Don't pick up dog poop, get beaten and arrested

[rambone]

An immigrant woman was walking her dog, when 2 NYPD officers accused her of leaving dog poop on the ground. She refused at first to obey their orders, but then finally capitulated when intimidated. Then she picked up the dog poop to find that it was cold. She smiled. Then the situation turned ugly.

The witness account gives me chills. All this over a piece of poop that came from someone else's dog. Beaten over a non-violent offense that she didn't commit.

Hiring or training problem?

"Resisting arrest and disorderly conduct..."

Euphemism, anyone?

 

[eldirector]

I can't find the eye witness accounts? Did I miss them?

Sounds like she got pretty combative to me. Guess we'll see when the trial comes up.

but its just a small number of them that are causing problems

seems like there have been an awful lot of incidents lately by this small majority

Respect my authorita

Hiring and training problem. Not respecting there authorita. The lady did not imediatly jump when told. lucky she was not a wood carver.

Its contained in the video clip. Go to 1:37 to hear her describe the cop leaning into the squad car and punching her 6 times.

I'm sure Frank will be by soon to call everyone on this thread names, like ****ing hypocrites.

Missed that the first time through. I thought it was the alleged victim talking.

 

[WWIIIDefender]

I will hold of on this one for now, there was only one side told.

 

[buckstopshere]

Hiring or training problem?

Probably both. Perhaps also a sense that the general public is questioning government and "authority" more and the LEOs who have no business being LEOs are getting frustrated and acting out. Dunno. Just a thought.

I feel for this woman. That bruise on her chest looks awful.

Wow, funny how quick people are to jump on the bandwagon with only one side of this story being told.

I just hope that those of you on the bandwagon never find yourselves being judged as prematurely as you are judging those accused in this story.

The same could be said for Gun owners, Clergy, or any other group of people. People doing their job correctly, doing good deeds, and/or helping people in general does not make the news anymore.

People like/need to have someone/something to complain about.

Would you have posted in a thread about an Officer who bought Christmas presents for a family in need?

if i kept seeing it happening over and over yes i would have. im not basing my remarks off just what the news feeds me, im also basing this off personal experience from the past and video i see all the time.face it people are tired of the "mines bigger than yours " attitude And the "i can do whatever i want you had better respect me or else" attitude

I cannot dispute any of your personal experiences. I will even agree that different areas or regions have different "styles" of policing.

However, as far as the videos go, in 2006 (the most recent numbers I could find) there were over 1.5 Million Police Officers in the United States. Even if we saw a dozen videos a month featuring 2 Police Officers each. That would be 288 Officers in a year. I do agree that it is far too many. However, that is only 1.9 thousandths of a percent. Which in actuality is less than even a few bad apples.

Actually, that seems like a quick conclusion right there.
Did you actually WATCH the video?

The immigrant woman tells of her story, the ADDITIONAL DETAILS are given by someone that lives in the apartment complex and watched it happen.

Those are 2 different people.
Police Dept declined to comment.

Sure, there are details missing, but not to immediately cast this woman as a victim.

 

[Kick]

There are two sides to every story. Somewhere in the middle is where the truth is most often found.

Have you researched who the witness is? Is she a friend of the alleged victim?

People in general never conspire to defraud a government agency or insurance company and witnesses are never paid for their testimony.

I simply need to hear more before coming to a conclusion. After listening to just her story, it appears that the Officers acted out of line. If I only heard the Officer's story, I am sure that it would appear that she was combative.

yup, if it's true then the cops are completely in the wrong, but that video and report was totally one sided. lets hear from a witness or see the dash cam before we rush to judgment.

but you have to remember that "bad news" is "good news". if the story was that a bunch of cops delivered presents to needy kids, you wouldn't give it a second thought. as soon as a police officer does something to violate someones right it is big news,

 

[rambone]

What was this dispute over again? Dog poop? Do we seriously pay people to go follow people's dogs around making sure they poop in a legal fashion?

Somebody give me a spin on that one. This entire encounter was completely unnecessary. The fact that it ended the way it did is revolting.
