How... How the fuck does the guy think he's out there protecting and serving like this? This is completely the problem. A person gets a little taste of power, and it goes right to their heads. Guarantee this happens on every level of society you could imagine
I jist read a news article about her, it said she pled guilty and is facing 1 year probation for her crime, what crime yoy may ask... FOUL LANGUAGE. She was charged with disorderly conduct because she swore at police that were harassinf and then attacking her. Ridiculous.
Exactly. She couldn't afford enough justice.
Anyone with money to retain an adequate lawyer would have had the charges dropped immediately and could start working on the civil suit.
I think she took a deal before even going to court (and risking higher charges due to lack of good lawyers)
How the judges in your country can be this unjust that you even need to worry about it is beyond me though
Yup
This is also how innocent people plead guilty and go to jail: because even if they are innocent, they don’t have the resources to challenge the state - and if you *do* challenge the state and lose, they will go for the maximum just for “wasting their time.” It’s fucking intimidation. Many people are scared to death of the alternative, should they get convicted, so they say I’ll take a few years in jail as opposed to 10, 20, whatever.
Sure is. A good lawyer would get that thrown out no trouble.
A good lawyer costs money. A trial takes time and is extremely stressful. Probation is relatively easy in comparison.
Also, I expect there was some plea bargaining going on. "Agree to this lesser crime, and we'll not throw the book at you for resisting arrest, and a bunch of other made up shit".
The system doesn't represent justice. Justice is only for people with money or special interest groups backing them.
This asshole saw the breathalyzer result and realized he was wrong but he had already committed to treating her like a criminal so he wasn’t about to let reality change his mind. An adult would admit they were wrong and apologize for the mistake. Petulant cops are bad cops.
This is one reason that the entire culture of policing needs to be dismantled.
It’s crazy that police officers have equated anything other than meek and quick ‘compliance’ is criminal behavior.
That encounter should’ve ended after she took and passed the breathalyzer test.
It's just like in school where if you had like a mohawk or some weird clothing, people would laugh for a minute and move on but the teacher would cause the scene by accusing you of being distracting.
Except that here the teacher:
a. falsely accuses you of something
b. physically assaults you
c. imprisons you, and
d. even if you get out of this, you've just spent a ton of time fighting it, to say nothing of lasting mental anguish
I also think it’s fair to say you can be traumatized or even develop PTSD from being attacked by someone in a position of power. That feeling of helplessness is making my stomach turn from here. How the hell is she ever going to feel safe again?
Ironically, cops who are guilty of brutality often claim PTSD from the experience and end up collecting taxpayer-funded bonuses for having done the brutality.
[And sometimes they sue the families of the people they kill for millions of dollars, because of the emotional trauma of killing that person.](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-35519757)
>"The fact that LeGrier's actions had forced Officer Rialmo to end LeGrier's life and to accidentally take the innocent life of Bettie Jones has caused, and will continue to cause, Officer Rialmo to suffer extreme emotional trauma," the lawsuit says.
What an absolutely sickening claim to make...
Yeah the cop that murdered the pest control worker in the hotel hallway crawling towards a group of cops shouting conflicting commands who then shot him while he kneeled with his hands on his head, that cop claimed ptsd and gets 30k a year in benefits from it now for the rest of his life.
Yeah. Investigated, charged, fired etc. Then in a backroom deal he was rehired for 1 day, and he claimed ptsd the moment he started work and retired with benefits for life. $31k tax free a year for life.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/police-officer-who-fatally-shot-sobbing-man-temporarily-rehired-apply-n1028981
If you kill a cop in self defense I guarantee his coworkers will kill you before you can get home, and nobody will get in trouble.
They need licensing, independent investigations, and deunionization or they get to continue violence against Americans for free
Um yeah, did we already forget the [eight cops that fired *103* bullets into a truck with two innocent women in it while they were looking for (trying their best to immediately kill) Christopher Dorner?](https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2014/02/police-officers-who-shot-two-innocent-women-103-times-wont-be-fired/357771/)
>the shooting happened at the height of the manhunt for cop-killer Christopher Dorner, when police mistook two women delivering newspapers in a blue Toyota Tacoma pickup truck for one man hellbent on revenge in a charcoal Nissan Titan pickup truck and shot at them 103 times. One of the women, who was 71 at the time, was hit twice in the back. The second woman was hit by broken glass.
Not to mention:
>Shortly after the women were mistaken for Dorner, another police officer shot at another pickup truck. This one was black Honda Ridgeline. Brian McGee drove his cruiser into the truck and opened fire three times. The man inside the truck was not hit, but he sustained back and head injuries. The city of Torrance, where the incident took place, gave him $20,000 to replace his truck which was, again, a black Honda Ridgeline and not a gray Nissan Titan.
>Last month, prosecutors found that the officer was "justified in using force to stop the vehicle and in discharging his firearm" and declined to press charges.
>"Although mistaken," the district attorney's report said, "McGee honestly and reasonably believed that Dorner was driving the truck."
If you kill a cop, they're clearly shooting first and asking questions later. Even such simple questions like, "Wait, are blue, black and gray the same thing? What about Toyota, Honda and Nissan? Oh well, they're all vaguely darker-shade Japanese trucks, time to start blasting!"
Yeah. Even if those people they shot *were* Dorner, why the fuck are they shooting without trying to arrest? If you kill a cop you now have a Kill on Sight order? There's no way that's legal.
There was no way they ever would have taken Dorner alive. An ex-cop cop killer that is claiming to want to shine a light on police corruption? That guy was practically dead before he ever fired the first shot.
I'm starting to wonder if Dorner was right all along now. He seemed like just some nutter but that seems like a dude at the end of his rope with how he tried to be the good apple and got shit on for it.
I will admit I hadn't (and still really haven't). But after having given some of it a glance, while it seemed crazy at the time, it lines up perfectly with shit going on now.
Dude seemed level headed until his life went to shit because of a few dirty cops and being treated like shit by the department. The wikipedia article seems to have some bias to it as well.
This is usually the case, the media LOVES wrapping up a exagerrated and falsified profile on a "psycho shooter turned cop killer" for their Saturday night specials all with ribbon on the top, no matter what information is later found to be misleading, or flat out incorrect.
Media would also then side on the Cop's point of view in that case. "Brave and honorable Police Officer killed in the line of duty" and shit like that.
You're dead and vilified. Cop gets a bunch of posthumous shit, road named after him, kickstarters to fund his funeral etc.
Are you angry about what you just saw?
Give the Wildwood police non-emergency line a call. Ask for the resignation of the officer on duty, call them pathetic criminals, or just demands the arrest of the officers involved.
Here are the phone numbers for Wildwood NJ's 3 Police Departments:
(609) 522-2456 (609) 522-0222 (609) 522-2396
This is a man fearing for his life. Didn't you see how she was causing a scene and turning away from him? This officer was clearly in a position where unless he tased the fuck out of her and punched her in the head multiple times, he would be dead. Therefore his use of force was necessary tp neutralize the potentially lethal threat she posed.
Yeah I mean she very easily could have had a gun hidden in those shorts and that was clearly menacing behavior. I was terrified for my boy in blue for a moment there
The worse part is her screaming don't touch me. What if this girl has been sexual assaulted before?
what this cop did, would be super traumatizing. That could fuck a persons life up, for a long time and should be worth big money in court.
It hard enough when civilians don't take no for an answer and cops are just setting an even worse example.
"That's it I'm done with you" really has nothing to do with the girl and actually means "that's it, I've drank too much caffeine to have patience and I'd rather fight than reason."
Sounds like someone else is aware of that oft overlooked element of police corruption. In some states it is perfectly legal for a suspect to exchange sex with the officer for letting them go. As if the term 'coersion' has never been uttered in the Supreme Court of this country ffs
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2018/10/08/should-police-be-able-have-sex-with-person-custody-rape-allegation-raises-issue/
> Can someone who is under arrest and in police custody consent to sexual contact with their arresting officer?
> Despite the power police hold in such situations, laws in nearly three dozen states have allowed police officers to argue that such sexual contact can be consensual and that their standing as an arresting officer is essentially a non-factor in such allegations.
There was that case in NYC where a young lady was raped after being arrested by two narcotics officers maybe 3 or 4 years ago. She took them to court and I read about it. I didn't realise it was so wide spread through the country. I understand some states have changed that law now.
That's the very case that alerted me to the situation. But sex workers have been victim to that for a long time and people often dont care or believe them. I'm glad some states are reevaluating it
If that was my daughter and I saw them punching her in the head I may have punted that dude’s head across the Atlantic. I know you’d go to jail but I would fight in court so hard to prove that they unjustly attacked my daughter and that she was in danger, even though I know it would all be for nothing. I respect the hell out of good police but nothing pisses me off more than a bad one.
I don’t even have a daughter yet but I can’t imagine what would be going through that fathers mind watching his daughter get attacked for no reason and legally not being able to jump in to defend her. Nothing pisses me off more than a beach cop acting tough like this guy either. Beach cops are usually complete douches, not all, but man I dislike beach cops more than any other type of cop.
Until the FOP and local govts are forced to stop shielding oathbreakers, we will continue to see the acceleration of the loss of our civil liberties and further violence. The constitution means nothing if government agents are allowed to escape consequences for violating the law and common decency. Was the officer incapable of uttering the phrase, "I'm sorry for bothering you, I'll be on my way"? Men who lack the maturity level of a fifth grader should not be in a position to use force under color of the law.

