A Michigan woman is suing the police for slamming her face to the ground unprovoked.
And they have released a very graphic video of what happened:
More from Fox News:
A woman alleges police in southern Michigan slammed her onto the ground and knocked her unconscious while handcuffed at a jail in an incident captured on video.
Tiffany McNeil filed a lawsuit this week in U.S. District Court alleging Coldwater police used excessive force in the encounter in a secure entrance at the Branch County Jail, where she was taken after a domestic dispute. Police reports say that McNeil was resisting arrest and moved toward an officer, who then took her down. But the lawsuit says surveillance video shows police lied.
The video shows an officer holding McNeil with her face pressed against a wall. At one point, the officer appears to pull her from the wall and throw her, face-first, on the ground as other officers stand nearby. When the officer lifts up McNeil’s head, blood can be seen on her head and on the ground. McNeil then lays motionless as officers attend to her wound.
Police reports say McNeil refused to remain standing and “used her weight to push herself off the wall with her chest and turned toward” an officer, forcing him to take her down, according to the lawsuit, which alleges that police lied about what happened.
McNeil received 17 stitches and suffered a concussion, according to her attorney, Solomon Radner.
It’s really hard to see exactly what happens – she does seem to resist a little bit. But does that merit her being slammed into the ground? I’m not sure.
Two things about this. “Black Lives Matter” morons say that this stuff doesn’t happen to white people when there are plenty of examples of cops overdoing their enforcement of law on our lighter skinned brethren. So the issue really isn’t about race, but about some police putting their emotions over their police procedure.
Another thing – I support the police a lot. But I’m not foolish enough to believe they’re perfect. They make mistakes and some of them are just bad. We need to admit that in order to provide as much justice as possible in America.
