    Depends on the reason for the arrest. If I get zip-tied and dragged off the streets for saying mean things about orange man, I won’t be the embarrassed one.

      No I certainly would agree with that. But being restrained against your will and having your records publicized about being an offender of the law certainly doesn’t bode well for your own public image or on employment applications.

        It’s not embarrassing for her, it’s embarrassing for the police that they arrested her.
        She is a lawyer and a civil rights activist, my guess is that being a civil rights activist is in line with her activity as a lawyer.
        And I doubt very much she did anything illegal.
