In what context is it okay for any officer to do this to someone?
Obviously, the officer was in the wrong and used excessive force for reasons not stated in this article; the victim’s Lawyer seems to think s/he can make the case...in this case.
I’m just curious as to WHAT landed her in jail in the first place. That part of the story is MISSING.
You know...so I make sure it never happens to ME when I have a Martini or two IN MY OWN HOME on a weekend evening and the cops show up to haul ME (or you!) off to jail.
Just being pro-active. Heaven forfend we be safe in our own homes doing whatever the heck we want to when we want to on our OWN tax-revenue-generating-mortgaged properties!
