Try doing some research on the incident before spreading it to the masses. Try being unbiased also. I live in the area and have followed it since it happened. This woman was drunk and threatening the employees. She also has a long history of run ins with law enforcement. Arrested twice for DUI , one of which she had an unrestrained child in the car with her. Also, every witness told the same to investigators. She was drunk loud and threatening the employees over over plastic eating utensils. How can you spew forth this crap without knowing the facts. And the video conviently only shows her interaction with the police. Where is the video moments before before the police showed up? Why is the video in two segments? Why do all the witness's have nearly the same recount of the incident? I am not saying the Saraland police didn't get rough with her. Honestly, I think twice about driving through Saraland, Chickasaw, and Prichard every time I have to go to these areas.These are rough areas of Mobile county, residents and police alike. Free thought, sure. Baised to fit your agenda, I'd say 100%.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
whether she was drunk and yelling or not, it is still excessive force. We did research the story and that was the conclusion that we came to. The woman didn't harm anyone.
We understand that people get disorderly and that provokes attacks from police, but we dont think that being disorderly is a crime
With that being said, we always appreciate input from people who are close to the situation. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
you are correct in that being disorderly is not a crime. But something that is not being talked about is what she said to the employees, and was heard by all the witnesses. she was asked to leave and told her order was cancelled that's when she said that they don't know her and don't know what she could do and that she might have a gun. with statements like that from a drunk I would call the cops too. Yes I agree the cops got rough but with statements like that, a person should expect to get roughed up by the jackboots. The four days leading up to this incident the Mobile county area had a shooting everyday-all separate incidents. The cops and the people are on edge in the area . Been very tense in the area since , I believe early last year, when a female Saraland cop was shot in the head when called to a domestic disturbance. Around these parts we call the city Scaryland for a reason
This is the part where i disagree
"Yes I agree the cops got rough but with statements like that, a person should expect to get roughed up by the jackboots."
There is not any statement in the world that i think warrants a beating, and personally I feel that this type of permission should not be afforded to police
that is why we choose to cover controversial incidents like this one
You're right to keep these types of stories in check, but TFTP and anyone else would be correct in condemming these cops, no matter how unruly these girls were. Under no circumstances except self defense does a person have a right to use violence against another. Governments could not exist without the violence or the threat of violence and the very existence of them is immoral as long as people are under physical threat against them or their property unless they pay up involuntarily.
