A woman brought in on suspected DUI is cuffed then beaten. A camera is on during the beginning of the incident, but then turned off. When it is turned back on, the woman is lying on the floor in a pool of blood. Somehow a police spokesperson characterizing it as standard procedure, insisting the woman ‘hurt herself’ while resisting.
I wonder what happened...
The Civil Service Board ruled that Willis’ rights, under the Police Officer Bill of Rights, were violated because an expert failed to record a polygraph examination Willis took as part of the Police Department’s investigation into Garbarino’s injuries, including two black eyes and a broken nose. Willis asks if the camera is on before turning it off. When he turns the camera on again, Garbarino is beaten and bloody.
The City of Shreveport has reached a $400,000 out-of-court settlement with a Mooringsport woman who claims she was injured while being booked on a DWI charge in November 2007.
The city also agreed Friday to drop all charges against Angela Garbarino, city attorney Terri Scott said. In turn, she said, Garbarino and her attorney Gary Bowers have agreed not to pursue any legal action against the city or the former officer involved, Wiley Willis.
Talks began about 9 a.m. Friday and resulted in an agreement by midafternoon.
The settlement is not an admission of guilt by either the city or Garbarino, Scott said.

Many will come to this thread though and bash the police, most probably won't even watch the video.

The cop got her to sit down and she said that she would be compliant, so he turned off th video to save it as evidence. Being that she was intoxicated and obviously not going to listen to the officer, she tried to get up again and that's when she more than likely fell.
I'm sure her story of police brutality only came in to play once she found out tha the video had been turned off and there was no evidence of her behaviour during the time in question.
Of course her lawyers are going to say that she wasn't drunk or that she had not been drinking at all. Because it's only going to make the case look that much better to the public and jury.

He was laid off for a time , but now he's back , he was reinstated
