Heard her interviewed this am on GMA on the radio- she and her lawyer have what appears to be a rock solid case in that the cop turned the tape off for a segment of the beating, and the tape resumes with her on the floor in a pool of her own blood.

Notice he's checkin his hands afterwards, and as he appears to be leavin the room, as if lookin for signs of battery.

Was she an annoying drunk? 100%.

Did she have this comin'? Ah~no.

I am startin to really revisit my overall opinion of Cops as more and more of these type of things take place.

COmin from a family where there were a couple cops, Ive always supported em 100% due to the dangerous nature of their job and the relative to job requirements, low pay. But more and more I think those that head into law enforcement are just the wrong types.

The way I saw it, everbody takes a beating sometime.

Super.

50 bucks says that if you do a full investigation into this woman, it turns out that this will be the best thing that even happens to her.


She will never work another day in her life, courtesy of the City's insurance company.

just like every occupation you have a wide spectrum of competency.

"You can't not let me call anybody..."


Anyone who would use a double negative in that situation deserves a beating.

Jeezus that cop is an a-hole.

I deal with drunks way more annoying than her on a regular basis and don't have to get physical.

He should have just tazzed the bitch.

What's worse is... she's a woman! The guy unloaded on a drunk, handcuffed woman. Why not beat the crap out of an infant next?

That cop deserves whatever comes his way.

I don't believe the All-encompassing mantra of "You never hit a woman", (though I never have) but there are very few I could ever muster the moxie to hit anyway.




Here's looking at you, Rosie, (while rubbing fist into palm)...

I think whenever a cop is seen arresting someone in public everyone in the vicinity should start filming on their cellphone cameras. If the government is going to put us all under surveillance then the public should do the same to the authorities.

She'd probably kick your ass in front of all your friends- and I'd be the first to start the slow clap

"...and I'd be the first to start the slow clap"

No shot, I've been working out in Cutty's gym.

Good cops know how to administer a good beating without leaving marks. This guy is clearly incompetent.

Only if you beat me to it.



And Glenn, come on, I can see possibly a reason where strikin a woman MAY be necessary, but a handcuffed one?

Hearing ends in chaos for men beaten by police
By Joseph A. Slobodzian

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

This morning's hearing for three shooting suspects - whose beating by police was caught on a helicopter news video - ended in postponement, shouted protests against police brutality, and arrest warrants issued for several missing witnesses.
Philadelphia Municipal Court Judge Jacquelyn Frazier-Lyde ordered the preliminary hearing for the men to be postponed until July 17 after Assistant District Attorney Carol Meehan Sweeney announced that several shooting victims had failed to appear for the hearing.

Sweeney then requested and received from the judge bench warrants for three victims shot on May 5: Gerald Cooper, Brandon Crowe, and De'Angelo White.

Sweeney said that she spoke personally to Cooper and Crowe about today's hearing, and spoke with the mother of White.

The victims were gunned down shortly after 10 p.m., allegedly by three men, the same three, police said, whose beating was filmed by a Fox29 news helicopter.

Frazier-Lyde then angered defense attorneys by suddenly recusing herself when it came to the question of whether the suspects should be freed on bail. The judge did not state a reason in court and the attorneys said she also did not elaborate in a sidebar conference.

The packed courtroom then emptied into the lobby of 24th and 25th Police District's headquarters.

Loud shouting erupted as family and supporters of the suspects complained about the beatings and the fact that they had been denied bail.

"We are tired. We are paying these police to beat us. This has got to stop," said Paula Peebles, chairman of the Philadelphia chapter of the National Action Network, the civil rights organization led by the Rev. Al Sharpton.

Dwayne Dyches, 24; Brian Hall, 23; and Pete Hopkins, 19 are charged with attempted murder and related counts, accused of shooting into a crowd in the Feltonville section of North Philadelphia.

Police say they believe the shooting was in retaliation for the May 4 murder of a 20-year-old Feltonville man.

Shortly after the shooting, police pursued a late-model sedan belonging to Hall after it left the scene. A news helicopter overhead shot video of police forcing the suspect vehicle to the shoulder in the 3700 block of North Second Street.

The video then shows a group of up to 15 officers rushing the car, pulling the three men out and forcing them to the ground and then kicking and beating them for about one minute.

Defense attorneys for the men have said they had nothing to do with the shooting and that the pursuit and beating was because police had mistaken Dyches for Eric DeShawn Floyd, 33, then a fugitive wanted in the May 3 slaying of Sgt. Stephen Liczbinski.

Mayor Nutter and police Commissioner Charles H. Ramsey decried the beatings shown on the video and announced the start of an internal investigation. Thirteen officers, including a sergeant, have been removed from active duty pending the outcome of that probe.

The FBI in Philadelphia has said it would monitor the investigation by police and the District Attorney's office before deciding whether to refer the incident to the U.S. Justice Department's Civil Rights Division for review.

Police say a fourth man arrived with the three but fled on foot after firing into the crowd. Police said fifteen 9mm cartridge casings were found at the scene but no weapon was recovered from the vehicle that was stopped.

That's pretty tough- warrants for those that got shot- I get that they can do that, but kinda surprised I guess that they did?

Witness intimidation much? I mean, how hard would it be to intimidate 3 guys who got shot but lived, on behalf of the three dudes who shot AT them?

Not to tough i wouldnt think.

but no weapon was recovered from the vehicle that was stopped.


I'm quite sure the proficient and thorough police investigators tested the men's hands for gunpowder residue. Seeing as how one of them fired a gun just minutes before he was "apprehended".

So youre of the thought that this was a mistaken ID thing? Like these werent the guys (as the story cites as a possibility) that fired on the three men who didnt show up to testify against the men?

I'd be willing to give the police some slack if they'd found the still-hot gun in the car, or there were some corroboration from evidence. So far, all I've heard is that the cops THINK these were the shooters. That's it? I hope there's more than that before they chase people down and beat the shit out of them.

Why did they run for 20 blocks?

4 cops have been fired for the beatdown.

Black mayor, black police chief, what did you expect?

At least with these men off the street the black community will finally be safe and peaceful.

I get tired of this kind of shit. You are a cop because you are expected to behave as a professional not a cowboy. Getting shot at is part of your job hazzard. Kicking the shit out of a person that you are trying to arrest doesn't make sense to me. Arrest him. Incarceration is their punishment. You swear to uphold due process and the law, so do it.

No excuse. Can I understand the emotional frustration - yes. Can their actions be understood? Yes. Condoned? No.

They had a couple of pundits who were very well decorated and experienced cops on CNN who to a person said that the actions were excessive.

I just laugh at the black community who act as if the police are the cause of their problems.

Cops get rough with suspects who led them on a twenty block chase? Outrage.

4 year old girl gets caught in a broad daylight crossfire? No one sees/says anything.

Nice community.

Certainly Ramsey, Nutter and Sharpton are celebrating over lunch today.

I'm not saying that those guys are innocent, but they weren't supposed to be treated that way. Otherwise, the law can be co-opted and there are no checks and balances for "authority". There is a judicial system meant to deal with them.
