Tax payer shouldn't have to pay for this. The cops should.
I hogtied a woman once when I was a cop. She was under arrest, drunk and trying to kick out my squad car window.
Not saying this was the case here, but you act like a criminal, you get treated like a criminal.
Tax payer shouldn't have to pay for this. The cops should.
These two were caught in their lies.
Yep. What more is there to say?
Wow, that’s not an arrest, that’s a rape. That video is really disturbing.
The article said something about it not showing what she might have done. She got out of the car and was standing there very passively...until slammed to the ground and then hog tied.
Did any of the cops lose their jobs?
I would gladly have waived the $250,000 if the judge could make certain that every low-life scum-sucking PIG involved in that stop was never again able to serve in any law enFORCEment capacity anywhere.
A little ‘roid rage never hurt nobody!
Good thing she didn’t have a dog.
I have lost any respect I had remaining for the California Highway Patrol. They harbor and sanctify violent psychopaths.
I feel safer just knowing this. (do I really need the sarc tags?)
Craven animals doing what craven animals do.
I am glad she got paid. But those cops should be out of a job.
Anytime a city or State has to pay a victim for police abuse, those officers should automatically be fired, at the least. They should be prosecuted when they commit crimes against citizens. This was a crime of assault and battery. She presented no danger to them. Her hands were clearly in view. They were mad because she did not turn immediately around as bellowed (which made no sense) so they attacked her like mad dogs. Any excuse for brutality will do for the bad apples.
It’s a good thing she wasn’t a 15 year old girl slightly kicked her shoes towards a police officer. She could have been shot for that.

They're in the information business and they're poisoning their own wells.
99% of the cops make the other 1% look bad.
It took six cops to attack one woman.
Feeling safer? Yes. Yes I am.

Her bewilderment was clear on the video. Those LEOs were looking for an excuse to assault a citizen. A pity they aren’t paying out of their own paychecks.
The p.o.s. had a suspended license and shouldn’t have even been driving in the first place. It’s not that easy to get a suspended license - - you usually have to be reckless multiple times and/or a drunk. That said, the cops (four of them were needed??) looked like sadistic animals and bullies. The whole event was a collision of worthless morons. No sympathy for any of them.
