http://thefreethoughtproject.com/cop-beats-young-girl-riding-bike-mall-parking-lot/This heroic officer ripped the girl from her bike and slammed her up against a parked car with his hand around her neck. As the child struggled to breathe, grabbed her by the hair and flung her around like a rag doll.
Clearly overpowering the small child, half his size, the officer wasnt satisfied with the damage hed inflicted so far. So, for good measure, Williams pulled out his taser and sent 50,000 volts into this poor girl....
Williams then arrested Monique and charged her with resisting arrest and, get this, assault on an officer.

(1,473 posts)Here's my guess as to what might happen:
The police will band together as always.
They will begin to demonize the victim and look up any record the victim or any family members or friends might have and make criminal connections.
A GJ will convene to hear the evidence as directed by the prosecutor.
At this point it will go one of two ways:
The GJ will not indict the officers.
The GJ will indict and the Prosecutor will charge the officers with the wrong charges and they will walk due to double jeopardy.
The city's taxpayers will be the whipping boy and will end up paying damages in a civil proceeding for the officer's aggravated assault on a minor.

This is way out of line and I, too, am glad it was caught on camera.

Handcuffed and left by the side of the road, after being smacked in the head, miles from my house.

(50,566 posts)Why are so many of these violent cops creeps on power trips? These hyper macho assholes must be trying to make up for their own insecurities by "exercising their authority" to a ridiculous, violent level because deep down they know they're worthless pieces of crap.

Now, a former Oxnard police officer is blowing the whistle on a sick practice of officers in the department proudly "earning" tattoos every time they shoot and kill people while on duty:
The former Oxnard police officer who recently left the department said he saw the tattoos on the officers. He made a drawing of what the shooting tattoo looks like. He said the tattoos were probably purchased from a tattoo shop in Port Hueneme because that is where Oxnard officers go to get tattooed.
The former Oxnard police officer also provided the names of seven Oxnard officers and two retired officers who allegedly had the tattoos. The nine names also included two officers who are currently commanders at the Oxnard Police Department. One is a watch commander.
The former Oxnard officer told American Justice that if smoke is added to the tattoo, coming out of the barrel, then the shooting was fatal. He said the tattoos are earned by officers involved in shootings.

Her ancestors were dragged kicking and screaming to this country by the ancestors of those cops and they are not going to let her forget it.
Just another day in the neighborhood.

(61,695 posts)You don't know that, do you? He may be first generation-US-born. He may be a grandson of Hitler Youth. But you don't know if his ancestors brought Africans to be slaves in the US. I know many white people whose parents were 20th century immigrants.
But I certainly get your point about his membership in the white brotherhood as a factor in treating probable descendants of slaves heinously. And those attitudes may not have originated here.

If the girl is black she has at least 20% European DNA which means she's descended from white folk who were probably in the slave trade.

(10,952 posts)It doesn't matter if he was on duty or off duty,if he was wearing his uniform he was also representing the police department. Anybody attacked and brutalized by this nethanderal would have no way of knowing that the guy was not on duty.
The brute should have to face criminal charges. If this country cannot get the police under control what is to stop American born versions of ISIS from rising up and fighitng back against the system?

Fired without retirement or terminate pay. All of them because why would another officer stand by and watch this and not do something??
The monster who hurt her should be jailed for assault with bodily harm.

(65,409 posts)Yeah, a mall parking lot is "private property," but it is full of vehicles--often including bikes--because people drive or ride and then park their cars and bikes there.
That is what it is for. Maybe the drivers of all those cars all over that private property need to be beaten, tased , and arrested, too, for trespassing.

(62,426 posts)Who watches the watchers? What do we do when those in public trust positions break laws and are covered by others in positions of public trust.
Let us hope the occupy type movements snowball.
Thank goodness we have cameras to watch the watchers to some degree.
