Three New Jersey cops beat up a 140 girl. These guys should be embarrassed for doing their job so badly.

Anyone with a little training knows how to subdue a person like this using pressure on a joint or nerve. Punching her was just for fun I guess.

She was drunk, belligerent and resisting arrest. She should be thankful she wasn't shot! When will people realize that when you resist arrest with violence, you more than likely will get arrested violently! Most laws allow police to exert an equal amount of force in subduing someone as is being exerted against them. Does a kick in the groin equal a punch in the head? Humans are animals and when attacked most will either fight back or retreat. Cops have to fight back, they're sworn to! A lot of suspects in scrums with police will go for the cops gun, That's when many people are shot by cops, when resisting arrest. She got exactly what she deserved in my opinion! Cops have a very tough job these days in the U.S., they have to walk a fine line during searches and arrests, as rule of law gets ignored more and more on a daily basis. Most departments if they haven't already, will eventually employ body cameras for the safety of both police and the general public. I love police body cam and dashboard footage as it shows you how disrespectful, lawless and hostile many people are in their interactions with police! Here are some examples from my state alone in the last few weeks!

She was lucky. We have a problem with police abuse in this country and it comes directly from the culture. Obvious she wasn't armed, may have been drinking, probably an asshole.

Police are the professionals and there are better ways to put a person in custody than beating them into submission.

** First two videos cops did a great job.

 

[DNWon]

They are professionals and there are better ways to put a person in custody that beating them.

She was 20, drinking on the beach, was asked to provide identification so she could be issued a summons for drinking on the beach and underage drinking. When she failed to "comply" to provide ID, she was arrested. She supposedly spit and kicked an officer in the groin during the arrest. I don't know very many police officers (or people for that matter) that would have the self control to not strike anyone that had just kicked them in the balls. I hear you, that police in this country are angry, and it's our culture of lawlessness and entitlement that perpetuates it! This is a perfect example of that! A simple request by a police officer to provide identification to someone breaking a law, escalates into an international incident of supposed police brutality with a few officers careers on the line and a litany of charges against a young woman with a history of lawlessness!

Here is her now deleted FaceBook post about the incident:

So, I decide to go on the beach with my daughter, her father and friend. I had alcohol, it’s Memorial Day weekend and 90 percent of people are underage drinking on the beach, without a doubt. Two cops approach me on a their four wheelers and ask me and my friend how old we are, we gave them our ages. Then, we got breathalized, and it came back negative. I told them I wasn’t drinking and the alcohol was clearly closed/sealed, which the cops seen. They still stayed, the one cop following me when I walked away to go make a phone call after they did what they had to do.. like okay, they did their job and I cooperated Therefore I asked them don’t they have something better to do as cops than to stop people for underage drinking on the beach, saying to that there’s so much more serious stuff going on… the cop said, “I was gonna let you go but now I’ll write you up” and he asked my name.

I did not do anything wrong and anything could’ve been written down on that paper so I wouldn’t give it to him. At that point I was told if I don’t give it to him he’s going to arrest me. I told him I have my 18 month old daughter with me and there’s no need for all of it and that again, I’m not gonna give him my information knowing I didn’t do anything wrong. He told me he’s arresting me and started coming towards me to put handcuffs on me. I cautiously was backing up from him (facing him) and yelled for my daughters father. (he was playing in the ocean with our daughter at the time).. I tripped and fell and the cop tackled me to the ground and smashed my head into the sand. At that point I blacked out and fought any way possible trying to get up and push him off me. Thats when he head locked me me by his arm around my neck, punched on me in my head and then he head locked me again but this time choking me, I was gasping for ear.

