HAGERSTOWN, Md. - A Maryland police chief is defending the actions taken by his officers following an incident where a 15-year-old girl was pepper sprayed by police, but the girl and her family tell a different story about what happened. Body camera video released by the Hagerstown Police Department shows the incident, which happened after the girl's bicycle allegedly hit a car.

The girl faces charges of disorderly conduct, second-degree assault, possession of marijuana and failure to obey a traffic device. The incident has prompted disagreement about whether the officers acted properly. Footage from two different officers' body cameras was released late Wednesday.

I think they were supposed to just let her go when she told them to get off her.

"This is one of the worst cases of police brutality that I have seen in more than 40 years of practicing law," Ficker said.

Boy are your clients in for a disappointment. You suck!

Isn’t she going to get charged for the pot found on her?

She’s not too old to be turned over her parents’ knees. A bit late though.

I just found a copy of the police cam video. I don’t need to wait for Tommy’s take on this, I know what he ‘s going to say. This is the BT-1200 coming up and she is meaner than the BT-1100

The girl’s parents and her lawyer have to be bitterly disappointed that the complete interaction with police was captured on body cams proving that the cops were justified in ALL their actions. There will be no money pot waiting for the lawyer and family to scarf up.

What struck me was that everyone, the cops, the driver who got hit, everyone was concerned with the girl’s welfare. She was acting the fool, which kids do sometimes, and everyone there just ingorned that, and acted like responsible adults.

But it all becomes clear when the parents think they’ve hit the lottery, and sue, insteand of apologizing for the appaling behavior of their child and hitting the door in utter mortifaction.

He ~may~ be telling the truth.

But then the practice of Patent Law can be dreadfully dull.

At least Ficker convinced her to remove all the slutty selfies and gangsta/dope memes from her FB page.

Now it’s full of bible verses.

See? Everyone is raising hades about having body cameras and when the police do, its still fodder for big mouth attorneys who smell a big payday, if only from books and guest appearances.

It is also violence porn for people who have a penchant for such and for those who wish to spend their time second guessing the police as a poor hobby.
