Not of you can stomach watching the heavily edited video of her arrest.

Unlike La-a, pronounced “la dash a”

N'Finitee

I don't think I even need to see the video.

It is settled law by the US Supreme Court that you do not have a right to refuse an officer’s request to exit the vehicle. Every cop knows that.

Her mother should be arrested for giving her that name. Unless that’s here stripper stage name.

an old bullet hole in the driver's side door that had police evidence markings on it," investigators said.

Good grief, lady. That's what duct tape is for!

[No name given]

Well said.

[KC_Conspirator]

She did not do nothing.

[oldskoolwargamer2]

Shoulda picked our own damn cotton.

[eyeamok]

Yep, her daddy taught her well...

[gundog]

That’d be a silly name.

Dumbasses need to familiarize themselves with the term “focusing blow.” It’s a neat little device for bringing one into the here-and-now.

Make an effort to act like a human and there wouldn’t have been a problem.

Most people don't have the luxury of real bullet holes and have to buy fake bullet hole stickers for their cars to make it look like they belong in the 'hood.

I bet mom thought she was soooo clever with that ridiculous name.

[Organic Panic]

Do watch the whole video. As many said, she did exactly what she was taught to do. Scream yell resist arrest fight pull an attitude.

She will not enjoy the video being posted in its entirety.

It was her vehicle license that was suspended without insurance . That is a misdemeanor traffic violation. Furthermore, the officer never even asked for identification before forcefully opening her door without first asking permission.

A police officer cannot open your car door without permission unless there's probable cause, a search warrant, or an immediate concern for public safety. The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches, requiring legal justification. It all went downhill from there and the level of violence initiated by the officers was unwarranted for a mere misdemeanor traffic violation.

She should have kept her cool and peacefully complied with the officer's request. But like many other such events, LEO's seem to have a habit of willfully escalating these encounters and use any means or excuse to claim the the defendant was resisting in order to make an arrest.

Accusing the officers of assaulting her.

Offered a banana for her baby.

A Flip Wilson story he had some funny ones he went after everybody.

Really? I need to start a side business and offer to put REAL bullet holes in their car.

$50 a pop.

No upbringing.

It would be good to see stats on shooting of officers. How many happened out of the blue without warning? Or how many happened with the perp mouthing off to the officer for no reason?

I’d wager if a perp starts spouting off at the officer, there’s a high probability of that person opening fire. Hence the cops are on high alert and get rougher to handle the possibility of it rapidly escalating to gunfire.

She did a Rodney King. Try to get a beating so they drop charges.