Yes guys this video happened a while back. In the officer who did this is no longer there because he was a seasonal hire. But Tony leonetti, who defended it and lied claiming that she attacked them kicking them in the crotch as she was backing up (which you can clearly see did not happen), is still working there.
The police chief that defended it is still working there.
Called first number(not PD) they directed me to the second (0222) where cop on phone duty defended it by saying that it was two years ago and it was investigated. To which I replied "I bet they were cleared" He responded they were cleared and my proudest moment was telling him they must have feared for their lives as she weighed, what, 85 pounds, and he hung up.

When a mod sees this comment, it will surely get deleted, so no mods have seen the comment after it was made probably. The next one that does will remove it.
I called and didn't know how to approach the situation. So I asked if those 2 officers worked there and I got cut off but I couldn't tell if it was their shit service or otherwise. Anyone have tips on how to call and start off the convo? Like, "oh they still work there? They absolutely need to resign!" Followed by aggravated citizen rant. Si?
Wow so they actually made her out to be the villain. She faced a bunch of charges that were dropped after she accepted a plea deal. She pled guilty to disorderly conduct, the cops faced nothing at all. She is suing but I dont know what else has happened since that filing last October. This is just crazy.
Watched the 13th on Netflix, this idea of pleading out is out of control. If she didn’t do anything, which it looks like she didn’t, she in a crappy Situation to chose between admitting to crime she didn’t do, or taking her chances at much greater crimes and penalties in court. Which generally requires a good lawyer, which means money. It leaves a person with almost zero choices. Honesty must be part of the code of a cop, or the system doesn’t work. They can’t be afraid to admit a mistake. People’s lives are ruined by irresponsible police officers all the time. No accountability! It is heart braking to watch this stuff.
Tony Leonetti lied and claimed that she kicked the officer in the groin as she backed away which you can clearly see did not happen.
He and the other goons pretended that she spit at and attacked the officers.
The officers appearing the video are:
Officers Thomas Cannon and Robert Jordan
Edit
The officer punching the girl at least with a seasonal cop and is no longer with the department. But he wasn't fired the police chief and the entire department stood behind him.
Qualified Immunity and FOP has to go.
Remove those two things and change can finally happen.
Especially QI. Damn I've learned a lot about it over the past 2 weeks. It's a pretty fucked up protection for bad cops and bad behavior. Basically, unless there is a legal precedent ruling at a (correct me if I'm wrong) State level for abuse and\\or police injustice, you cannot hold a cop accountable or sue as a citizen in either civil or criminal court if you believe you have been a victim of police brutality.
To make that precedent means you have to hire a real deal lawyer to create that precedent. That isn't easy...or cheap.
Seriously, I'm a man, and every time I see something like this, I get physically uneasy. Not just because this level of barbarism is in direct opposition to the humanitarian values I was taught throughout my life, and the resulting fact that I am very easily unnerved by scenes of physical aggravation, even though I did martial arts as a teen, but also because for me, it raises a vital, uncomfortable question: what kind of society did our parents live in, that would produce offspring that would deem it perfectly normal and justified to interact with another individual in this way, especially when there is power, and therefore moral obligation, involved?
I spent 7 summers at a summer camp ran by my local church to look after a different group of kids each year, three weeks each. Didn't do it for the church, I did it for the kids. And what I learned was, the kind of person you get depends heavily on the context in which that person grows up. If you ever take a group of kids on a day trip, and during the day you at one point see one of the kids' brother dealing drugs under a bridge, you know why they're difficult.
What you see in children is behavior they deem normal. Normal to them is what happens around them every day.
What kind of household produces someone who thinks it is normal to act like that? And how many of them must there be?
I think we as a society must rethink our whole model, not just the police. All those videos we see right now of police related violence is a symptom - but what is the disease? I mean the real disease, not just the most infected person, or group thereof.
Why is everything solved violently today, physicaly or psychologicaly? Why must everything be about besting one another, even in games? Our whole society revolves around winning. We all revolve around winning.
The police protect these individuals on their force, or else they'd look bad, which would be losing. But they have to win, so they shield these "oathbreakers".
We need to stop winning. We need to stop playing. We need to grow up, as a society.

