‘Gentle’ airport Karen turns into violent demon after being arrested for drunken behavior
A drunk airport passenger went from meek and mild to a full meltdown after she was arrested for public intoxication.
The woman, named Paula, was approached by officers at Dallas Fort Worth airport after they received ‘multiple’ calls about her behavior.
While she was initially compliant, things took a turn after she learned that she would not be able to board her flight to Louisiana and would instead be spending a night in jail.
The October 2024 incident was captured on bodycam footage obtained newly unearthed by Police Watch.
In the video, Paula is seen wandering around the departures lounge when police approach and ask her what is going on.
She immediately admits to drinking and says she is ‘not bad’ when asked how intoxicated she is.
However, when police ask her where her stuff is she shrugs, ‘somewhere’ and flops down onto a chair.
She admits to drinking ‘four Absoluts’ around four hours ago and says she hasn’t eaten since downing the vodkas.

As the interrogation continues, Paula becomes agitated and suddenly bursts into tears crying.
‘Please don’t do this, I just want to go home,’ she sobs gently as the police explain they just want to help.
The officers ask her some field sobriety questions which she manages to answer, however she continues pleading with them to let her go.
‘We got several calls about you okay and even while you were walking over here you were falling over,’ the officer informs her. ‘You’re unstable on your feet, I can smell the alcohol coming off you.’
They ask to see her ID but it quickly becomes clear that she has lost her license during her vodka-fueled antics, prompting one officer to try and search for it at the bar and in the bathroom.
‘Please don’t do this, I’m just tired,’ Paula insists. ‘Am I going to get like busted? Do I need to run?’
The cops ask her if she knows where she is she looks visibly confused before answering ‘Terminal One’.
‘We don’t have a terminal one here ma’am,’ a female officer informs her.

However, after learning she was to be arrested for public intoxication Paula became violent, even kicking a police car as she was taken into custody
Eventually the police decide they need to arrest her and tell Paula she will be coming in to sleep off the alcohol.
Paula’s friendly mask suddenly slips, with the drunk flier hurling f and c-bombs at arresting officers while struggling and kicking a police car.
‘Why did you grab me? What did I do?’ she demands before she is told she is intoxicated in public.
‘Really? F**k you!’ she spits back at the officer before she is walked through the airport where she continues cursing. ‘F**k you, f**king b***h.’
Her tirade continues all the way outside where she lashes out and kicks a police car as she passes.
Paula then starts jerking around as the officers try to search her before placing her inside the vehicle.
Once she arrives at the police station, she can be heard kicking and screaming from outside the car.

She is then walked inside where she continues to excoriate the officers, targeting the female officer in particular who she calls a ‘c**t’ as well as a ‘smelly f***king t**t’.
Disgustingly, Paula also tells a female police officer ‘You smell worse than my c***.’
At one point Paula starts mimicking the female officer and kicking against the door.
It takes several officers to hustle her inside and try and remove her jewelry as she begins contorting herself to make it as difficult as possible.
‘Does that feel good you f**king b***h?’ she repeatedly asks as she is finally forced to the ground.
As the clip ends Paula can be seen lying in a heap on the floor of the cell.

People confuse the word “alone” with lonely.
In a society where marriage has been held up as the ideal, they misunderstand how those who’ve never married, or who are widowed or divorced, experience living alone.
Will you still need me when I’m 84?Empty heading
Loneliness is not tied to relationship status, and it’s a fallacy to assume that marriage or cohabitation is the solution. Ask anyone who’s been in an unhappy, non-communicative marriage. Eric Klinenberg, the author of “Going Solo,” a book about living alone, looks at the emergence of the one-person household as an increasingly preferred living choice. “People who live alone do get lonely,” Klinenberg says, “but so do people in marriages.”
Younger people have made living alone a choice; in the under-65 demographic, 15 million live alone and many are actively choosing single lives, at the same time proving that the old equation between living alone and being unhappy no longer holds true. Younger singles are just as happy and healthy as younger people in committed relationships. But what about the 11 million seniors who are leading single lives? According to researchers, many older singles are not doing so well.
As we age, many of us start worrying what living alone will be like. Who’ll help if I become ill? What if I feel lonely and isolated? We worry about maintaining social connections if we lose mobility. Those of us who sought a single life and chose not to remarry after a divorce or spouse’s death might find ourselves rethinking our priorities.
Should advancing age cause people like me who are single to rethink our status? Is it time to find a partner?
In an effort to quantify the feeling of loneliness – a sense of not having meaningful contact with others, accompanied by painful distress – geriatric specialists at the University of California, San Francisco, asked 1,604 adults age 60 and older how often they felt isolated or left out, or lacked companionship. Sixty-two percent of those who reported being lonely were married. (Click here to read more about the study.)
Maybe what we need as we plan for old age is to expand our social connections and interactions – not look for a husband.
Words – and More – With FriendsEmpty heading
We long for meaningful relationships and social connections. That may be why increasing numbers of older people are turning to online dating sites, which offer a way to connect with others and make new friends, even if they don’t deliver a life partner.
There are other ways to connect and grow our social circles, too. Facebook is a great place to chat, keep up with friends’ activities and even play games with them, like the popular game Word with Friends. Some websites offer forums and chat rooms that encourage users to interact with others. Online friendships can supplement real life relationships.
We need social interactions and people in our lives who care about us, but living alone doesn’t always lead to loneliness, just as living with others is no guarantee of happiness. We can maintain our independent lifestyles as we age and build strong social connections at the same time.
