"The amount of force used was abominable," the woman's attorney, Cade Bernsen, told Yahoo News. The incident was captured by security cameras at the Jasper, Texas, police headquarters. Keyarika "Shea" Diggles, 25, was brought to the jail on May 5 for an unpaid fine, according to Bernsen. He said she was was on the phone with her mother trying to arrange to get the $100 owed when Officer Ricky Grissom cut off the call. There's no audio on the video, but Diggles and Grissom were apparently arguing when Officer Ryan Cunningham comes in behind Diggles and attempts to handcuff her. When she appears to raise her hand, Cunningham grabs Diggles by the hair and slams her head into a countertop. The officers wrestle Diggles to the ground before dragging her by her ankles into a jail cell. "She got her hair pulled out, broke a tooth, braces got knocked off ... it was brutal," Bernsen said. Diggles was charged with resisting arrest for arguing with the officers, a charge dropped on Monday, according to Bernsen.

We get it. You hate cops. How many of these are you going to post tonight? Couldn't you at least consolidate them into one topic maybe?

I think one thread for each act of roid-rage stupidity in uniform is totally warranted. I don't hate cops and I think this is a very important topic to point out each and every time it happens.
My father-in-law responded to the Garner video by saying "Well, why did he wave his hands around?" as if that justified getting murdered. To the Micheal Brown case, he said "he robbed that store so he deserved it".
WTF is wrong with people?! By that rationale, every twelve year old stealing a pack of gum should be executed on the spot. Ridiculous.
