A real, #ing tough guy.

I hate to be accused of visual profiling, but that woman’s pic is telling me, “Very crazy, often very drunk, quite often both.”

I certainly could be wrong.

[donhunt]

Actually it looks like it may have improved her looks.

Let’s see... Using cell phone while driving, getting out of the car when pulled over, walking away from the officer, inviting him to walk with you, pulling away from the officer when he grabs you, keeping a cell phone in your hand (and dialing!) while being placed under arrest?

Oh, geeze, this is stupid with a capital S. Never mind the dog, she’s lucky SHE wasn’t shot.

[ClearCase_guy]

I’m getting a great big “she deserved it” vibe on this thread which ... surprises me.

[Vendome]

I have trouble with both sides of this story.

[umgud]

I’ve never done it, but have fantasized about smacking a few females. But, we can’t let our fantasies and desires override our self control. This cop didn’t excesize self control whether she deserved it or not.

[Kevmo]

Why didn’t they just tazer her? What a bunch of adrenaline cowboys.

[Little Ray]

Charged with “felony assault to a police officer.”

Sure. Right after the cops show the injuries they sustained from her “assault.” What the hell is wrong with these cops?

[Carriage Hill]

Damn, I haven’t seen a ‘shiner’ like that one, in many years.

"However, the police report states: "As the officer approached, Graham squared off against him in a fighter's stance and attempted to strike him with closed fists. "

Sure, that's credible.

[kiryandil]

During the 911 call, another responding officer reportedly hit Graham several times in the face.

Wow. The nutcase peasant wench beat the crap out of his fist with her face...

[Mashood]

“Graham, who has cognitive and hearing disabilities...”

If she didn’t before... she does now.

[kiryandil]

However, the police report states: "As the officer approached, Graham squared off against him in a fighter's stance and attempted to strike him with closed fists. [The officer] responded with closed fist strikes to Graham's face, which brought her to the ground where she was handcuffed."

Man! The poor outgunned officer is fortunate she didn't "blade" on him, and attempt to summon The Fist of Thor.

[Irenic]

“I told the officer I was going to carry my dog 30 feet to a friend’s apartment. I told him, ‘Hey, you can walk with me.’”

“As the officer approached, Graham squared off against him in a fighter’s stance and attempted to strike him with closed fists. “

Was she holding onto her dog while in the fighters stance with her fists up? I think he thought she was too cocky and he showed her who is boss. That is my opinion.

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 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.
