Alleged Police Abuse: Roxanne Carr

[Siphorous]

I wonder what the real story is behind the video, what was said and done.

local stuff for me

not the first story of this nature

cell block cops need to be careful the way they roughly handle drunks, seems everyone is video taping everything nowadays

The article did mention other similar cases of course - but in this one, there was no audio (a standard thing in cop shops I wonder?) and not much info so you're left to wonder:

a) whether she did have a broken arm given her wincing when she tried to open the door on the way out
b) what went on in the cell that she had clothing removed and that all those cops had to run in.
c) was she really that much of a danger that they had to use what looked like a belt to tie her up initially?

Too little info.

the boy cried wolf so many times recently that people are tired of the lawsuits,

stacy bonds started it ( she had reason to) but now every week we have some punk claiming that he was manhandled and his rights violated, the smell of dollars is in the air

most of the cops that have been found to have used excessive force have since been re-assigned

bottom line is despite what my "rights" might be if i am out of control in public due to booze or drugs, i better smarten up and listen the police, they got tazers now
