An emotional transgender attorney wound up on the ground in handcuffs last month after she repeatedly ran afoul of a judge.
The attorney, Rob Hopkins, a woman who pretends to be a man, got into it with Judge Laurie Jackson in Pontotoc County, Oklahoma, on Feb. 5. During the argument, she repeatedly accused the judge of interrupting and disagreeing with her because of her transgender status.
The feud eventually devolved into a physical confrontation between her and the courtroom deputies.
Watch:
Trans-identified female lawyer berates judge, pulls trans card, gets found in contempt, resists arrest, screams “I can’t breathe,” and yells for people to call 911 as she’s fighting police.
Absolutely glorious performance.

The clip began with Judge Laurie Jackson telling Hopkins to behave and be quiet.
“Stop! Stop! Stop! You interrupt me one more time, you are being held in indirect contempt of court,” Jackson said. “And you can wipe that smirk off your face.”
“Yes, ma’am, I don’t have a smirk on my face,” Hopkins replied.
“Oh, yes, you do,” the judge insisted.
“I do not,” Hopkins continued, fighting back.
“I am not going to tolerate this from you, sir,” the judge replied. “Fill out the request. Get the form from our court clerk’s office on the second floor. Make sure it comports with what you’ve got already. Get it filed, mailed in, whatever you need to do. Let us assess her request.”
Instead of complying, Hopkins caught an attitude.
“My client’s not seen her child,” she said. “There is no order in this court. And there’s been no jurisdiction found that this court has jurisdiction over this child who has never lived in your county. Never lived.”
“You just said that …,” the judge replied, though it was hard to hear what she said next.
“I did not,” Hopkins pushed back. “There was a pause. There was a break. I wasn’t done with my argument.”
“And I was not done with my statement,” Judge Jackson then promptly cut in. “You interrupted again.”
An evidently fed-up Hopkins then tossed her phone down on a bench in front of her in such a rash, hurried manner that it fell to the floor.
“Do not throw your phone,” the judge then tried to say before being interrupted.
“I did not throw it!” Hopkins insisted. “It fell off the bench. Please stop stating things that are not true, ma’am.”
The bickering continued back and forth for a bit longer until Hopkins decided to play the transgender card by suggesting Jackson was picking on her because “I’m a transgender attorney practicing all over this state.”
“I don’t know what you are,” the judge fired back, adding that she doesn’t care about such things, only for Hopkins to keep saying “you do.”
“You do, ma’am! You do, ma’am!” she said over and over again.
The judge tried to redirect the conversation back to sanity by once again instructing Hopkins on getting the right forms filled out, but the transgender attorney still refused to comply.
“So we are pausing this until you get the ADA request form filled out, and it gets processed,” the judge said.
“I drove an hour and a half to have the hearing,” Hopkins whined. “My client’s available telephonically, and we are simply not even taking testimony.”
“Is your client available telephonically?” the judge then asked.
“Yes, ma’am,” Hopkins replied.
“Well, then get her on the phone,” the judge said.
As Hopkins reached for her phone, the other attorney present — presumably the prosecutor– then tried to object, only for Hopkins to start talking over and yelling at him too.
Thoroughly disgusted at this point, Judge Jackson finally had enough and declared Hopkins in contempt, prompting the deputies to come over and try to take her into custody, only for her to start resisting just like any regular ol’ street thug would.
As the deputies got rougher with her, she even started demanding a female officer, which was ironic given that she identified as a man.
Six days after the incident occurred, Hopkins’ law firm announced that it would be permanently shutting its doors:
We are closing our doors, but we would like to thank you all for your kindness, support, and most of all loyalty for the…
