But how many will believe it?
That's not really how the story went. First of all, the kid and his father both claim he didn't run the stop sign (it wasn't a light). Not that I expect anyone to believe either of them, but that's what they claim. Second of all, according to the father and son, the Officer became absolutely apoplectic about the fact that the father wanted to witness the interaction the officer was having with his son. The father offered to stay in his car, and therefore out of the way. The officer refused to allow it, handcuffed the father, and threw him into the back of the police car. He was never charged with a crime, and according to his statement, in no way threatened or confronted the officer. Again, I know better than to imagine 99% of the people in this forum will believe any of that, but the point was to let TheDuchess know that yes, stories about OW do exist, contrary to what she previously believed.
I think it is common sense that anyone, anyone who was arrested by LE would feel that if they complained the officer might try to get even by giving you a ticket every time you blinked. That is nothing new for anyone. We all feel the same way. And it is why many people, regardless of who they are, will not report LE if they believe they were mistreated. Does not mean they were, does not mean LE would try and get even. It's just a fear everyone has BECAUSE cops are human, too.
very interesting info here:

It is not just Senator Nadal, other guests and locals who call in.
Nadal poo-poos a local resident who was criticizing the protestors. Rudely so. She is very arrogant in this interview.
" We are trying to keep people calm..." SHE KEEPS SAYING THIS AND IT IS BALONEY...grrrrrrr
" And that is the role I take in these crowd situations, to try and calm things down.

Senator Nadal : 'eyes on Ferguson'
"I did ask the chief to shut down the street on Saturday, and he said NO. And that was frustrating. We were trying to protest and we were being shackled and thrown to the ground...are you kidding me? We want respect. We are American citizens and we are not treated as such. "
" And that is the role I take in these crowd situations, to try and calm things down. " { YOU are a calming influence? ARE U SERIOUS?}
activist:"Harry Belafonte says if your going to do it, go all out-have unemployed people come down and make noise and protest and bother the police and flood the jails..... "
"The police are bullies--very frustrating the way they get so aggressive. I was tear gassed and shot 4 or 5 times with rubber bullets. If anyone is an urban terrorist it is them, not us."
Our police department doesnt use or possess tear gas, rubber bullets, stingers or any of the items used during protest.
She said something in the middle of the interview, that I think is another baldfaced lie, like 'the KKK driver running over 3 protestors...'
She says early in the interview, something about one of her 'constituents' being arrested and 'shackled and handcuffed' for nothing, 'just being on the sidewalk' [sure]--
then later, she beefs it up a bit, and says the woman was shackled, and knocked over by the cops, ' And SHE BROKE HER BACK.." [really? ]
LOL!!! Too funny!
But the sad thing is, that it's all video taped - we can all see what really happened and STILL people agree with her! OMG
I read on one of her tweeties someone said if she ran for president, they'd vote for her :jawdrop:
12:01:00 Wilson encounters MB & DJ (estimated based on travel time of 1/2 mile from Glenark to Canfield)
12:01:50 Disturbance call on Canfield Dr. (page 14)
12:02:22 Second officer arrives Canfield (page 15)
<snip>
12:11:38 Piaget first video starts
You haven't heard anything that CMac has said that might explain why no report is EVER filed?
My parents taught me to roll down my window just enough to hand my license and insurance to the officer and kindly inform him I have nothing else to tell him. Sometimes that doesn't go over too smooth.
So.... the first Piaget video doesn't even start until 10 1/2 minutes after OW encounters MB & DJ? And 9 minutes after the second officer arrives on scene? She claims to have seen the entire incident, but she never started recording until more than 10 minutes later?
Are you kidding me? Nevermind. You're right. No one should investigate potential bad acts of OW in the past.
