Yeah! Let's go easy on Dorothy. I mean, it's not like she's a painting or anything.

You're smiling after you go "crazy" and they push you to the ground? Huh!

ward .. i think she is. i think she's smirking. but it's hard to tell in the picture. i just saw a weird story about aldermanic cars on fox tonight and she was on there giving good ol' dane placko some hell.

A vile person. A corrupt person. And a person whose I know a bunch of people in her former ward and I work partly in her ward. Bad stuff about her in the news never even scratched the surface of her corrupt activities. Her ouster from office, along with this goofy incident, should give us all reason to smile. And hey, why isn't she smiling in the profile shot?

I really hope she's o.k, I mean considering her service to this city! but I always expected her to be arrested, but not at a hospital, I thought it would be for buying crack around the projects in her the ward

and whaddya know, some conflicting information for the police haters out there. Turns out Tillman was with a clouted CPD sergeant/ex-sergeant in Alabama. You know, good ole boys and thin blue lines and all. Quick, somebody make up a backup conspiracy!

i don't get why people are all about smiling in their mugshots now. it's like some secret 'fuck you' to the cops? "ha ha, i'm arrested, but you can't get me down. unless of course you tase me, bro."

Funny you should say that. Isn't she sort of famous for waving a gun around at a City Council meeting?

I don't actually care how much she mouthed off (which is what I'm assuming she did, hell, it's Dorothy Tillman) NO ONE deserves getting knocked to the ground unless they're brandishing a weapon.

To be fair, the cops did tell her to take off her hat.

I'm sure that a mouthy bitch like Tillman didn't cause any problems whatsoever. I hope they beat her dumb ass with that hat.

That mug shot rivals Tom Delay's.
