A Bronx woman is suing the city over a series of loud and frightening police ­concussion bombs that knocked her off her feet.
Monet Oliveras, 40, thought it was just another noisy spring night last April outside her apartment on Taylor Avenue in Van Nest. At about 4 a.m., she tried to shut out the noise by closing her window.
Suddenly, “there was a flash and explosion outside,” Oliveras’ lawyer says in a lawsuit in Manhattan federal court.
“The force of the explosion threw Ms. Oliveras backwards, causing her to hit her head and her back against the wall. Another window in the apartment shattered as a result of the explosion,” the suit says.
A second window broke when another explosion went off. Oliveras says the explosions forced her to lie on the floor of her apartment, sobbing and terrified.
Dizzy, her ears ringing and eyes stinging from vapor and fumes, Oliveras opened her door.
There stood two cops “in full tactical gear with their guns drawn” telling her she had to stay inside.
Oliveras wasn’t arrested and didn’t appear to be the target of the NYPD operation. The police were raiding another apartment nearby.
Oliveras was eventually able to get an ambulance to a hospital, where she was treated for chest pains, a migraine and other ailments. She claims she was forced to stay with family for three weeks, and “continues to feel traumatized” by the incident.
Her lawsuit seeks unspecified damages. The NYPD declined to comment

Lies.  Flash bangs don't throw you across the room.  How would you like to be in a room when it was flash-banged while drinking beer and playing cards?  I can tell you that it will scare the shit out of you; but it certainly won't throw you across the room.
Newton's Third Law, and all.  Her lawsuit is bullshit and if she was aware enough to be a nosy-Nancy, she was neither traumatized or anything else.  Just another shitbag looking for a payout.

And she will still get a few million out of it.

"The low emotional maturity of America's criminal class." Remember that phrase every time you see certain overractions.

1. The "church faint"

2. Getting up and closing the distance with a person over ANY minor disagreement.

3. Pitching yourself to the ground rather than comply with a lawful order from a cop.

4. Zero-to-"loud as fuck" in the blink of an eye, completely losing decibel control over any reason at all.

There are more examples that others may present too.

The sensation of being thrown was probably honest in her mind, but was actually an involuntary reaction because she's a lowlife and overraction is a thing with them. It's practically in their DNA. America's criminal class has never been able to have the "stiff upper lip" and will nearly always overract.
