Scruit Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/us/2013/10/31/dnt-officer-charged-in-alleged-dui-suspect-abuse.wgnskokie-police-department-cassandra-feuerstein.html Discuss? I think it's pretty clear that the officer needs to be charged for this... I'd like to see any video supporting the officer's assertion that the lady was resisting, because the video inside the cell is pretty damning. I'd also like to see video of other officers placing people in cells. Is that push normal or abnormal? Are they trained to push to prevent the person immediately turning and trying to get back out the door? Or was he pushing her because he lost his cool with her? At this point I'm 99% that he should be convicted - leaving 1% for the possibility of new evidence. The dept needs to pay for her medical costs etc. I wonder what the cop thought when he saw the extent of her injuries. Facial fractures requiring a titanium plate and reconstructive surgeries. "Might as well turn my badge and gun in right now." A person doesn't quit being a person just because they are in jail. They are still to be treated as human beings.

DerekClouser Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 The definite issue is the fact he has her arms restrained temporarily, preventing her from ability of protecting herself while falling. That's an extreme abuse of power... normally any other person would have been able to brace the fall with their hands to minimize damage. This should be considered as well while adding to his charges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snot Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 If she wouldn't of broke the law she wouldn't be in jail and she wouldn't of been a "victim".Seriously I am sure there is more to the story. No one should be abused in jail by an officer for no reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCinci Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Is before or after the sodomy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snot Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) No I don't believe the cop is right. I do think he has his reasons and doubt they are good. He probably does this all the time and final was caught because she got hurt. He should pay for his crime.At some point most people break the law usually its speeding.

scottb Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 The officer's attorney at the end indicated that she "ignored a lawful order" or something along those lines. Well, if she was drunk, ( indicated she was arrested for DUI) she probably did not process that too well.Still does not give the officer the right to overly force the woman into the cell.I understand that officer may push the people into the cell so they don't turn around and fight or try to run out. Not sure a drunk female would have the balance or ability to fight or flee.I would like to see more video of before the "cell pushing" to decide, but just that bit of video did seem excessive force.

speedytriple Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Thats what she gets for leaving the kitchen. J/K If she was resisting arrest why was she not in cuffs when they were taking her into the cell. And kinda funny he needed that much force to place a drunk female into a cell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricochet Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I worked in a county jail for 4 yrs and in 2 different state prisons for over 4 yrs and in those 8 yrs, I never had to shove an inmate in a cell.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
