This nice lady has 2 children and only 1 car seat. Let's beat her up.

She slipped out of the handcuffs and tried to get out of the car.  That is trying to escape and she was drunk.

The Grand Jury has met and could not reach a conclusion and want more information.

IF it was as cut and dried as the posters here would have one believe, the Grand Jury would have sent it on to trial.  They did not.

Why the rush to judgment?

Police make millions of stops and investigate accidents all over the country every day without incident.  Frankly I am stunned at the sympathy for a driver who drove from Panama City to Tallahassee and crashed into a house with passengers.

I wonder if any of the posters here would feel as they do if THEIR son or daughter had been along for this fun ride.

If they were under age, were any of the students in the car drinking too?  We do have an open container law here in Florida.

I really have little sympathy for her but the police must be above using excessive force.

You also have no moral compass when you think beating a woman nearly to the point of non-recognition because she took a drink is acceptable behavior by cops.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself for saying so, but you don't have any shame button to push.

Care to show me a quote where I made that statement?

Please stop misinterpreting my comments....you are always incorrect. For the sake of honesty copy paste the quote. Very simple to do.



BTW...she failed her field sobriety test...but I'm sure you will defend her.

Are you defending the actions of the cops here in bashing her face in?  Because I think you suck.  Not only here but all around.  I think you're a stone cold....

Please show us the proof you have that none of those injuries happened when she crashed into a brick wall.

Unless you're among the worlds worst parents, my guess is that if your son or daughter had been in that car from PC to Tallahassee, you'd think she got off easy. I am NOT advocating that this is something the police had any right to do...IF they did it. I'm reserving judgment.

IF they did it, the police need to be prosecuted. However, I'm proud to reserve judgment.

So long as you call yourself Dreamsglore, don't get so worked up about the name someone else picked for themselves.  At least mine is spelled correctly.

By the way, what do you mean "it won't be any worse?"Just that statement implies that if anyone posted on here as Cat, other posters would jump on them like a herd of buffalo.  I'm not interested in your stupid ass vendetta.
Do you understand that?

You don't make rules for me.

I don't remember asking you to post your identity on this forum. I know who you are as well as everyone else who ever posted on the PNJ. You used to post under your real name...remember? I'm just asking you to quit pretending you're not Calico Cat and to quit the ridiculous charade. As for my name being spelled incorrectly, it is not. My name is Dreamsglore not dreamsgalore. I spelled it that way for a specific reason,Dilbert. Glore is the last name of someone close to me.

I'm not excusing her actions. I didn't see her resist... The police pulled her from the car... saw that the cuffs had fallen off... resecured her. Then she may have resisted a bit and tried to pull away or something... it certainly wasn't an escape attempt. The reason she was being arrested had no bearing on the police actions during that incident.

Nobody has sympathy for her drinking and driving. I haven't seen anyone post that. These are two separate issues and she will be held accountable.however, if it were my son or daughter I would not want them treated in that manner by the police. It is totally unjustifiable regardless of the crime.

No. I did not defend the actions of the cops. Go back and read my posts.  

As Teto said she will probably win a huge settlement..... even though she chose to drive over 100 miles while drunk with kids in her car, crash into a house, and endanger the lives of minors.... damn lucky she didn't kill the kids, herself or other innocent people. 


Felony behaviour gets a reward because of a macho cop throwing his weight around. Don't lose sight of her actions.

I do believe that she was resisting the police when they took her back out of the car to handcuff her.  You cannot entirely see what is going on in the video because the police car/door is blocking the view.  But she was also accused of assaulting a nurse when she was taken to the hospital.  


http://www.wctv.tv/news/headlines/223161391.html

At TMH, while being cared for by the hospital staff, Ms. West continued disruptive behavior that resulted in charges for assault being filed against her by the nurse on duty.

She crashed her car into the master bedroom of a house.  Lucky for her, the residents were not there.  She could have injured or killed them, as well.

Did you or did you not see the one cop go ballistic and start physically attacking the woman?

It doesn't say how the nurse was assaulted and it could be something very minor like pushing her away but when you have the States Atty. saying he didn't see any behavior that would cause that reaction in the police it says a lot.

I saw them slam her to the ground and hold her head down while handcuffing her.  It looked like rough treatment to the woman.  But you couldn't tell in the video (I couldn't, anyway) what she was doing before the cops did that.  

Did you see where she is accused of assaulting a nurse?    Do you think she was just being meek and cooperative during this whole event?

An investigation needs to be completed.  Bad and abusive cops are dangerous to the public.   However, Markle and Joani have brought up good points.

I agree, it doesn't look good for the cops when the state attorney makes this kind of comment.

You managed to completely avoid answering my question. Did the cop or did he not go off the reservation and physically assault this woman without cause? I believe a jury would say he did.

I'm sorry, which part of the video are you talking about?  Was it before or after they slammed her to the ground?   The slamming her to the ground part was what I found to be very rough looking.

wow what a video man ---what I got out of it was the cop asked her to get out of the car 7 times -I counted---she resisted arrest--and after they all slipped or something she slid off the car face first --ouch!

then you know she was drunk making those mooing sounds that was a bit much that was just mooing over and over like a drunk does lol-----Her face hit the road pretty hard --but not enough to cause all that on her face --as far as being drunk with kids in the car well that is stupid .

usually stuff like this happens when you don't listen--GET OUT OF THE CAR AND DO NOT RESIST---That is what I got from the video , test or not shes mooing like a cow . If the cops wanted to beat her up they could have done that already.. way before all that . I don't know that's the way I saw it I guess everybody has there opinion though.

She received the eye injury when she was thrown down on the ground after being on the car and her eye hit the end of the bumper.

I've watched the video several times. I just watched it again. I do not see what FloridaTexan is talking about.  I do not see the cops assaulting her other than slamming her to the ground but I believe that she was kicking, grabbing and resisting them, which caused them to slam her to the ground.  I didn't see them beating her.

If she hit my house and had hurt my daughter she would look worse than that --shes lucky no one was at home.

I saw where they had a knee in her back and she was screaming unmercifully. i think that's when she started to try and grab them. They also said she slurred her words but I didn't hear that.

I think she was grabbing and resisting before they slammed her to the ground.  It's difficult to see because the police car is blocking the view.

when you drink to much people feel like they can say and do anything

well that is till they wake up in the morning and look and say WTH--who is that --how did I get here --I did what lol

There were a couple of things that went on. I watched it again and it was when they put the cuffs on her again and they were too tight when she started resisting. On the ground the other officer had her arm in a position she was yelling "you're hurting my arm". The other guy was kneeling on her leg and she was screaming. I didn't see the necessity of throwing her to the ground. It's pretty sad when two men can't handcuff a small woman like that.
