Bodycam footage released on Tuesday shows the moment Denver police officers told a Colorado journalist to “act like a lady” as they handcuffed her for attempting to photograph them. Denver police detained Susan Greene, editor of The Colorado Independent, in July after she approached officers surrounding a nearly naked African-American man who was sitting handcuffed on a sidewalk. One officer blocked Greene and told her that taking photographs violated the man’s Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) rights. She was then handcuffed and told to “stand up straight” and “act like a lady.”“Are you fucking kidding me?” she asked. “Act like a lady?”After telling officers multiple times that she was being hurt, the police told Greene to “walk normal” and “stop resisting.”
