  1. I see nothing that the blonde did to warrant getting knocked down,dragged,and who knows what else out of view of the camera.Notice the cop behind the counter who doesn’t move or bat an eyelash at this brutality.Is this “normal booking procedure” in Bpt?The other male cops saunter around leisurely,while the thug-ette in blue beats on ‘Blondie’ like a rented Kia

  2. It probably will cost Bpt, and rightfully so. When I saw and heard this when it was shown on channel 8, nothing the woman said or did warranted her treatment. She was unwilling to remove her clothes in the presence of male officers and she told a female officer to keep her hands off her and not to touch her. The female officer seemed to lose control and began yelling “What are you going to do if I touch you?” as she appeared to lunge at the women grabbing her by her throat. She was then swarmed by several other officers which I saw no need for. I don’t blame the woman for filing a lawsuit, but I resent that tax payers will be footing the bill for the ignorance of a police officer. She definitely needs to be disciplined and should be held financially accountable by having her pay reduced substantially for as long as it takes to pay whatever damages the court awards to the victim.She might need to be mandated to attend anger management classes, see a shrink, and be placed on probation until the whole situation is resolved, including paying off the victim’s award.
