In reply to the discussion: About that young lady the cop brutally attacked over the pool party.... [View all]happyslug
(14,779 posts)The officer told them, they were under arrest for getting up with a lot of other people after he had told all of them to lay down in the grass, but the rest escaped but they were caught. Sorry, that is the law, if an officer tells you to do something, you MUST obey that order. If the order is illegal that can be challenged in court, but NOT on the street.
As to the "Felony Assault" the VIDEOS only show the tell end of the all women fight, not how it started thus we have only the report of one African American Female that said it was an attack on the 19 year old African American (That is NOT to say it is untrue, but that is all we have in evidence at the present time).
Furthermore people are under the LEGAL DUTY TO AVOID CONFRONTATION, thus they have not only the right but THE DUTY to leave. In simple terms the white women leaving the scene is not only legal but required in most cases.
AS to the 19 year old's arrest, it is unclear WHY she was arrested, but interfering with a Law Enforcement Officer in performance of his duties appears to apply. Don't argue with the Police, wait to go in front of a Judge to do such argument.
