Cops drag woman out of car, punch her senseless for alleged seatbelt-violation.

She had called the PD a few minutes earlier to complain about the rude and unprofessional behavior of these two cops.

After dragging her out of her car and beating her up, they charged her with resisting arrest. It turned out that she suffered brain-damage from this assault, leading to permanent memory-loss and brain-trauma.

The charge was dropped after it turned out that the whole incident was caught on camera and that she wasn't resisting arrest. The police-report was a complete fabrication.

That was 2013. None of the cops have been charged with anything, neither for the fabricated report nor for the assault.





Btw, she's white, which means #AllLivesMatter will jump to her defense any minute now and demand that the cops be held accountable.
Any minute now...

2) I get what you're saying and it's sad you have a point because a very serious problem has been diluted by superficial gamesmanship.

alllivesmatter crowd to speak out about this would be to admit that some cops do cross the line. They have spent entirely too much effort justifying the killing and abuse of blacks in the same circumstances. But many people realized from the get-go that the ALM crowd were just peddling their racism as a cause, not police abuse against citizens.

The killing of Zachary Hammond in Senaca, SC is a perfect example of that. The only thing that the ALM types have said concerning that is where is BLM protesting this killing. Not once have they organized a protest or spoken out against it. It was the local AfAm groups that did that.

ALM is basically a way for racists to whine about being too lazy to do anything to stem police abuse.

Are they being trained to brutalize or is it a matter of go along to get along? Whatever is the driving force behind police brutality it's un-American and disgusting.
