(10,622 posts)is that the officer didn't charge her with resisting arrest and assaulting a PO. Where I lived most of my life, that was the bonus prize for getting your ass kicked for their amusement, resisting is the prize for bruised flesh and ribs, as well as joint pain torture (a favorite way for them to get their jollies); assaulting an officer was the prize for broken ribs and concussions as well as shoulder dislocations, broken wrists or broken ribs resulting from their "fun", the charge is as serious as needed to justify their "self protection". The police reports are works of poorly written fiction that everyone in court knows are lies but that are accepted as gospel nonetheless.
I suppose they behave differently to rich white guys in suits, or those living in posh neighborhoods; I can't speak to that as I am not rich and don't wear a suit, my neighborhood was multiracial and very poor, we learn at an early age that you run if you see a cop, it doesn't matter that you've done nothing, what matters is they are more dangerous than the drug dealers.
