what the hell is wrong with Fla. the cops are just as crooked as Zimmerman, guess that's why he wanted to be one to get away with it without that pesky court thing.Police in Tallahassee on Tuesday said that they “stand by our practices” that resulted in a woman’s cheekbone being broken last month when two officers slammed her face on the ground during an arrest for drunk driving.Attorney Fred Conrad told the Tallahassee Democrat that he planned to sue the Tallahassee Police Department on behalf of his client, 44-year-old Christina West, after he reviewed dashcam video of officers breaking the orbital bone in her face and causing other injuries.Dashcam video shows officers giving West a field sobriety test after she crashed her SUV into a house on Aug. 10. West is placed in a patrol car, but she is later asked to get out of the car.A struggle occurs while the woman is asking her about her husband and a car seat for her child, and the two officers slam her head into the cruiser. And then the two men force her to the ground with their full weight, causing her to scream in agony as her face is smashed on the pavement.
damn, where have i seen that before?
oh yeah i remembered.
these incidents are not just police brutality, these are sick individuals high on a power trip like rapist it's about the power over one.
Conrad said that he "had a physical reaction to that tape the first time I saw that video.""I don't care if she was drunker than Cooter Brown and took a breath test and blew through the moon … that's not warranted. That's not okay," Conrad insisted to WCTV.State Attorney Willie Meggs told the station that the dashcam video was "very disturbing.""I didn't see anything in the video that would cause me to believe that this woman needed anybody to use any type of force or restraint on her," Meggs explained.The State Attorney's office has dismissed charges of assault on a police officer and battery charges filed by a nurse at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. A DUI charge is still pending while the state waits for toxicology results.After reviewing the video, City Commissioner Scott Maddox wrote City Manager Anita Favors Thompson and City Attorney Lew Shelley that the city should expect a "substantial" lawsuit, according to Tallahassee Democrat.
and i hope they get it and why does do process have any place when it's on video tape stupid, what is there to argue about this should have been over yesterday.
"We standby our practices that we have in place and we also stand by the procedures that we have in place," Northway remarked. "And if there is something that has gone awry in this investigation then the proper procedures will be followed and actions will be taken against those officers."The two officers involved in incident have been placed on administrative leave while the investigation continues.
that means the get to stay home, drink beer have the guys come by and high five, "WITH PAY".
