DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – A woman claims she was knocked unconscious at the Montgomery County Jail by an officer.

Was excessive force used is this case? You decide.


But Bly and the Montgomery County Sheriff’s office don’t agree on what happened.

All the incident reports given by the officers involved, said Evans, “vaulted herself off the wall”

“Non of the records indicate that she was picked up by a sheriffs deputy and body slammed head first into the concrete floor.”

WARNING!!!!!

YOU DECIDE

[Lurks Often]

1. Certainly looks that way

[Rex]

2. Cops are never wrong, so it must be all her fault.

EVEN if I see it with my own two eyes...they must be lying, cause cops are ALWAYS RIGHT!

Clearly the bald cop was simply escorting her to the floor, with haste because she was probably a threat or something.

[malaise]

3. Only if those men were part of the wall

These fuggin' fuckers lie even when there's evidence to the contrary

[BlueCaliDem]

4. The fact that none of the reports by any officers show that she was lifted and body-slammed

face first into the concrete floor - as the video clearly shows - tells me that they damn well knew they used excessive force. So, yes. They used excessive force on an inebriated, handcuffed woman. And they tasered her to boot!

[merrily]

5. Scenes like this make me physically nauseous.

I cannot even imagine what they do to every part of the body of the person enduring it.

WHY? And WHY do we allow it? Our tax dollars are paying every bit of the cost of this brutality, from salaries, overtime and pensions to real estate to the light and phone bills. In what world do people have to pay and pay and pay for what is abhorrent to them while have a say in the matter in name only?

When someone runs for Mayor, town council or whatever, make him or her tell you where they stand on things like this and what they intend to do to make sure it doesn't happen. And please don't tell me voting Democratic will fix everything. Most of the Occupy cities had Democratic Mayors.

6. If they caused bodily injury to where she was unable to comply,

the force was excessive.

[Dragonfli]

7. For as long as I can remember, the pigs have always behaved that way

The exception being the rare cop that was just trying to do their job, but even they looked the other way (literally, I noticed they would actually turn their heads and pretend they were seeing something in another direction, like cats do sometimes).

You learn this growing up poor or black, or worst case scenario poor and black in a city.

I am glad the comfortable people with the nice houses and two to three cars in their garages are finally learning the truth. Perhaps it is because now they have added the new stormtrooper gear or perhaps it is because most now have the ability to record things with their phones, but don't kid yourselves, just because you did not grow up poor or black and had no idea, doesn't mean this shit wasn't standard operating procedure and that it has been since at least the late sixties.
