Perhaps if she didn't shoplift, this wouldn't have happened...

quote:

A California woman whose scalp was ripped open by a police dog filed a lawsuit claiming police officers used excessive force by allowing the German Shepard to maul her for several minutes even after she begged them to call off the animal.
quote:

Talmika Bates said she was paralyzed with fear as a K9 named “Marco” continued to chew on her scalp during the Feb. 10, 2020 shoplifting arrest,
quote:

Brentwood Police Officer Ryan Rezentes had to physically remove the dog’s grip from Bates’ scalp after the dog refused to listen to commands at least twice.
quote:

The terrifying incident was captured by officers’ body-worn cameras and released by Bates’ attorneys. Bates can be heard screaming in a field among some bushes where she was hiding when the K-9 caught her and gripped her by her scalp.
quote:

“My whole brain almost fell out,” Bates said in an interview. “I’m supposed to be dead right now, not alive, and I’m just thankful.
quote:

She added she feels “ugly” and “no longer cute” because of her physical wounds.

Her whole brain almost fell out. That is rich. Like there is a brain in there anyway.

I've been bitten by a dog and it hurt like hell. I can't even imagine her pain. Shouldn't have shoplifted.

Her brain didn’t almost fall out. People are way too dramatic.

If a K9 was called for your dumb arse, you did something really stupid for the dog to get called for officers to come arrested you

To be fair that is ridiculously excessive for a woman shoplifting

You run from the cops, they WILL bring an arse whipping with them.

Justified? Probably not to this degree. But a crook who runs and hides from the cop to where they have to send dogs after her needs to know that those dogs don’t play.

Don't disagree. Still, doesn't happen if she doesn't do it.

Oh frick off. There is no way, at this point, to know if the police “allowed” this to happen or let the dog chew on her “excessively”. For all we know, the first place the dog latched on to her was her nappy head and- yeah- her scalp was torn off.
Tough shite.
Don’t shoplift and don’t run from the police.
Sorry he didn’t bite her leg instead of her head, but shite happens when you’re a criminal and evading the police.
