Anyone else notice how much our cops & military have changed under Obama’s leadership?
Maybe it’s got to do with this administration’s lawlessness but we’ve got a real problem lately with those who have always been the ‘good guys’, suddenly acting (as a group) completely corrupt, abusive, controlling, power hungry, careless etc. etc.
They behave like they’re suddenly of a KGB mindset where the constitution is out the window.
How far off can we be from our judiciary & law enforcement making us pay bribe money for them to do their job or suffer the consequences? It happens in S America all the time...It’s a way of life there. We’re headed that way real quick.

I see the wisdom of reading further. No doubt she has dispatched countless ninjas with her fists of death. I understand shaolin monks can hit you so hard your grandfather will die.

“Instead of going Rambo, the officer should have recognized what he was dealing with.”

There’s your problem! A lot of LEOs have size 44 uniforms, size 4 hats, and a burning desire to beat the $h!t out of anyone for even the flimsiest reasons. They seem to not realize that they need to be the “adult.” Oh America, how far you have fallen when you read stuff like this.

Just how did she "square off" against Officer Fife when she was carrying a dog and a cell phone?

Cross-examining Barney on this fact pattern is a trial lawyer's wet dream.

I am not a police officer and have never worked in such a stressful environment to understand their thinking. With that said, I cannot comprehend a scenario with two officers present necessitating such force as to brutally beat a woman in the face to subdue her. The assaulting officer should be behind bars.

Many years ago I saw a similar confrontation at a bus stop between a woman who looked like she was mentally challenged and two police officers. I was across the street as they were beating the crap out of her. I shouted at them to stop it; they did for just a moment and yelled something at me that indicated that I was next.

This was before cell phones; I went to a pay phone and called the police and was connected by dispatch to a police sergent whose only interest was covering for his officers and started accusing me of criminally interfering with his officer’s work. I went home and told my parents about it. I believe that they complained to someone, but nothing was done.

I have never been in any trouble with the police, but the incident caused me to distrust the them. Even now when I work with them on a daily basis I still remember that many are capable of misusing their power.

Even now, some posters still cling to a “blame the victim mentality”, doing all sorts of mental gymnastics to justify Criminal Government Employee Behavior.

Quite classy. “Joking” that a victim of assault has had her looks “improved”.

Agreed. If you fantasize about hitting women (or men) without cause, you need help.

“BTW - the “stop resisting” crap is the “tell” in this story. The fascistleece scream that when they’re about to beat the crap out of you. If they were REALLY not in control of the situation, they’d be too busy to think of shouting it...”

Exactly.