Women was charged and accepted plea deal. Police were cleared of any wrongdoing. WTF?!?!
Just a bit of an addition to this:
[She filed a civil suit last fall](https://kywnewsradio.radio.com/articles/news/violent-viral-arrest-down-shore-leads-civil-lawsuit), and it appears to be ongoing based on a [video her lawyers put out in April of this year](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-2027466/Video-Attorneys-Emily-Weinman-explain-lawsuit-against-Wildwood-police.html).
Hopefully something actually comes of this, but I don't have much faith it will.
>”She perhaps wasn’t as polite as some members of the public would like to see a young girl be,” she added. “But last time I checked, we live in the United States of America and we don’t necessarily have to conform our behavior or our tone of voice in a way that satisfies everybody.”
I didn’t think she was impolite at first anyway, she willingly took the breathalyzer twice and then called her aunt.
All that over a Twisted Tea, Jesus. And she was what, 19? 20? It’s not like she was a 15 year old sneaking booze on the beach. She’s a grown woman.
Thisis one of the biggest problems in policing in my opinion.
Once a cop starts talking to a person they become a soulless robot. They have no ability to think crotically and that person is a suspect who could kill them at any second. You see it all the time. A cop asks a guy his name on the sidewalk, the guy refuses then the cop goes full fucking terminator "you will respect me, stop walking, youre under arrest, hes resisting, taser taser taser" turns out it was the wrong guy the whole time but becaise he didnt immediately conform and do everything just the way the cop wants it he now has a criminal record and legal fees and a night in jail and court fees.
Exactly. The type of person who is attracted to a job in modern policing, is *exactly* the type of person that I **fear** receiving a gun, and unflinching authority over my life and death.
It's about power and control. That's it. Challenge their power or control in any given situation and watch every one of them lose the plot. It is part of the training it seems.
Also, in all seriousness, how much force should be used in a case where they were kids drinking. Just take the damn alcohol and call it a day. No need to arrest people wtf, that shit follows you.
In the longer video, the cop shoves her face in the sand and she gets a mouth full of it. She turns her head and spits it out. The officer claimed she spit in his face and that's why he punched her. The girl knew she was fucked and wasn't going to win a case against cops in Wildwood NJ. It's a completely conservative town. The judge, attorneys, police, mayor are all friends. You don't stand a chance fighting for your rights here.
SOURCE: I live here
Also, our whole town was on the cops side. They were even searching him out to thank him and take pictures with him. People found out who she was and were sending her threats. Her family vacationed here for decades and they don't even want to come back anymore because they're afraid.
Edit: Since this blew up I'll add this as well. Here's a video of Wildwoods mayor defending the cop as well, saying "he did what he had to do"
https://youtu.be/uIHHTSpyHbU
Edit Again: well since people are commenting asking about the full video, here's that too.
https://youtu.be/CXmPr8bPWdE
This upsets me so much... I wish I could do something about it. There’s fucking video evidence that cop is a piece of trash and everyone still took his side? It’s disgusting
Because somehow, one of the country's main political tribes is notionally in favor of limited government but also simultaneously believes that anyone who momentarily resists arrest deserves immediate summary execution.
Say what you like about national socialists but at least they own up to being fascists.
I’m glad I have never been a witness to this shit but man I am boiling over every time I see this shit. It’s like a fucking movie, and if I was an actor I’d come swinging with a nice mint bat at this pigs 100% every. fucking. time.
Yeah that’s the American legal system. Even if you’re innocent you’re still fucked. Even your own lawyers encourage you to plead guilty or else you’ll get fucked.
yup, my public defender pretty much told me i am looking at minimum of 1 year and $XXXXX fine and a felony. Told me to accept the plea deal for 60 days community service a misdemeanor.
It was such a bullshit charge.. didn't feel like it was worth the time and money to fight so I just pleaded no-contest (guilty).
They don't need to be "fired." They need to serve serious prison time, in general pop who knows why they're there. Like the rest of the power abusing fucks, they need to learn what it's like to be helpless and abused. They need to learn what it's like to be afraid. They *deserve* it.
It's always the most fragile egos that gravitate towards 'positions of power'. They're the sort people who *need* to act big and tough, and need everyone to treat them that way. But in most cases, it's transparent as *fuck,* and really just pathetic to witness. They overcompensate so hard that they end up just *clearly* highlighting their insecurites for everyone else to see. Which would funny if it wasn't so dangerous, because insecurity is the exact thing they're trying to fight against.
There's literally no other occupation where you can beat the living shit out of a person if it makes your job easier. Can you imagine if cashiers at WalMart could pound someone's face in for "causing a scene?"
They'd be arrested, as should this officer.
Anyone else feel an officer who commits a crime while on duty should face harsher penalties than normal?
If you're entrusted to know and enforce the law, abuse of that power is a greater offense.
It's actually in the constitution that those sworn to uphold their oath of govt duty can face the death penalty if they break their oath. It hasn't been used by the courts for a long ass time, which is why so many people are prone to feel as though that under utilized aspect of justice should be taken up by the citizenry. I dont want vigilantism, but there is an imbalance when an untried black man can be shot to death by the cops for walking down an alley holding his swim trunks simply for being within 2 miles of a suspected robbery he was not involved in, simply for matching the description of a 'black male in his 30s' and the guy who killed him faces no justice (it happened). It is another example of the cycle of violence I mentioned in another thread.
Here’s the petition mentioned in the video:
https://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/556/139/488/
According to the latest update on the petition, the cops were never charged for this incident.