Yes, i know I should’ve gave him my name.. I was partly wrong in a way but I was scared; Like I said I didn’t do anything wrong and anything could’ve been written on that paper, the whole situation was iffy and I didn’t trust it.. especially being aware of the fact of how grimy law enforcement can be now a days. & honestly, I can say if I took even a sip, then I would’ve gave them my information and called it a day; I’m underage, so I know better. But this whole situation was handled wrongly and blew out of proportion all because these pigs didn’t do their jobs the way they were TRAINED to do so. maybe that’s just how they train them nowadays, who knows with the world we live in today

Now, I’m over here with a sore body, banging headache and the thought of ever trusting a police officer again if anything were to happen in the future. That’s what we call them for right? We are supposed to feel safe and trust our police officers for anything. Oh, did I mention that they didn’t even take the beer (like they’re supposed to since we were underage) and finish getting my friends info?? They obviously were there to stir the pot. I know I’m not the first this happened too and definitely am sure that I will not be the last!!

Too much violence and intolerance in the US have created too many violent, minus zero tolerance, paranoid cops. It will not change... it will get even worse.

So if what she is saying is true, with the breathalizer test coming out negative, why would the cops still need her name afterwards?

Seems a bit exagerated by the cops to me. Still, I'd rather have US Cops, than their embarassing counterpart pussies in the UK...

11 British police officers versus one guy with a knife...

 

[enlytend]

None of us were there, let’s let the investigators and the body cam footage sort it out before jumping to conclusions.

On another note:

“Happy Memorial Day! Those who died for our great country would be very happy and proud at how well our country is doing today. Best economy in decades, lowest unemployment numbers for Blacks and Hispanics EVER (& women in 18years), rebuilding our Military and so much more. Nice!”
​

So inappropriate - yet another self-aggrandizing message on a somber day when we should be honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

 

[briguy]

If I may interrupt....
(little background) Canada has three major political parties and in Ontario, there is a upcoming election for the position of "Premier"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premier_(Canada)

and it getting real heated...

So can you imagine the USA having three parties...???
Pretty sure this thread would be 100x longer...lol

I remember republicans were angry b/c Obama posted a picture of himself on memorial day. Comes with the job I think.

Picture of a school bus used for field trips, ABC TX journalist claiming it's a "prison bus" for children separated from their parents at the border.

This picture is from 2014 / 2015. Liberal journalist are scum.

More inappropriateness. It’s one thing if this was an ad for Walmart, very different coming from the nation’s commander in chief. So disrespectful of our fallen troops and their families!
How about this:
“Thanks to those who have served and continue to serve our country.. Today we honor the memory of those brave service men and women who were lost, and offer our thoughts and prayers to their loved ones.”
... Then zip it. No hawking MAGA hats. No bragging about yourself. How hard is that?

You're right. Now do Sterling Brown.

Neither of these two people were in the "right" but there is a solution between just walking away and beating them into submission.

Exactly. In both cases, I think the police went overboard. This is the kind of stuff BLM protests against, that you seem to have an issue with.

I'm not seeing that ad but I think he might have been born in a cave.

This tweet got some vets mad:

Then he goes on about Russia again:
“The President deserves some answers.” @FoxNews in discussing “SPYGATE.”

“Sally Yates is part of concerns people have raised about bias in the Justice Dept. I find her actions to be really quite unbelievable.” Jonathan Turley

“We now find out that the Obama Administration put the opposing campaigns presidential candidate, or his campaign, under investigation. That raises legitimate questions. I just find this really odd...this goes to the heart of our electoral system.” Jonathan Turley on @FoxNews

He's way into doth protest too much stage.

It’s on his Facebook page. Probably because FB converts better than Twitter...

Things that can get you thrown in jail in the UK:
1) Carrying a knife with a blade larger than 3 inches
2) Saying something mean on social media
3) Leaving bacon on the door of a mosque
4) Interviewing a grooming gang member on their way to court

3 dumb posts in a row.

He was jailed for contempt of court/"breaching the peace" it looks like. So don't do that and he wouldn't have been arrested. But again, that was his plan in the first place.

The trial looks to be ongoing, so they might go to jail.

The drama queens on the right.

I have an issue with BLM because they pretend abuse only happens to black people. I can tell you first hand, that's not true.

I had a conversation with DeRay when BLM started. He's a marxist / racist just like 90% of all BLM.

... fever dreams ...He's way into doth protest too much stage.

 

[mr-x]

Contempt of court charge was from reporting the story. In the UK a judge can prevent journalist from reporting.

He may have wanted to be arrested but I doubt it.
