2. Nope, not unless you want to see prosecution of people who perform abortions.

[ZZenith]

4. Yeah, uh, no.

Until a birth certificate is issued the state does not recognize a human life. As it should be.

[malaise]

15. No no no

that's only for the mother after an abortion

[Doodley]

3. That is heartbreaking. As a Brit, I can never get used to what I see now I am in America.

7. Last time I was home in the UK, I was lost off

Piccadilly Circus looking for a store, I asked a couple of officers sitting in their car, if they knew the location of the store now...They said yeah, hop in the back, and they would drop me off there....I stared at them for a moment to see if they were taking the mick...they weren't.....I jumped in the back, and they dropped at the new location of the store....
I would never dream of that happening in the US..

9. Now that's what I call "protect and serve." Wish we were there.

16. Years ago (re cell phones) I had two young cousins with me at a football match

and there was much confusion after so we missed our ride. Cops offered us a ride home. My two cousins are big men now but damn we enjoyed that ride, sirens and all

5. I'm glad it's not unofficial misconduct

[poli-junkie]

6. Sadist. Sick fuck.

[napi21]

8. DAMN! I've been upset bty all the recent videos & glad it at least seems like there will finally

be some remedies to all that illegal behavior, but I had been saying to myself , at least the cops haven't been abusing black women. Now I find out some of them on' care if their victim is a man or a woman. I HOPE some meaningful changes are made that will finally bring this abuse by cop to an end!

10. The details are extremely disturbing. There are conflicting reports on whether she lost the baby

Either way, its extremely disturbing what happened.

Satchell and her friend, Raheam Staats-Fleming, were at Tootsies Cabaret strip club when Satchell got into an argument with a manager over food, according to the Miami Herald. The manager refused to refund her money, and Satchell left as she threw money at a waitress.

Martel and Sgt. Arthur King were working off-duty security when the manager approached them and asked for Satchell to be issued a trespassing warning to prevent her from returning, as she was being “disorderly and disrespectful toward the members of the staff,” reports Local 10.

As Satchell and Staats-Fleming got into her car, a security guard blocked them from leaving. When Martel approached the vehicle, he asked Satchell if he could speak to her, and she handed the officer her ID and asked why. Prosecutors state that the officer asked Satchell to come to his vehicle so he could issue her a warning, and the 33-year-old asked if she could drive over because she was not wearing shoes. When Satchell stated that her father’s a police officer, Martel said he didn’t care.

“Get your shoes on and come with me,” he said.

Video footage, taken from the passenger seat of the car, shows Martel reaching into the car window to unlock the door, pulling Satchell from the vehicle and proceeding to use a leg sweeping technique to place her on the ground. Once she was on the floor, Martel placed his knee on her neck and then tased her twice in her stomach as she screamed.

11. "tased her twice in her stomach?"

what a. sick fuck

[tulipsandroses]

14. Yes it is quite horrifying and shocking. The video is on that website. Its not a youtube

video so I can't figure how to post it here. He reaches into her vehicle and opens the door and pulls her out of her vehicle and tases her in her stomach. Then of course lies on the police report and says she assaulted him.

And surprise surprise, he is being investigated for another misconduct incident.

12. another case where the person was leaving but the dumbfuck cops just

can't leave it alone and feel the need to get violent and make everything worse.

13. Can't get him for murder of the fetus,

but why can't the get him on an attempted homicide charge? Tasing a pregnant woman can kill the fetus and put her life in jeopardy.

[bdamomma]

17. WTF

this is murder, what the hell is wrong with these officers, she's a pregnant woman. Police have no conscience.

[obamanut2012]

18. It is not murder -- the woman is alive

Unless you are stating the fetus was murdered, and that's a slope you don't want to start going down.

[Matthew28]

19. Should be murder!

The baby is a human being.

[Iggo]

20. Not a baby. A fetus.

There's already a group of people who think that's murder.

They're over there on the right.

21. "Another man then approaches the man recording the video and asks him to delete the footage."