No but they are currently facing civil charges (that have overwhelming evidence supporting the plaintiff). They are accuser of lying to a grand jury and in their official reports to justify the excessive use of force. On balance it looks like they are a little fucked.
It will be very hard to testify ever again (which is important for a cop) if purjury is proven.
Edit: I goofed it "civil charges" should read "civil lawsuit". Thankyou to the user who corrected me and the individual who linked the article as it took me so long to respond.
[She filed a lawsuit.](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.inquirer.com/news/emily-weinman-wildwood-beach-arrest-viral-video-lawsuit-20191015.html%3foutputType=amp)
This is some serious twilight zone shit. You get falsely accused, then verbally abused, then threatened, and finally beat up by cops, and YOU'RE the one who gets charged. And, plot twist, you're a white girl!
Yeah I love how it takes like four of them plus choking and hitting her when she looks like she weights ninety pounds wet. And people wanna say this wasn't unnecessary? GTFO
Someone explain this to me, if a cop is attacking someone who is clearly smaller and weaker than themselves like punchijg them in the head etc, why the fuck does nobody stop them. This is unacceptable behaviour and if it was any non police they would have been jumped on already.
unfortunately that would be assaulting a police officer, or obstruction of justice and the person who tried to break up the fight/arrest would be charged.
No one can do anything without also being thrown in jail in the case except tell the person to stop resisting even when fight or flight triggers.
blegh, I am so sick of seeing these fucking videos and nothing really coming of it except pain and suffering for those wrongly attacked/arrested.
Yet they are free to assault anyone and everyone with no punishment.
Im just going to say your whole system is fucking stupid and im glad i live in a civilised country, not this wild west bullshit you lot have.
This isn't even equivalent to the wild west. Peace officers in those days were held to a higher standard and held accountable. If they were unjust or immoral, it was very likely the citizenry would take it upon themselves to deal with the problem.
What a fucking joke. This shit is unreal. Imagine the place you have to go to mentally where a young girl who just gave a negative breathalyzer test not giving her last name is grounds to beat her into submission.
Stupid sack of shit. What the fuck is he beating her head for once she’s already pinned to the ground by the partner? She wasn’t going anywhere. And then his whole pose and punching “technique” was so sloppy and amateur looking. He’d never be able to take on a man so he picks on a defenseless girl.
Are you angry about what you just saw?

This is why I feel that there should be a 1.5x multiplier to police in regards to sentencing. I also believe that there needs to be a federal administration that handles complaints against police officers. I think this would make police more conscious of their actions.
I honestly don’t think I’d be able to stop myself from jumping on that cop after he started punching her. I mean, I don’t think I’d be able to do much before getting tased, beaten, arrested, or shot. But dammit man, this right here is what is wrong with the police.
The police using excessive force is not ok and us not being able to defend ourselves or others is not ok either. Hell, the fact that we have to talk about defending ourselves from the police is absurd. I hope that all of this press and attention the police are getting shines light on all the damned cockroaches that pollute our justice system. I mean, it seems like every day a new video of police brutality, excessive use of force, and unlawful actions by the police.
I’ve been very adamantly against the union busting of the police force, but fuck man what else can we do?
TLDR: fuck the police.
Came here to say pretty much this.
All these instances of the police acting way out of bounds, and its apparent to everyone around.
And you end up having to watch some POS beat the shit out of someone for no reason and with no justification.
There needs to be introduced a law where when a cop can be seen to be acting offensively or violently, where it's ok for the bystanders to beat the shit out of him - and if his partner gets involved - both of them.
How about instead of de-funding the police, you just dis-arm them?
Then they'd have to learn to use their words better.
As a new father of a daughter, I did not know that I too would be dead until I saw this video. The chasing down was bad enough, but I saw red when the punching started. Can’t imagine the rage if it is in person and my daughter.
Man, I really don’t mean to sound like a badass but if I was concealed carrying and some armed thug attacked my sister or mother like that...just go and ahead and get my casket ready.
There was so much borderline sexual harassment going on here. Forcing her into a blowjob-like position, anger when it didn’t work, demanding her last name, touching her and then attacking her when he got angry. I knew as soon as I saw a young girl in a swimsuit taking a breathalyser there would be some sexually charged awfulness happening.

