I saw the video and I didn’t see anything malicious on part of the deputy. He witnessed her consuming a pill and didn’t know what that pill was. He didn’t beat her or throw her around or anything else that bad cops do.
The alternative possibility for him, not knowing why the woman consumed a pill was a possible OD.
In this case, I can support the deputy.
Why didn’t he just ask her to spit it out, then? It looks like he went full onto her as his FIRST action. He got QUITE physical with her.
I imagine she would have taken this pain medication earlier minus the drama and trauma if she’d known she was “in custody” and what that meant.
re your #36, did she know that she should inform them she had a prescription med? did they search her when she came in, did they ask her?

I don’t support this LOW IQ deputy. You say he didn’t “throw her around or anything else”? Perhaps you didn’t view the video. If there was a video of a husband doing the exact same acts on his wife, he’d be in jail on domestic abuse charges.
Wear your chains lightly.
Oh' horse crap
How about the JBT first politely ask to see the pill bottle she had with her...she had the bottle right there with her instead of using excessive force...?
...but she didn't even have a chance...
At what point do the police have carte' blanche to manhandle a person who voluntarily was there because of a possible (small) issue that could have been easily resolved with common decency and normal human interaction... ?
Shiny badge syndrome is the problem
Well then, the proper response would have been to fill her with lead, 17 rounds, leaving one in the chamber in case someone else decided to get stupid. We simply cannot tolerate anyone taking medication without police knowledge and permission. Part of our problem is that such tactics in most jurisdictions are limited to those incarcerated in confinement facilities. This is clearly insufficient. Any citizen, no matter where they are and no matter what they are doing, need to be subject to the complete and total control of Law Enforcement, for their safety. These people are trained, they would never abuse their authority. Get with the program.

This is not normal procedure for od in any circumstances. Ever. Taken to hospital and monitored. YOur support is misguided.
