If she would have had a service dog, they probably would have shot it.

She should’ve worn a burqa and none of this would’ve happened.

This story, if accurate, and I have no reason to believe it
isn’t is beyond words. What can one say in regards to this level of abuse that would be cogent or meaningful.
The only appropriate response I can think of involves rope and a tree. We as citizens can no longer allow these thugs
to continue to operate with impunity. The system has been
corrupted and perverted to where these monsters never need
fear being held accountable by the courts. Therefore it’s time they were called to task and punished outside of the
courts.

It’s NOT a complex story. It’s simple: police officer assault, tase and severely injure a deaf woman, then try to cover it up. Very simple.

Please let’s not be too hasty with adjudication of anything.

Look at the article and the woman, and then let’s ask ourselves why we’re just hearing about this now, a month later?

It would appear that she’s got multiple witnesses, and proof that an interpreter was not provided to her throughout her stay in jail. She needs to sue the PD, and the officers need to be fired for covering up their gross error in responding to this call. The taser shot is bad enough, but could possibly be understood as them thinking it may be necessary to protect themselves. The way in which she was handled after the fact that it became clear (within minutes) that she was the deaf victim and not the perpetrator is obscene.

Did they ever even bother to actually attempt catch the person who she called them to get? There is no mention of that... So, they took the victim to jail, and apparently the suspected assaulter got away???

Fear the cops more than the criminals

At the very least, the 3 days in jail with no interpreter is true and is inexcusable.

Because the police were covering it up and the journalist had to investigate to uncover the story.

“This story, if accurate, and I have no reason to believe it

Big Media likes to foment with half truths and lies all the time.

They’ve gone to a lot of trouble to publish an emotion-inducing article A MONTH LATER without making it about race.

Kind of interesting for Big Media. Also kind of interesting that it was covered up so well for a month.

Why should we EVER be willing to believe ANYTHING from Big Media simply because we “have no reason to believe it
isn’t” true?

Few situations cannot be made worse via the addition of police. Reason number 867 why a gun is better than 911.

So, just what are you trying to say? Are you saying that since this was a black woman, and this article was just now published indicates that she is lying???

If you actually read the whole article without jumping to your own conclusions you would see that the TV station has been trying to get a statement from the police department in regards to this event for SIX WEEKS. I'd say that's more than long enough to attempt to get both sides before running with the woman's story.

It's clear that the PD doesn't want to talk about it - which reminds me of the way she was apparently treated while in jail, and afterwards.

Just curious, do you actually think you can tell the character of a person by their appearance, or does it just apply to certain people?

If this woman’s story is 1/4 accurate, this LEA is going to lose quite a bit of $$$ in a lawsuit...more if her story is 100% accurate...even more if the Civil Rights people campaign for her
