That right there was one trashy bitch who deserved a good wake up call in life


It's the cops job to administer those wake up calls eh?

By slamming her face into concrete when she was no threat to anyone?

Based on her actions, cops were called, and that's when they became the ones to administer the wake up call...he didn't slam her face into the ground....she resisted arrest and got dealt with accordingly. If you're going to resist arrest, expect that there will be more force coming back your way...she could have had the hand cuffs placed on her while standing....she chose the option to taste concrete. Also, she had a free hand and was apparently so drunk she could not catch herself from a face plant... And then her pathetic trashy cries, "I hope you rot in hell.". And the attempt to spit at him later....lol stupid bitch acted even bitchier and trashier after she got handled...she's not going to get paid shite....any sensible judge would dismiss that lawsuit with the quickness.

She's going to end up in jail regardless, the resisting arrest alone will give her jail time.

He never cared about the truth. He went in to it assuming her guilt & every question was condescending. Terrible cop.

Pussy Privilege with a partial win. The state of Arizona will settle the case with a pay-out to her. Maybe not huge, but, she will get paid.

She's 36. She's running out of time. Her Sexual Market Value is rapidly declining and that's all she has. So, she's really going to need the money.

I’d mostly agree.

There’s two issues at play here that I see:

One: Do you think the police should have the authority to detain someone that they’re not ready to arrest for a particular crime? I’m going to lean more towards no. As that would apply in this case, I would’ve preferred he be more straightforward and tell her “ma’am, I need you to stand up and put your hands behind your back because I’m placing you under arrest for the crime of (whatever).” I’m not a fan of chatting her up for five minutes and casually saying “I’m about to put you in handcuffs.” Either you’re going to deny someone their freedom and arrest them for a specific crime or they should be free to leave. I think if you’re not ready to arrest, and they’re not a threat, then you shouldn’t be ready to get physical with someone to simply detain them.

Two: How he/they acted towards her. I’d say it appears that he may have allowed her too much rope and that could be why she ‘resisted’? Maybe this should be a good teaching opportunity to the force on how to better handle such a situation, but I wouldn’t say that anyone should be censured for their actions. My objection is mainly to the procedure and not to the officer’s handling of this particular situation; if anything, he was too nice in the beginning.



But in the eyes of a jury it’s not going to play well that they showed zero compassion to a lady profusely bleeding. Head injuries, even minor ones, bleed a lot, but most of the public are going to be shocked to see that much blood coming for someone in such a short amount of time. The police initially seemed like they didn’t even notice it, which we know they did, but it’ll appear to the layman that she’s being denied medical attention.

Add to that the fact that this was younger lady who was just a little drunk and didn’t commit a violent crime ... I think she gets paid. Not saying I agree with it, but her story IMO will play well with the jury.

Nah, DA can proceed regardless and given the potential fallout in the civil action that no doubt was being discussed as a potential upcoming problem for the officer, department, city, etc....not a chance they voluntarily cede that arrow in the quiver to a plaintiff in that situation.

You proceed anyway, call the victim to the stand, if he doesn't appear or is uncooperative, well then at least the DA pursued a case that they deemed justified.

No case because there was no burglary or attempt of burglary.

36 is a "younger lady"?

She’s not going to jail.

Why exactly was he putting her in cuffs in the first place? Seems like that situation went from 1–100mph in the blink of an eye.

Why was she being arrested? Is it because people said she was breaking in to the ex’s truck?

Well you dont need a thumbs up or down from a victim for an arrest to be made. The arrest report would go to the DA's office wherein an independent assessment is then made to either file a bill of information with the court reflecting the exact charges the officer booked the defendant on, or the DA can add charges, or decline some charges but keep some, or decline all charges.

Although a victim can request charges be dropped, the ultimate decision is reserved by the DA, who is the representative of "the people" or "the state" i.e. State of XYZ versus Defendant, as opposed to Victim versus Defendant.

***And it was apparent the cuffs were going on during the active conversation about burglary, pre-efforts to leave and pre-scuffle. I would hope the officer followed through with booking on the alleged crime for which the cuffs were going on.
