Yes of course the officer cut her own face. And Lane called the Gov and a state senator for something besides string pulling right? As to the clip, having a camera doesn’t mean you are allowed to disobey lawful orders from the police. They tell you step back, camera or not, you have to step back.

No sympathy for the scum. Where was the nightstick in the chops or the Taser to shut her scummy mouth? It was deserved.

Ah Bones, that is, of course, the official police line.

I do not doubt that she may have been acting uppity but there is a line between that and assault.
Since she is a minor celebrity I have doubts we will get more info, as her and her producers are probably scrambling to make this piece of news go away.

Here’s video of a common police reaction to being filmed.

She “took” pictures by putting her I phone against the male cops face. When the female officer grabbed her wrist she screamed dyke and punched her in the face twice before the cops put her down and arrested her. Now what part of that sounds like overreaction by police?

Considering the other vidoes I have seen of cops responding to people photgraphing them while they are engaging in abusive behavior, I will be very interested to see these photos. I get a sense that this was probably an overreaction by the police that turned into an “assault” by a cell phone wielding citizen.

so i guess i should wonder what’s wrong with me that my platonic female friends aren’t sending me half naked photos of themselves…
