Florida mother-of-four who ditched her family to join the Occupy Wall Street protest loses police brutality suit

The Florida mom who left her banker husband and four kids to join the Occupy Wall Street protest just lost in court after a jury rejected her claims that police officers violently arrested her during a 2011 protest.

Stacey Hessler sued the city of New York in 2013, claiming that NYPD cops dragged her around by her dreadlocks when she was being arrested.

However, attorneys for the city said that the 42-year-old woman blocked pedestrian traffic and refused to move when the officers politely asked her to create space.

The attorneys said that Hessler tried to escape when officers were moving to arrest her.

I feel bad for her poor family. What an awful thing to do to them.

That was cheap but his kids are saddled with a crazy mother and the risk that it is genetic.

It would be worth the cash to not have to see her in court. A case like this would drag out for years.

I would kiss the check freed me from that train wreck.

Agree with you 100%.
Courts are typically very sympathetic to the mother’s side.

I think the guy got off pretty well and hopefully can keep the kids on a decent path.

He’s a banker and had the cash to toss a bone to her and move on with his house and full custody of his children. $85,000 covered her legal expenses. It was a good deal for him that he did not have to give her at least half of his assets and shared custody.

$85K is CHEAP to make a case like this go away. Especially for an upper middle class banker. She got just enough to pay her lawyers, who figured they would likely lose.

Sounds like her husband and family got the better part of the deal after she left.
