The video of her getting arrested popped up in my newsfeed but I had never heard of her. I didn't know she was in playboy until I read your post so I just looked her up lol. So she didn't consider it disrespectful to pose naked with an american flag dragging on the ground? Definitely a bit hypocritical. She wouldn't have been arrested if she had just released the flag to the police officer, she's probably lucky she didn't get charged with resisting arrest.
That's what it looks like, she even pauses in the middle of getting arrested to make sure her daughter recorded it all. Maybe she misses her Playboy fame?
I've never heard of this lady before but I definitely think she could have gone about this another way. All she had to do was talk to the protesters, explain she fought for the freedom of this country and disrespecting the flag is inappropriate/uncalled for. Other guys have done the same thing and had much better results.
