Vermont teen accuses police of sexual assault after arrest

[Lee-Lee]

14. For all those answers:

1: Full video not edited for time

https://m.

2: The cop was not escalating the matter. When the woman was jumping toward him and acting erratically while making statements about running away she escalated things and gave officers more than enough justification to cuff her at that point. Actually, when she grabbed the bong off the roof of the car and tossed it inside the car that alone was her escalating it and more than enough reason to put her in cuffs for the duration of the stop right there for interference with the officers performing their duties in the stop. They actually showed pretty good restraint in not cuffing her much earlier.

3: it clearly shows she is resisting arrest. Do you see how long it takes them to get her cuffed? Cuffing a person who is not resisting takes a few seconds. It takes much longer because she is resisting. Do you see how she's moving all around? That attempting to make it hard to cuff her, not part of the cuffing- that is resisting. Do you see how she refuses to get into the police car and has to be forced into the car? That's resisting.

Claims her actions were not resisting are clearly not backed up by the video. When someone isn't resisting you can cuff them in 10 seconds and get them in the car in 20. She clearly was resisting both.

4: The angle of the footage doesn't show if she is kicking or not. But given that her behavior there and the fact that the video shows her allegations to all be false so far and the officers to be consistent with the video I'll side with the ones proven to have been honest so far. Maybe they will release the dash cam too for a wider view.

5: Dash cam will have at least an audio recording of what happened in the car, some
Have rearward facing video. Hopefully it's released soon.

The cops were not trying at all to escalate it. They in fact could have cuffed and arrested her well before they did. When she was trying to argue they didn't engage in the argument to further enrage or encourage it but just said they were not going to argue. They left her uncuffed until she started jumping at them while making threats to run from them. There was only one party trying to escalate it, her, and the cops reacted appropriately and withgreat restraint.
