The officer here lost his head and forgot he was dealing with a 15 yr old girl. Does anyone think it would look as bad if the perp had been a 15 yr old male gang banger? I almost got tazed once by a Miami Cop because I poked his partner in the chest with my finger to make a point during a traffic stop. He didn't charge me with assault...but my lawyer said I should have thanked him for not doing so. Except for the age of the perp, I'm pretty sure what the cop did was legal. Thoughtless and foolish perhaps...but legal.
“What the young lady did by kicking her shoe at the officer would be considered assault on on officer here...”
I don’t know since I’ve never been locked up. Perhaps you do... Do the ask you to give up your shoes when they put you in a cell? I have heard they take your belt.
