Police across the country have often been caught using excessive force during arrests and other confrontations. Even when such incidents are captured on video, officers are often able to escape punishment or other consequences. Such appears to be the case yet again. In a controversial ruling, a three-judge panel of the Fifth Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that an officer who admitted to twisting a teenage girl’s arms to cause her pain did not violate the law in his actions.
The officer admitted to purposely hurting the teenage girl. _______________________
Martin ended up violently arresting the mother and her 19-year-old daughter, Brea Hymond, who intervened in the argument. In the process, Martin purposely hyperextended Hymond’s handcuffed arms, and he admits he did intend to force her to tell him her name and age after she initially refused to do so.

If you are fully cooperating with the officers there should be no assault on your person. Now if you’re an idiot.....
And, obviously the observers of “alleged” excessive force have never interacted physically with these assclowns. Fidiots!
Police have been sanctioned to use pain to gain compliance forever.
I would like to see how the court framed the issue instead of Yahoo.
I have often read court decisions, only to find the actual decision had little relationship to how it was described by a third party.
Using pain as a means of getting somebody to give information is more commonly known as torture.
Chief said he violated policy and was suspended.
Rule number 1. Don’t call police. Once that rule is violated, very little to nothing good follows. This is a case in point.
A little pain never hurt anyone.
You’re not required to tell them anything. They are not allowed to torture people for information.
I have not read it yet.

But morons will read the yahoo headline and nothing more.
The fact is, you don’t have to talk to the police, and you shouldn’t without a lawyer present, no matter what they say or do.

However, if police have probable cause to arrest someone and they resist, police can use force. This headline, like so many, could be misleading, dunno.
Depends on whether or not you are a proponent of corrupting the language.
The idiots on the left (yeah, yeah, I know — no one else is over there) have redefined speech as violence. So, if a copper says “Hands up, dirtbag”, that would mean torture??
BS.
This is a good ruling. Otherwise, any whiny little TWOT will say it is hurt, and a corrupt DA (yeah, yeah, a lot of them, too) will toss the case.
An actual court case will spell out what was done and by whom. A jury will decide.

Buh-Bye!
