That little editorial in the NY Daily News said there had been no photographic evidence of her being grouped but of her elbowing the cop. So if this is actually the picture I'm glad to know they were full of poo poo.

Well the only way to restrain a woman is by grabbing her tits, it's how they know who's boss :mrapig:

So if a cop grabbed you by the balls would it be completely okay with you provided he wasn't getting any sexual pleasure from it? Because its still a culturally hosed up thing to do and the instinctive reaction of most people to being groped isn't to stop and think whether the other person is enjoying it, its to try and make the unwanted groping stop. You fuckhead.

I'd probably be upset because that's Hitting Below the Belt, but not because I was groped by a raper but because it really hurts!!!! Also I would probably go to jail if I tried to balltap the pig right back because "he started it!" isn't a great defense here IMHO.

Has it occurred to you that being grabbed so hard on the breast might also really hurt? Or that months of jailtime for a likely involuntary reaction to groping (whether intended to be sexual or not) by an officer with a history of excessive force including but not limited to: running a motorcyclist off the road to make an arrest, kicking a suspect in the face while he was on the ground, and slamming an arrestee's face into the stairs on an MTA bus might be a little idiotic? Keeping in mind of course that she required hospitalization for further injuries she recieved at the hands of the same officer?

Of course it hasn't.

It's really hard to restrain someone who doesn't want to be restrained. If you are a good cop carrying out a legitimate arrest and you have to restrain the suspect and in the process of wrapping your arm around her shoulder or torso your hand brushes against her tits (e: which are the equivalent of genitals) then I hope you die in a fire you loving pig.

That said, gently caress bad cops and the scum who protect them.

The police officer's history is really relevant to her involuntary action. I'm sure she subconsciously took that into account before acting reflexively.

This isn't the photo in this case, but as a public defender who (often successfully) defends people accused of resisting the police, this photo doesn't tell us poo poo in a vacuum. Proper use of force can be messy as gently caress -- everything can get grabbed, intentionally and unintentionally. It is, unfortunately, why police are moving from physical take downs to tasers. While tasers are more dangerous (and less work), they look cleaner. You get one wound and no messy photos, videos, and injuries. I'd much rather defend a client accused of resisting who got hit than one who got tased any day of the week (excessive force is a defense in California).

That said, I could probably make that photo be reasonable doubt in a case against that woman, depending on what is claimed to have occurred before and after (any violence on her part better have happened after). I don't think you could prove a case against the cop beyond a reasonable doubt on that photo in vacuum, and you'd have issues even on a lower civil level.

The only really truly useful stills for these cases need to basically show the defendant sitting on the ground or something a la UC Davis or those firehose shots from the civil rights era. Video is way better.

It would be relevant to the amount of force used when grabbing especially if it comes down to a swearing contest. Proof of prior excessive force is almost always relevant to claims of excessive force.

Yes, because clearly that was what I meant. I wasn't at all instead pointing out a variety of factors that you should take into account before you answer whether or not you think this woman should suffer a felony charge and several months in jail over what was an instinctive reaction, with the mitigating factor that the officer in question has a history of police brutality and corruption (a ticketing scandal) and thus isn't exactly a trustworthy source on what happened.

But no, keep up with the low effort shittiness.

For the record, I love cops. I'm a middle aged white male, so I LOVE cops. I've been pulled over once for having no running lights due to a blown fuse and once for being out walking at 4am. Cops are very much my friends and I understand that they have absolutely lovely jobs at time. My whole issue with this is that it is loving absurd that this woman is going to jail for months over something like this.

Of course, if by "evidence" you're referring to racist preconceptions by jurors who refuse to admit to having such preconceptions during voir dire conducted by attorneys on both sides, then again, no poo poo. But what exactly do you propose to do about it?

Are you trying to say that minorities aren't treated extremely unfairly by the criminal justice system? It's a big enough problem that it isn't just being caused by the occasional racist juror who slips through the cracks.

He's saying that you can't make that argument "minorities commit crimes all the time! and the accused is also a minority, so he probably commits crimes too!" in court.
