5150'd over a tweet [View all]

I still feel new here and rarely post, but I'd like to hear opinions/thoughts on this story. I follow this woman on tumblr and she is adamant about having her experience heard. She made a metaphorical tweet and next thing she knows, LAPD is busting in on her. It sounds crazy but it did happen. It's kinda long but if you have the time....thanks!
