That this cop wasn't punished for this shows how little you can really trust authority.

And don't be fooled by the "funny video" tag...It's anything but.

[BlueStateGirl]

1. What a complete bastard. How was he cleared?

[wtbymark]

2. clearly, contemp of cop

i hope this asshole was fired

[Melodybe]

3. At least she got $60 grand out of the ordeal.

That cop was a fucker.

[Straight Shooter]

4. How in the name of heaven did that bastard get cleared?

Son of a bitch, he really enjoyed spraying her. I think he didn't like her 'tude, but the girl was telling the truth.

Son of a bitch. :wtf:

[rocktivity]

5. And if anyone had thought to check the videotape

none of it would have happened.

I've seen a couple of episodes of Cops where they were called in about a shoplifter, and the store manager would show them the surveillance tape of what the suspect had done--simple. But at least the girl's summer job problems got solved!

:headbang:

[LiberallyInclined]

6. how do you know that the cop wasn't punished?

is there a follow-up story to go with it?

[dogday]

7. I have said it before and I will say it again

Police State, no doubt about it.....They cleared that bastard and he was wrong.

[wakeme2008]

8. Funny with the video which I am sure the city counsel saw

they paid her $60,000.....

[LiberallyInclined]

9. is there a link to the story?

i'd LOVE to know where it happened, because I'd LOVE to give the police department there a call to express my opinion of their officers.

[anarch]

10. what an asshole!

I was once threatened with arrest for "looking" at an undercover cop the wrong way...I just saw some asshle who seemed to be harrassing some woman, and I guess I checked the situation out too much, thinking I might have to intervene--didn't even know he was a cop, but then he starts in on me with "what are you lookin' at, boy? You know I'm a police officer, right? You want me to put the cuffs on you right now..." and so on. It was right outside my apartment building, so I just shook my head and walked inside, but wtf?

From the movie Billy Jack: "When policemen break the law, then there isn't any law - just a fight for survival."

[Ian David]

28. He called you "boy"? Were you actually a boy, or just black?

Cops suck, man.

[jojo54]

11. It's a damn shame that (most) cops think their shit doesn't stink

I'm not saying that all cops are b_llbusters, but I think the power goes to their heads sometimes.

[Droopy]

12. I live near Dayton

I don't see how the woman can get $60,000, but the cop get cleared of all wrong doing.

[Ysolde]

13. That poor girl!

And what an asshole! Her manager vouched for her! And, he didn't care! This cop should be in jail! Just goes to show you...if you're black you don't get treated the same as someone who's white.

[pocket]

14. that pig needs to be fired and jailed!

I bet he wouldn't have done that to a white girl.

[bj2110]

15. The cop's an asshole, he should have been fired, but...

I don't care if the girl's white or black, the way she talked to him wasn't right. Yes, he overreacted, but if the girl had kept the swearing in and tried to be polite about it and not totally blow the guy off, she never would have been sprayed. She probably wouldn't have got 60 grand, though, either.... hmmmm....

[GeekMonkey]

16. cops do not automatically deserve respect

especially when they are violating a person's civil rights

[bj2110]

18. Cops also do not automatically deserve to be treated like pigs, either.

[GeekMonkey]

24. they do if they act like one, and he did

he was wrong, he knew it, and was trying to use his power to intimidate

people like this should NEVER be allowed to be a cop

[Kraklen]

25. He's not automatically being treated like a pig.

He's being treated like a pig because of his criminal behaviour.

The guy's a disgrace to his uniform and belongs in jail.

[blondeatlast]

32. Precisely--to get respect--GIVE IT.

And the fact that he apparently wasn't disciplined is why cops are losing respect, whether it's right or not.

Edit: If the public could see that police departments take out-of-line behavior by their own seriously, respect would follow, and cops would behave with respect, decency, and proper authority.

When they get no discipline for stepping over the line, what are we supposed to think?

[SlavesandBulldozers]

20. oh the "way she talked"

yeah, cops hate that the most. It's against "their" law. She was done when she said "I don't care that you're a police officer". That, to the cop mind, is the most insidious of blasphemies - and you can be sure that if tasers were in circulation when that incident occurred (which was around 5ish years ago) that girl would have been lit up like a fucking light bulb.

And then, like clockwork, liberalnurse would come out and defend the cop's actions.

[johannes1984]

17. Sadist racist son of a bitch

i sure hope there's justice beyond the one served by the authorities .Cause there's no way that SOB got what's comming to him from his buddies .

i bet it's like a whole serie of Rove drones produced to simply piss of , and try , the real human beings .

[Kraklen]

19. I'm at work.

Anybody want to describe the video?

[Droopy]

21. Cop thinks he gets shortchanged

at a Wendy's drive through. Comes inside to complain to the manager. The cop thought he gave the woman working the window a 20 instead of a 10. A quick look in the register shows that there are no twenties in there. Cop comes back and starts giving the woman working the window a hard time. The woman starts cussing out the cop. Cop tries to arrest her. She won't go. Cop pepper sprays her in the face. Woman ends up going to the hospital. She gets a $60,000 settlement from the police. The cop goes free and unpunished.

[Lars39]

22. If he had been a civilian, it would have been attempted robbery.

Makes me wonder if this cop is used to not having to pay at driv-in windows.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

23. sure

restaurant drivethru securty camera. camera is behind the cash register.

african american girl takes order from cop. hands him 6 something in change and his order, cop drives off. then all of the sudden the cop accuses girl of taking money, says he gave her a 20. girl says he gave her a ten. there ARE NO TWENTIES IN THE CASH REGISTER. all of the sudden the cop shows up next to the fucking cash register and is telling the girl she's going to jail for taking his money. girl refuses, says she doesnt care if he's a cop. much backtalk. cop sprays girl with mace, takes her to hospital because she cant breathe.

it turns out D'oh! he gave her a ten. oh well the cop keeps his job and the girl gets 60k.

[SheepyMcSheepster]

26. wow, to protect and to serve indeed.

what a loser.

[Ian David]

27. This pisses me off. The cop keeps his job???

Remind me never to serve a cop in Dayton, Ohio.

The businesses in Dayton should all refuse service to cops.

Or, at the very least, they should refuse to provide service to THIS cop.

If I owned a store in Dayton, this cop would not be welcome in it.

[Ian David]

29. OK, here is what I've found so far

Judge upholds rehiring of cop who sprayed girl


DAYTON, Ohio — A judge has upheld the reinstatement of a policeman fired after using pepper spray on a worker at a fast-food restaurant.

Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey Froelich ruled Monday that the city is bound by an arbitrator's order to rehire policeman Michael McDonald.

<snip>


Officer McDonald used pepper spray on Brandy Martin, then 17, while arresting her in February 1998. He said she refused to go with him to his cruiser and receive a summons after he accused her of shortchanging him at the drive-through window.

Officer McDonald, 35, was found not guilty of misdemeanor assault in June 1998. But Police Chief Ronald Lowe fired him a few weeks later, saying OfficerMcDonald's actions were callous and brutal.

A police officer in Dayton, Ohio has been acquitted of criminal charges after allegedly using pepper spray on Brandy Martin, a 17-year-old Wendy's restaurant worker who short-changed him at the drive-in window... we would like to commend the officer for keeping his service revolver holstered during the entire ordeal...

(Excuse me? He "allegedly" used pepper spray but she "short-changed him."? Anyone see something wrong there?
