NO but if i were her, I'd reported after it happen but if she waits too long then there would be no case for her. It's called police brutality so look into it and see what can be done or call a lawyer to get some kind of advice, if she wasn't showing proof of injure then she can't really do anything unless she has proof.

You're only getting one side of the story. Hopefully there was a camera in the police car that caught the whole thing on tape and will vendicate the officer.

Normally the person is placed hard on a car when they are resitsting, and had they merely been doing what they were told it would never happen.

The use of force is well justified when it is needed.

I would say she was drunk, and tried to fight witht he police when they cuffed her. So they placed her hard on a hood of a car. Very justified,

No, it's not right. But if you're resisting arrest, they will get forceful with you. At least they didn't unleash the K9 unit.

It's called excessive force. It's wrong.


mountaingirl88

It is not. You should tell them that your head will damage the car so they will not do it


painting?
no

Policemen broke the laws or the laws are contraditary to constitution.

their high moral ground tells them its ok to slam you head on the car because you had the nerve to go out and drink... they will say you were beligerent(SP?) and whos going to believe a drunk over the cops who can do no wrong ever


ninedemonsgod
gee... so many people here are so senstive!

I will bet your friend's head probably was force against hood of the car, but not slam. However she need a excuse to whine about polices. So it's likely she was making it up.

If her head was literaly slammed on car and she was drunk and in a brawl, it's likely she was trying to fight the police, resisting the arrest, or trying to attack someone. So of course the police would slam her head on the hood to make her behave.

Is this right? Well... In civilian's view no, but maiority of them hate police so they will bad mouth the police at every possible chance. In police's view, they probably think they were doing what they were taught to and try to prevent brawls or fighting from getting more intense.

So... Last question is who is right? Put yourself in police's shoe and you were dragging some drunk out of control ****** out of a bar, what would you have done? That should be your answer

NO THE PERSON CAN B TRAUMATIZED

was she mouthing off to the cops? or resisting? I know of no cop that has ever slammed someones head into the hood of a car if they where compling to the officers orders.

and FYI if the cop is putting handcuffs on you and does not say "You are being placed under arrest" or somthing close to that does not mean you are being arrested, but you ARE being detained.


Ruffles
No...but unless you have video it's his word against hers.

Was she resisting them? The police are obligated to take what action is necessary to maintain social order. Considering there was a brawl going on, they were probably justified in doing so unless she was clearly not involved in the brawl.

Police violence is not tolerable. The constable(s) who did this should be reported to the police board

Probably not. Unless they take great care to miss the hood ornament.
