re: Cops refuse woman a ride. 13 mins later she's dead.

Isnt there a law for public drunkenness? Someone must have already had a situation with her and called for the cops. She should have been arrested and removed from this situation. Those cops are dumb as hell

Juat like when I tell my kids they spend more time arguing than doing their chores. What a couple of chumps.

The reason this is popping back up, is because the state is filing a criminal complaint and the county is asking for a review of their police licenses. Hearing scheduled for February.

Not that it necessarily matters, but the woman, Anders, was actually the suspect of a domestic violence call earlier that night, not the victim, according to a complaint filed in the county. Obviously, that doesn’t mean much, as these officers had no way of knowing that since it wasn’t filed yet. But their arguments are a little wrong.

She was visibly drunk, which they are arguing she wasn’t, so they couldn’t arrest her.

They could have still called an ambulance, even if she refused.

They could have taken her to a hospital themselves.

Lot gone wrong here. I think these cops are Pieces of shite, but I don’t think there will end up being a significant punishment if anything at all. Maybe a written reprimand and some “retraining” BS.

Horrible situation that too many people will have to live with the rest of their lives. Her whole family, the truck driver, and yes, even the two officers.

In a time where cops are being thrown in jail for doing their job you expect them to go above and beyond?

dafuq outta here.

I wonder how long he has been a LEO? Cause you know all the cops that left the job rather than be thrown under the bus by political motivated hacks running the departments around the country have been replaced with thugs and degenerates that would have been rejected about 10 years ago but now they need to fill out rosters because of attrition.

Admittedly, Like 5 seconds of it. Once I saw the format and the 25min length, I dipped out.

That being said, this is a selectively edited and commentated video by a YouTube poster named "the civil rights lawyer" whose income is based in part on making police officers look bad and suing the government for his own financial benefit. Ironically, people like him are part of the reason policies are in place not to give rides. If they were to get in a wreck or go over a bump and hit her head, he'd probably be beating down her door to sue. Also, the average citizen doesn't realize how much BS cops hear on a daily basis across America. You're seeing one 15-minute interaction of the tens of thousands of similar interactions across America every day. This one happened to end poorly.

To the first half - she was begging for help and refused. The only way a civil rights lawyer gets involved in any of your made up scenarios is if she’s asking them to leave and they force her into a hold…. And given her state I think you’d be hard pressed to find one to take that case


They spent 20 minutes debating giving her a literal 2 minute drive that didn’t seem to be against policy

Spread over tens of thousands of incidents daily those saved minutes just doing the right thing instead of hassling for ID incessantly in many of the interactions could really help with both the man power shortage and perception of police, eh?

That’s the best way to race to a post that’s counter to the 90% agreement on the other side of the issue

When the modern bureaucratic “ these are the rules “ mindset overwhelms the “ my brother’s keeper “ protect and serve ideal, this is what happens.

Too many rules , too many rigid protocols, etc are a nice excuse people use in modern society to turn their back on others. It’s good to leave a little room for humans to be humans.

Thank lawyers for this shite.

She was beat up and the officers noted that in the video…she explained how he took her phone and other items. She can’t move the shoulder anymore. She has head wounds that the OFFICER points out so I think a concussion could be in the cards pretty easily.

They left an “intoxicated” VICTIM in the road, not a drunk person. She claims no alcohol and says she got out of the hospital. Tells a pretty coherent story for what she’s trying to flee. I don’t see them do anything to confirm her intoxication.

I don’t know whether they’re legally responsible or not. They’re crappy people for sure though to not bring her 2 miles to the gas station.

Also, when the people who are supposed to care, tell you to go F off, and you’re sitting at the edge of a cliff already mentally…maybe you sit in the middle of a road and check out. Hopeless.
