I think guilty of DUI is a real possibilty.
If you use plain clothes officers: they should have their badge and ID readily available. They should show it to any person that asks. As far as the whole struggle, whatever. But, why would you cut another person's property? I can see it if it is say a seatbelt that needs to be cut. A shirt to put AED pads on. But a coat cuff to apply handcuffs, when 3 officers are present? NO. |

Quoted: Guilty of doing absolutely nothing. Boy, she'll be quite rich before too long. Possibly Guilty of DUI, Resist/Obstruct/Delay, and attempt Assault With Deadly Weapon (the car). But the cop is still a dumb-ass product of Michigan's very flawed Law Enforcement officer training and selection process. Fortunately she only lost a finger tip, according to the article, as opposed to an entire finger as the inflamitory title of this thread suggests. |

yes, I agree...anyone who could conceivably be found guilty of anything should have their digits forcibly removed by a cop. This is true whether or not there is any probable cause, the charge is a felony or misdemeanor or the officer feels its necessary to elicit the proper degree of respect for his or her authority. After all, it's perfectly reasonable to start cutting up a suspect if they squirm, illegal arrest or not...especially such violent felons such as this one who was DUI, Aggravated assault w/ a vehicle, resisting arrest, obstructing justice, abetting terrorism and proabbly parking illegally.
As to actual guilt here, I would only point out that guilt has nothing to do with arrest. If you are guilty as sin and there is no "reasonable suspicion" or "probable cause" depending on the nature of the search or seizure, then it is illegal. Conversely, guilt is not required to effect an arrest, search or seizure. I seem to vaguely recall something about innocent until proven guilty in a court of law or something about a presumption of innocence? maybe not |

Cop's are just making it harder and harder for themselves. This guy sounds like some of the ego trip power hungry cops we have around here. I'm not saying all cop's are bad. But it's not a surprise that most black people are afraid to stop for cop's anymore. You would be too, get your finger cut off, because you want to see some ID before you obey a person in street clothes.
$1000 says she is black and the officer is white. Any takers? She's gonna be rich. |

That lady had to be cuffed, for her own safety! There was no time to ask for assistance from the other officers! The situation was dire and required quick thinking, this dangerous woman was capable of anything. I mean, she goes from just standing a parking lot minding her own business to attempting to murder a police officer. What the fuck is wrong with these citizens? They shouldn't ask questions. She was standing around dangerously and we should applaud these fine officers for their proactive policing. I mean, we can't have loitering going on in our communities, can we?

All cops lie, all cops are human, none come out to tell the truth when they know it.(thats lying) Unless someone they missed got away with a photo and publishes the photo. Birds of a feather, flock together, your either cop or not. Cops get to go to the station to make up their lie while you in jail, and say " I identified my self as a police officer I had police written on my back and he tried to run me over" Who you going to beleive?

First, I don't think with THREE officers, that a knife was necessary at all... the link even says that they had her on the ground, with one hand cuffed and her other hand inside the sleeve/under her body.
So, mr police officer is worried she is going for a weapon... lets see... 1. let go with one of my hands. 2. grab my kife (perhaps open/unsheath) 3. let go with my OTHER hand. 4. grab w/ free hand her left hand/sleeve. 5. use knife to start chopping the cloth material of her sleeve. Why not just have one of the other FOUR hands available (from the other 2 officers) help him hold her oh-so-dangerous left arm/sleeve? And how is it that he manages to cut completely thru her whole finger and not notice? A cloth jacket and bone are pretty different materials... Before this even happened... they need to give a good reason to mess with her in the first place. A van sitting in a bar parking lot... (from the article) lady is waiting for others to leave the bar, so it's not like the bar's closed down or anything. This, IMO, is just wrong. Even if she hadn't lost her fingertip (and had her middle finger cut up too), What right did the guy have to start cutting up her jacket? Is there a rule that now only 1 of ever 3 officers can attempt to handcuff a person? |

When you make a traffic stop, the car is at the side of the road. How difficult is it to take a couple of sideways steps to avoid it? A car can't maneuver like a human. Or better yet, position yourself at the side of the car to begin with. I have to say it. Your post scares me. |

I took that to mean the bone right around the top knuckle, or by some freak of nature it went thru the joint itself and popped the two bones apart, only damaging ligaments and flesh.

Much quicker than pulling the Glock! I agree. In fact our written policy is to NEVER under any circumstances walk or stand between your own patrol car and the suspect vehilce. Unfortunately suspects do some really stupid stuff, like stopping in the middle lane of a multi-lane freeway, or pulling into an Alley or narrow parking lot. Most times the suspect is doing this becuase he is nervous, stupid, or impaired. Sometimes he is doing it to deliberately set you up. Then you have to improvise in where you position yourself during the stop. In front of or behind the suspect vehicle are the two worst places you can be. Yet sometimes that's where cops find themselves. |

In your opinion, at what point is it okay to defend myself against a assault with a 2000 pound club? After I've been struck? If the engine was off, and now its on, I'm behind the vehilce, and the backup lights just came on, I've waited long enough. |

Just a few names from the past to bring this subject a little more clarity.
Drew Bolan, Austin Police. Run over by a drunk and killed. Went to his funeral. Ricky Hunter. Austin Police. Deliberately run over and killed by fleeing felon traveling over 100 mph. Went to his funeral. Albert Muniz. Austin Police. Run over ambush style, when crossing street. Been in a coma for over a year, pretty much no brain function, will never wake up. Suspects never caught. I have 6 other names, all people I know, who are medically retired or had extended (1+ years) medical rehab before coming back to work, all because some dick tried to take them out with a car. I have a motor officer friend in the hospital right now because the guy stopped and then backed over him before he could get off the bike. Crushed his leg. I have been VERY lucky twice. First time the only thing that kept me alive was the ability to fall over a Jersey barrier backwards. Damn right I'm going to shoot you. Every round in the gun is headed right for the back of your head. |

I back AR15fan 100%. If a person understands enough to put the car in park and cut the ignition, I'd assume they understand not to turn it back on and try to run over a police officer. That said, I'd probably step out of the way/duck if I hear the engine starting, and would fire at the car and/or person if I deemed they posed a significant threat.

Johninaustin, that makes a VERY good point. It is a reality and should be properly dealt with to avoid things like this. A person attempting to run you over evidently has murderous intent, and if the situation calls for it you should return that intent just as forcefully.
