Brobdingnagian Cop v. Lilliputian Skater

Looks like the LAPD has competition.

In Dallas, TX last Friday, a Roller Derby League skater was apparently assaulted by a cop. According to witnesses, the woman was skating to a tattoo parlor when she was stopped by a policeman for jaywalking. After "giving attitude" about getting a ticket, this very petite woman was restrained by a cop that could double as a linebacker. The photos of the incident are unspeakable. Witnesses state that the other cops that arrived on the scene not only failed to restrain their fellow officer, but threatened to arrest onlookers that yelled at them.

The woman was arrested for assaulting an officer, but she was the one with the bloody face.

A few days ago I met Sophia Stewart. She is an african-american that wrote the book "Third Eye" and was plagiarized by the movie the "Matrix".

Thanks Sheri

Nothing like witnesses with mobile phone cameras handy to keep the police (a little more) honest.

"The whole world is watching" has greater meaning these days.