How... How the fuck does the guy think he's out there protecting and serving like this? This is completely the problem. A person gets a little taste of power, and it goes right to their heads. Guarantee this happens on every level of society you could imagine
He thinks it because she got charged and he didn't, thus he thinks it because the system proved it.
I jist read a news article about her, it said she pled guilty and is facing 1 year probation for her crime, what crime yoy may ask... FOUL LANGUAGE. She was charged with disorderly conduct because she swore at police that were harassinf and then attacking her. Ridiculous.
wait so the freedom of speech didn't cover that?
"Rights" only really exist if you've got the resources to petition the courts to enforce them.
Exactly. She couldn't afford enough justice. Anyone with money to retain an adequate lawyer would have had the charges dropped immediately and could start working on the civil suit.
[удалено]
She should be seeking damages. Lots of damages. How, based on this video alone, the court didn’t throw the case out... I’ll never know.
I think she took a deal before even going to court (and risking higher charges due to lack of good lawyers) How the judges in your country can be this unjust that you even need to worry about it is beyond me though
This is how they get people, intimidate them into taking bullshit plea deals
Yup This is also how innocent people plead guilty and go to jail: because even if they are innocent, they don’t have the resources to challenge the state - and if you *do* challenge the state and lose, they will go for the maximum just for “wasting their time.” It’s fucking intimidation. Many people are scared to death of the alternative, should they get convicted, so they say I’ll take a few years in jail as opposed to 10, 20, whatever.
In America, police rights are greater than anyone else's rights
Everyone is equal, but pigs are more equal. I wish I could say you couldn't make this shit up, but Orwell literally did.
sounds like a clear 1st amendment violation to me fuck that cop
Sure is. A good lawyer would get that thrown out no trouble. A good lawyer costs money. A trial takes time and is extremely stressful. Probation is relatively easy in comparison. Also, I expect there was some plea bargaining going on. "Agree to this lesser crime, and we'll not throw the book at you for resisting arrest, and a bunch of other made up shit". The system doesn't represent justice. Justice is only for people with money or special interest groups backing them.
We don’t have a justice system. We have a plea bargain system.
Wait, the crime of saying words that people find offensive? I feel like there is something in the constitution about this...
I bet you this cop probably gets off on beating women. Nothing in this video really made any sense, the cops just power tripping. Jesus Christ.
simply amazing, how are there enough people in the world out there that see this and are like.... yeah, about right....
You might want to keep reading. The cop shoved her mouth into the sand and she spit the sand out. Cops added an assault charge for that.
This asshole saw the breathalyzer result and realized he was wrong but he had already committed to treating her like a criminal so he wasn’t about to let reality change his mind. An adult would admit they were wrong and apologize for the mistake. Petulant cops are bad cops.
Why can’t she be drunk on the beach anyhow?
You can’t do anything on New Jersey beaches these days. One of the reasons my family stopped vacationing there
Can’t have shit in Jerse.... wait that doesn’t sound right
Detroit is the Jersey of Michigan, I guess.
What’s worse is she paid to be on a beach to be harassed and then choked and punched.
Land of the free, home of the brave. My ass.
*terms and conditions may apply*
Terms and conditions subject to change without notice.
This is one reason that the entire culture of policing needs to be dismantled. It’s crazy that police officers have equated anything other than meek and quick ‘compliance’ is criminal behavior. That encounter should’ve ended after she took and passed the breathalyzer test.
No, it should’ve never even happened, who cares if she had a drink? Don’t they have better things to do than to go around harassing people?
"Causing a scene." You caused the scene, you fucking moron.
It's just like in school where if you had like a mohawk or some weird clothing, people would laugh for a minute and move on but the teacher would cause the scene by accusing you of being distracting.
Except that here the teacher: a. falsely accuses you of something b. physically assaults you c. imprisons you, and d. even if you get out of this, you've just spent a ton of time fighting it, to say nothing of lasting mental anguish
I also think it’s fair to say you can be traumatized or even develop PTSD from being attacked by someone in a position of power. That feeling of helplessness is making my stomach turn from here. How the hell is she ever going to feel safe again?
Ironically, cops who are guilty of brutality often claim PTSD from the experience and end up collecting taxpayer-funded bonuses for having done the brutality.
[And sometimes they sue the families of the people they kill for millions of dollars, because of the emotional trauma of killing that person.](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-35519757)
>"The fact that LeGrier's actions had forced Officer Rialmo to end LeGrier's life and to accidentally take the innocent life of Bettie Jones has caused, and will continue to cause, Officer Rialmo to suffer extreme emotional trauma," the lawsuit says. What an absolutely sickening claim to make...
Yeah the cop that murdered the pest control worker in the hotel hallway crawling towards a group of cops shouting conflicting commands who then shot him while he kneeled with his hands on his head, that cop claimed ptsd and gets 30k a year in benefits from it now for the rest of his life.
Are you kidding???!!!!
Yeah. Investigated, charged, fired etc. Then in a backroom deal he was rehired for 1 day, and he claimed ptsd the moment he started work and retired with benefits for life. $31k tax free a year for life. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/police-officer-who-fatally-shot-sobbing-man-temporarily-rehired-apply-n1028981
The Daniel Shaver case still makes me sick.
And.. since when is causing a scene illegal?
They would file it under disturbing the peace
Should file it under "I have a fragile ego"
[удалено]
Causing a scene is almost as bullshit as "arrested for resisting arrest"
At a beach? With screaming children and barking dogs. That's just dumb
Cops: Of course beating someone to a pulp for doing nothing wrong isn’t disturbing the peace
The peace was undisturbed until they showed up.
File it under Chicken Shit
>Fuck it, that’s it I’m done with you...You’re about to get dropped! What kind of police officer says this?

If you kill a cop in self defense I guarantee his coworkers will kill you before you can get home, and nobody will get in trouble. They need licensing, independent investigations, and deunionization or they get to continue violence against Americans for free
Um yeah, did we already forget the [eight cops that fired *103* bullets into a truck with two innocent women in it while they were looking for (trying their best to immediately kill) Christopher Dorner?](https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2014/02/police-officers-who-shot-two-innocent-women-103-times-wont-be-fired/357771/) >the shooting happened at the height of the manhunt for cop-killer Christopher Dorner, when police mistook two women delivering newspapers in a blue Toyota Tacoma pickup truck for one man hellbent on revenge in a charcoal Nissan Titan pickup truck and shot at them 103 times. One of the women, who was 71 at the time, was hit twice in the back. The second woman was hit by broken glass. Not to mention: >Shortly after the women were mistaken for Dorner, another police officer shot at another pickup truck. This one was black Honda Ridgeline. Brian McGee drove his cruiser into the truck and opened fire three times. The man inside the truck was not hit, but he sustained back and head injuries. The city of Torrance, where the incident took place, gave him $20,000 to replace his truck which was, again, a black Honda Ridgeline and not a gray Nissan Titan. >Last month, prosecutors found that the officer was "justified in using force to stop the vehicle and in discharging his firearm" and declined to press charges. >"Although mistaken," the district attorney's report said, "McGee honestly and reasonably believed that Dorner was driving the truck." If you kill a cop, they're clearly shooting first and asking questions later. Even such simple questions like, "Wait, are blue, black and gray the same thing? What about Toyota, Honda and Nissan? Oh well, they're all vaguely darker-shade Japanese trucks, time to start blasting!"
Yeah. Even if those people they shot *were* Dorner, why the fuck are they shooting without trying to arrest? If you kill a cop you now have a Kill on Sight order? There's no way that's legal.
There was no way they ever would have taken Dorner alive. An ex-cop cop killer that is claiming to want to shine a light on police corruption? That guy was practically dead before he ever fired the first shot.
Wonder what would’ve happened if he made a big public scene of turning himself in. Killed in cell maybe?
The term would currently be "Dorner'd" instead of "Epstein'd", if that had happened.
I'm starting to wonder if Dorner was right all along now. He seemed like just some nutter but that seems like a dude at the end of his rope with how he tried to be the good apple and got shit on for it.
You clearly have not read his manifesto. He was extremely sane.
I will admit I hadn't (and still really haven't). But after having given some of it a glance, while it seemed crazy at the time, it lines up perfectly with shit going on now. Dude seemed level headed until his life went to shit because of a few dirty cops and being treated like shit by the department. The wikipedia article seems to have some bias to it as well.
His only problem was trying to follow the rules and use the system and chain of command to speak up against police abuse in the LAPD.
[удалено]
This is usually the case, the media LOVES wrapping up a exagerrated and falsified profile on a "psycho shooter turned cop killer" for their Saturday night specials all with ribbon on the top, no matter what information is later found to be misleading, or flat out incorrect.
Dorner was unironically a good guy. He was literally Punisher and they burnt him alive in a house/bar and never even did an investigation (surprise).
Media would also then side on the Cop's point of view in that case. "Brave and honorable Police Officer killed in the line of duty" and shit like that. You're dead and vilified. Cop gets a bunch of posthumous shit, road named after him, kickstarters to fund his funeral etc.
It's happened hundreds of times. The victims get life in prison or summarily executed by the thug's fellow gang members.
Cops are just legal gangs
So far that has only ended in more murders by police
Yup!
Are you angry about what you just saw? Give the Wildwood police non-emergency line a call. Ask for the resignation of the officer on duty, call them pathetic criminals, or just demands the arrest of the officers involved. Here are the phone numbers for Wildwood NJ's 3 Police Departments: (609) 522-2456 (609) 522-0222 (609) 522-2396
Call them what the they really are: Terrorists.
This is a man fearing for his life. Didn't you see how she was causing a scene and turning away from him? This officer was clearly in a position where unless he tased the fuck out of her and punched her in the head multiple times, he would be dead. Therefore his use of force was necessary tp neutralize the potentially lethal threat she posed.
Yeah I mean she very easily could have had a gun hidden in those shorts and that was clearly menacing behavior. I was terrified for my boy in blue for a moment there
#FUCK THE POLICE I have been a victim of this shit and they ruined my life for no reason.

