The Melbourne Cup brings out the best and worst in people. This was the worst.
Sarah Finn, the woman who was filmed pushing a police officer into a flower bed on Cup Day, has issued an apology.
“My level of intoxication is no excuse. I deeply apologise for my actions. I acknowledge a massive error in judgement on my behalf,” she wrote on Facebook yesterday.
The push was very random, seemingly unprovoked and – as the women learned when she was escorted away under police guard – illegal.
But, curiously, in the video Finn is heard saying the cameraman told her to do it and yesterday she wrote this message on Channel 7’s Facebook page. “You guys forgot to mention that you told me to do it.”
We don’t endorse pushes into flowerbeds, but you have to admit that even the police officer appeared to find it kind of funny in an interview after.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I am not sure about Victoria but I am fairly certain that in Western Australia there is a minimum 3 month jail sentence for anyone who assaults a police officer, Ambulance officer etc- is that what will happen to this woman?
I think it is awful. I really hope she is charged with assault, because that it what it is, plain and simple.
If she was a male or even worse a person of colour (especially a muslim) the press would be up in arms (especially the radio shock jocks) demanding his head and going on and on about the so called "Islamic problem" in Australia. It's only funny cause it's a stupid drunk girl!!!
You just made up a whole sinario of who knows what! Deal with the facts at hand ! And comment on that you are what's wrong with racial profiling. My 1st reaction was wtf did she just do. Not if that was a Muslim ! Stop it
