She says she went over and talked to officers, whom she says admitted confusion, claiming they thought White was coming at them, fist clenched, not running to them for help.
So, from that it looks like the cops thought she was going to attack them.
Some poster said this story is over a month old and why now is it in Seattle news?
Yeah, I've heard that many times...About peoples pets too.
Two fully trained, fully armed male cops and an unarmed woman waving her arms or making a fist...Electrocute the hag!
She's lucky she wasn't using cane to walk...She'd be in the morgue.
My advise is to avoid calling the local government for help, it at all possible. No joke.
At its most fundamental level, police do not work for the citizenry; they work for government; local, state or feral (spelling intentional). As a group, they protect themselves first and foremost. As a group, they protect those who hired them and sign their paychecks next.
Where it still exists, "to serve and to protect" needs to be painted over.
Yes, I know there are still some good ones, but you can't tell the difference by looking.
Anybody or any animal approaching a cop in any manner other than in submission will be shot. Period.
So tell me, why do they carry batons and pepper spray etc?
You're comments are a joke. No offense.
Why don't cops shoot everyone at those at violent protests, throwing crap at them, as they approach in a threatening manner?
Too funny!
You should stay away from crime threads.
“Yeah, in an earlier post on police misconduct someone said that we need to separate the decent cops from the scum.”
Comes from poor training. Seems in some cities anyone can slip through the police academy these days regardless of how poorly qualified they are.
Sarcasm.
Oh, my apologies...Ya just never know anymore.
It’s not what you know but who you know. You can have the IQ of a gnat and still get a city or county job if you know the right people. That doesn’t have any effect on the quality of the product or service though ( /sarc)
TWO PHYSICALLY FIT COPS HAD NO FRICKIN REASON TO TASER ONE WOMAN WITH HER EMPTY HANDS IN THE AIR, DEAF OR NOT.
NO EXCUSES. SEND A MESSAGE, PUNISH THE BASTARDS AND MAKE SURE THEY NEVER WORK AS POLICE AGAIN!
Actually my fault for not putting that </sarc at the end.
“a gun is better than 911”
If that isn’t a t-shirt or bumper sticker slogan, it needs to be.
A criminal beating up a deaf woman? We can’t have THAT!
The criminal isn’t part of a *union*.
Now, a *union* conducted beating, *that’s* the quality of beating which should be meted out!
< /sarc >
Thanks! If someone breaks in to my home THEY had better call 911.
How about let’s ask why the criminal who first assaulted her got off scott free and this woman’s constitutional rights were violated?
“Witnesses said White began bleeding heavily from her knuckles and the right side of her face swelled up immediately after she hit the pavement following the Taser jolt. “
Gee, did the witnesses make it up too?
Are you done expressing your outrage that anyone DARED question the Most Holy and Right Reverend Officers?
I find it very telling that you’re more interested in condemning the activity of the media—who did not taze a deaf woman, than you are in condemning those officers, who did taze a deaf woman.
Indeed. How DARE the media EVER speak against King Barry’s Knights of the Realm?
Conservatives don’t WANT skin color to be an issue raised by the media.
It is a liberal desire to expect the media to make skin color an issue.
Whatever. You know best, I’m sure.
Judge me as you wish, I don’t give an Obama.