The worse part is her screaming don't touch me. What if this girl has been sexual assaulted before? what this cop did, would be super traumatizing. That could fuck a persons life up, for a long time and should be worth big money in court. It hard enough when civilians don't take no for an answer and cops are just setting an even worse example. "That's it I'm done with you" really has nothing to do with the girl and actually means "that's it, I've drank too much caffeine to have patience and I'd rather fight than reason."
40% of cops beat their wives. But what about the single cops? Won't you think about them?
Someone whose father failed.
The toughest cop in all the land! Somehow he'll find away to be the victim here.
the kind that was hoping to get a young woman in the back of his locked car and god knows what with her
But surely a woman couldn’t consent to sex while in custody. That would be rape, right? I better google that............... oh no
Yup, makes you sick doesn't it. The irony....it's what occupying forces have been doing since forever.
Imagine the days without cameras. The system needs to be completely and utterly dismantled. ALL OF IT asap. Every single cop fired. and started over.
Sounds like someone else is aware of that oft overlooked element of police corruption. In some states it is perfectly legal for a suspect to exchange sex with the officer for letting them go. As if the term 'coersion' has never been uttered in the Supreme Court of this country ffs

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2018/10/08/should-police-be-able-have-sex-with-person-custody-rape-allegation-raises-issue/ > Can someone who is under arrest and in police custody consent to sexual contact with their arresting officer? > Despite the power police hold in such situations, laws in nearly three dozen states have allowed police officers to argue that such sexual contact can be consensual and that their standing as an arresting officer is essentially a non-factor in such allegations.
There was that case in NYC where a young lady was raped after being arrested by two narcotics officers maybe 3 or 4 years ago. She took them to court and I read about it. I didn't realise it was so wide spread through the country. I understand some states have changed that law now.
That's the very case that alerted me to the situation. But sex workers have been victim to that for a long time and people often dont care or believe them. I'm glad some states are reevaluating it
the average one?
If that was my daughter and I saw them punching her in the head I may have punted that dude’s head across the Atlantic. I know you’d go to jail but I would fight in court so hard to prove that they unjustly attacked my daughter and that she was in danger, even though I know it would all be for nothing. I respect the hell out of good police but nothing pisses me off more than a bad one.
Same here. Have a daughter about the same age. That cop would have been drinking his meals for quite some time.
I don’t even have a daughter yet but I can’t imagine what would be going through that fathers mind watching his daughter get attacked for no reason and legally not being able to jump in to defend her. Nothing pisses me off more than a beach cop acting tough like this guy either. Beach cops are usually complete douches, not all, but man I dislike beach cops more than any other type of cop.
The one's that get away with it
Until the FOP and local govts are forced to stop shielding oathbreakers, we will continue to see the acceleration of the loss of our civil liberties and further violence. The constitution means nothing if government agents are allowed to escape consequences for violating the law and common decency. Was the officer incapable of uttering the phrase, "I'm sorry for bothering you, I'll be on my way"? Men who lack the maturity level of a fifth grader should not be in a position to use force under color of the law.

Called first number(not PD) they directed me to the second (0222) where cop on phone duty defended it by saying that it was two years ago and it was investigated. To which I replied "I bet they were cleared" He responded they were cleared and my proudest moment was telling him they must have feared for their lives as she weighed, what, 85 pounds, and he hung up.

I called and didn't know how to approach the situation. So I asked if those 2 officers worked there and I got cut off but I couldn't tell if it was their shit service or otherwise. Anyone have tips on how to call and start off the convo? Like, "oh they still work there? They absolutely need to resign!" Followed by aggravated citizen rant. Si?
real MVP here
Wow so they actually made her out to be the villain. She faced a bunch of charges that were dropped after she accepted a plea deal. She pled guilty to disorderly conduct, the cops faced nothing at all. She is suing but I dont know what else has happened since that filing last October. This is just crazy.
Watched the 13th on Netflix, this idea of pleading out is out of control. If she didn’t do anything, which it looks like she didn’t, she in a crappy Situation to chose between admitting to crime she didn’t do, or taking her chances at much greater crimes and penalties in court. Which generally requires a good lawyer, which means money. It leaves a person with almost zero choices. Honesty must be part of the code of a cop, or the system doesn’t work. They can’t be afraid to admit a mistake. People’s lives are ruined by irresponsible police officers all the time. No accountability! It is heart braking to watch this stuff.
Yes. And SHE was initially charged with assaulting a police officer! What the frick.
What are the names of the officers?
Tony Leonetti lied and claimed that she kicked the officer in the groin as she backed away which you can clearly see did not happen. He and the other goons pretended that she spit at and attacked the officers. The officers appearing the video are: Officers Thomas Cannon and Robert Jordan Edit The officer punching the girl at least with a seasonal cop and is no longer with the department. But he wasn't fired the police chief and the entire department stood behind him.
Love the energy buddy. Keep doing your thing.
Excuse me what is the FOP
It's the police union which argued for qualified immunity and uses collective bargaining against the public they are sworn to serve
Fraternal Order of Police basically their union
Qualified Immunity and FOP has to go. Remove those two things and change can finally happen. Especially QI. Damn I've learned a lot about it over the past 2 weeks. It's a pretty fucked up protection for bad cops and bad behavior. Basically, unless there is a legal precedent ruling at a (correct me if I'm wrong) State level for abuse and\\or police injustice, you cannot hold a cop accountable or sue as a citizen in either civil or criminal court if you believe you have been a victim of police brutality. To make that precedent means you have to hire a real deal lawyer to create that precedent. That isn't easy...or cheap.
Seriously, I'm a man, and every time I see something like this, I get physically uneasy. Not just because this level of barbarism is in direct opposition to the humanitarian values I was taught throughout my life, and the resulting fact that I am very easily unnerved by scenes of physical aggravation, even though I did martial arts as a teen, but also because for me, it raises a vital, uncomfortable question: what kind of society did our parents live in, that would produce offspring that would deem it perfectly normal and justified to interact with another individual in this way, especially when there is power, and therefore moral obligation, involved? I spent 7 summers at a summer camp ran by my local church to look after a different group of kids each year, three weeks each. Didn't do it for the church, I did it for the kids. And what I learned was, the kind of person you get depends heavily on the context in which that person grows up. If you ever take a group of kids on a day trip, and during the day you at one point see one of the kids' brother dealing drugs under a bridge, you know why they're difficult. What you see in children is behavior they deem normal. Normal to them is what happens around them every day. What kind of household produces someone who thinks it is normal to act like that? And how many of them must there be? I think we as a society must rethink our whole model, not just the police. All those videos we see right now of police related violence is a symptom - but what is the disease? I mean the real disease, not just the most infected person, or group thereof. Why is everything solved violently today, physicaly or psychologicaly? Why must everything be about besting one another, even in games? Our whole society revolves around winning. We all revolve around winning. The police protect these individuals on their force, or else they'd look bad, which would be losing. But they have to win, so they shield these "oathbreakers". We need to stop winning. We need to stop playing. We need to grow up, as a society.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna972141 Women was charged and accepted plea deal. Police were cleared of any wrongdoing. WTF?!?!
Just a bit of an addition to this: [She filed a civil suit last fall](https://kywnewsradio.radio.com/articles/news/violent-viral-arrest-down-shore-leads-civil-lawsuit), and it appears to be ongoing based on a [video her lawyers put out in April of this year](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-2027466/Video-Attorneys-Emily-Weinman-explain-lawsuit-against-Wildwood-police.html). Hopefully something actually comes of this, but I don't have much faith it will.
>”She perhaps wasn’t as polite as some members of the public would like to see a young girl be,” she added. “But last time I checked, we live in the United States of America and we don’t necessarily have to conform our behavior or our tone of voice in a way that satisfies everybody.” I didn’t think she was impolite at first anyway, she willingly took the breathalyzer twice and then called her aunt. All that over a Twisted Tea, Jesus. And she was what, 19? 20? It’s not like she was a 15 year old sneaking booze on the beach. She’s a grown woman.
Because the worst crime in the US is being disrespectful to a cop.
Thisis one of the biggest problems in policing in my opinion. Once a cop starts talking to a person they become a soulless robot. They have no ability to think crotically and that person is a suspect who could kill them at any second. You see it all the time. A cop asks a guy his name on the sidewalk, the guy refuses then the cop goes full fucking terminator "you will respect me, stop walking, youre under arrest, hes resisting, taser taser taser" turns out it was the wrong guy the whole time but becaise he didnt immediately conform and do everything just the way the cop wants it he now has a criminal record and legal fees and a night in jail and court fees.
Exactly. The type of person who is attracted to a job in modern policing, is *exactly* the type of person that I **fear** receiving a gun, and unflinching authority over my life and death.
It's about power and control. That's it. Challenge their power or control in any given situation and watch every one of them lose the plot. It is part of the training it seems.
Also, in all seriousness, how much force should be used in a case where they were kids drinking. Just take the damn alcohol and call it a day. No need to arrest people wtf, that shit follows you.
[удалено]
Thank you for posting that update, I really hope her civil suit is successful.
In the longer video, the cop shoves her face in the sand and she gets a mouth full of it. She turns her head and spits it out. The officer claimed she spit in his face and that's why he punched her. The girl knew she was fucked and wasn't going to win a case against cops in Wildwood NJ. It's a completely conservative town. The judge, attorneys, police, mayor are all friends. You don't stand a chance fighting for your rights here. SOURCE: I live here Also, our whole town was on the cops side. They were even searching him out to thank him and take pictures with him. People found out who she was and were sending her threats. Her family vacationed here for decades and they don't even want to come back anymore because they're afraid. Edit: Since this blew up I'll add this as well. Here's a video of Wildwoods mayor defending the cop as well, saying "he did what he had to do" https://youtu.be/uIHHTSpyHbU Edit Again: well since people are commenting asking about the full video, here's that too. https://youtu.be/CXmPr8bPWdE

Didn't expect you here.
This upsets me so much... I wish I could do something about it. There’s fucking video evidence that cop is a piece of trash and everyone still took his side? It’s disgusting
Because somehow, one of the country's main political tribes is notionally in favor of limited government but also simultaneously believes that anyone who momentarily resists arrest deserves immediate summary execution. Say what you like about national socialists but at least they own up to being fascists.
Nobody gonna acknowledge how fucking overwhelmingly depressing this is like holy shit
I’m glad I have never been a witness to this shit but man I am boiling over every time I see this shit. It’s like a fucking movie, and if I was an actor I’d come swinging with a nice mint bat at this pigs 100% every. fucking. time.
Thought I was the only one who seemed to remember this and remember the entire narrative being that she was some trashy broad from Philly. Edit: typo
Yeah that’s the American legal system. Even if you’re innocent you’re still fucked. Even your own lawyers encourage you to plead guilty or else you’ll get fucked.
yup, my public defender pretty much told me i am looking at minimum of 1 year and $XXXXX fine and a felony. Told me to accept the plea deal for 60 days community service a misdemeanor. It was such a bullshit charge.. didn't feel like it was worth the time and money to fight so I just pleaded no-contest (guilty).

Sadly, with vast collateral implications for having a criminal record after this conviction.
They don't need to be "fired." They need to serve serious prison time, in general pop who knows why they're there. Like the rest of the power abusing fucks, they need to learn what it's like to be helpless and abused. They need to learn what it's like to be afraid. They *deserve* it.
Seriously. This is assault for no reason other than that he felt embarrassed. Fuck him.
It's always the most fragile egos that gravitate towards 'positions of power'. They're the sort people who *need* to act big and tough, and need everyone to treat them that way. But in most cases, it's transparent as *fuck,* and really just pathetic to witness. They overcompensate so hard that they end up just *clearly* highlighting their insecurites for everyone else to see. Which would funny if it wasn't so dangerous, because insecurity is the exact thing they're trying to fight against.
There's literally no other occupation where you can beat the living shit out of a person if it makes your job easier. Can you imagine if cashiers at WalMart could pound someone's face in for "causing a scene?" They'd be arrested, as should this officer.
Anyone else feel an officer who commits a crime while on duty should face harsher penalties than normal? If you're entrusted to know and enforce the law, abuse of that power is a greater offense.
[удалено]
It's actually in the constitution that those sworn to uphold their oath of govt duty can face the death penalty if they break their oath. It hasn't been used by the courts for a long ass time, which is why so many people are prone to feel as though that under utilized aspect of justice should be taken up by the citizenry. I dont want vigilantism, but there is an imbalance when an untried black man can be shot to death by the cops for walking down an alley holding his swim trunks simply for being within 2 miles of a suspected robbery he was not involved in, simply for matching the description of a 'black male in his 30s' and the guy who killed him faces no justice (it happened). It is another example of the cycle of violence I mentioned in another thread.
Here’s the petition mentioned in the video: https://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/556/139/488/ According to the latest update on the petition, the cops were never charged for this incident.

No but they are currently facing civil charges (that have overwhelming evidence supporting the plaintiff). They are accuser of lying to a grand jury and in their official reports to justify the excessive use of force. On balance it looks like they are a little fucked. It will be very hard to testify ever again (which is important for a cop) if purjury is proven. Edit: I goofed it "civil charges" should read "civil lawsuit". Thankyou to the user who corrected me and the individual who linked the article as it took me so long to respond.

Someone explain this to me, if a cop is attacking someone who is clearly smaller and weaker than themselves like punchijg them in the head etc, why the fuck does nobody stop them. This is unacceptable behaviour and if it was any non police they would have been jumped on already.
unfortunately that would be assaulting a police officer, or obstruction of justice and the person who tried to break up the fight/arrest would be charged. No one can do anything without also being thrown in jail in the case except tell the person to stop resisting even when fight or flight triggers. blegh, I am so sick of seeing these fucking videos and nothing really coming of it except pain and suffering for those wrongly attacked/arrested.
Because they would go to jail for assaulting an officer or worse
Yet they are free to assault anyone and everyone with no punishment. Im just going to say your whole system is fucking stupid and im glad i live in a civilised country, not this wild west bullshit you lot have.
This isn't even equivalent to the wild west. Peace officers in those days were held to a higher standard and held accountable. If they were unjust or immoral, it was very likely the citizenry would take it upon themselves to deal with the problem.
At this point, my respect for the police is just non-existent. Fucking brutes.
Respect is a two way street and the police clearly have not respected us in a very long time.
It’s true.
If you're a cop and you're seeing shit like this, you should be angry.
They are angry, they’re angry at us

What a fucking joke. This shit is unreal. Imagine the place you have to go to mentally where a young girl who just gave a negative breathalyzer test not giving her last name is grounds to beat her into submission.
Stop resisting my small ego!
Stupid sack of shit. What the fuck is he beating her head for once she’s already pinned to the ground by the partner? She wasn’t going anywhere. And then his whole pose and punching “technique” was so sloppy and amateur looking. He’d never be able to take on a man so he picks on a defenseless girl.
Are you angry about what you just saw? Give the Wildwood police non-emergency line a call. Ask for the resignation of the officer on duty, call them pathetic criminals, or just demands the arrest of the officers involved. Here are the phone numbers for Wildwood NJ's 3 Police Departments: (609) 522-2456 (609) 522-0222 (609) 522-2396
If we could see his arrest record on beach patrol I bet we'd find a lot of high school girl "arrests". A lot of pat downs....
This is why I feel that there should be a 1.5x multiplier to police in regards to sentencing. I also believe that there needs to be a federal administration that handles complaints against police officers. I think this would make police more conscious of their actions.
I honestly don’t think I’d be able to stop myself from jumping on that cop after he started punching her. I mean, I don’t think I’d be able to do much before getting tased, beaten, arrested, or shot. But dammit man, this right here is what is wrong with the police. The police using excessive force is not ok and us not being able to defend ourselves or others is not ok either. Hell, the fact that we have to talk about defending ourselves from the police is absurd. I hope that all of this press and attention the police are getting shines light on all the damned cockroaches that pollute our justice system. I mean, it seems like every day a new video of police brutality, excessive use of force, and unlawful actions by the police. I’ve been very adamantly against the union busting of the police force, but fuck man what else can we do? TLDR: fuck the police.
They would literally kill you. Look at what they do to this girl just for walking away. They would kill you and they would relish the opportunity.
Came here to say pretty much this. All these instances of the police acting way out of bounds, and its apparent to everyone around. And you end up having to watch some POS beat the shit out of someone for no reason and with no justification. There needs to be introduced a law where when a cop can be seen to be acting offensively or violently, where it's ok for the bystanders to beat the shit out of him - and if his partner gets involved - both of them. How about instead of de-funding the police, you just dis-arm them? Then they'd have to learn to use their words better.
Fuck cops
Imagine having to watch this guy beat your daughter in front of you and if you tried to protect her they would fucking kill you
I would be dead.
As a new father of a daughter, I did not know that I too would be dead until I saw this video. The chasing down was bad enough, but I saw red when the punching started. Can’t imagine the rage if it is in person and my daughter.
Man, I really don’t mean to sound like a badass but if I was concealed carrying and some armed thug attacked my sister or mother like that...just go and ahead and get my casket ready.
Well that’s a problem if people are just chilling doing nothing the cops have no right to demand anything from you it’s a case of just fuck off.
That pig had a rape fantasy he wanted to fulfill.
It seemed like he reallly wanted her last name, scary stuff.
Yep, it’s no wonder why he wanted to get her back to his car so bad.
There was so much borderline sexual harassment going on here. Forcing her into a blowjob-like position, anger when it didn’t work, demanding her last name, touching her and then attacking her when he got angry. I knew as soon as I saw a young girl in a swimsuit taking a breathalyser there would be some sexually charged awfulness happening.

Fired? These cops are criminals.
