Pregnant Women Hit, Pepper-Sprayed By Police, Miscarries

[Killuah]

[QUOTE=Dopey Trout;33525822]But where is the line drawn? When is the small percentage of so called "isolated incidents" broken down and shown that despite the ease of throwing out terms like "bad eggs" and "inevitable problem", there really is something wrong with a system that allows this to continue happening, even in isolated cases?

I'm neither opposed nor agreeing with the police. Their job is difficult that is true, but they should be trained and screened properly so they can deal with it. It won't do to simply sweep incidents like this under the carpet[/QUOTE]

Of course you can't catch every bad egg in the hatch but the important thing here is that you still try to. That's how it works.

After reading this, I no longer respect law enforcement.

I am taking all this with a big grain of salt. I mean, if this story was true or reliable, then everyone would be talking about it about the time I made this thread. Nothing came of it, it got even less coverage than the war veteran. It seems kind of suspicious to me.

You shouldn't believe everything you read. This story is ridiculously made up, and to be honest, I'm disappointed by the massive number of people who blindly believed her story only because it supported their cause.

1. She's apparently apparently a homeless teen who drinks. That alone should be enough to make you doubt her story without proof.
2. [url=http://www.thestranger.com/images/blogimages/2011/11/22/1322006482-spd_squatter_pregnant.pdf]According to an anonymous tip, she is woman in this report. If that's true, she used her pregnancy to avoid jail atleast once.[/url]
3. She still has not provided any evidence from the hospital saying she miscarried because of the Police. She has been asked numerous times to provide hospital records and declined.
4. No formal complaint of any kind has been made to the Police over her miscarriage.

Simply put, she's a liar.

Basically. It seemed true enough when I posted it, but my lack of skepticism was probably increased from wanting another martyr.

I feel bad. Close thread?

These Occupy Protests are getting too dangerous. NEVER participate in a protest if there are already stories of people getting pepper-sprayed and beaten. This has been going on for weeks. I'm sad to say it, but the woman really had a chance to prevent this and didn't take it. Sorry, but when you're pregnant, the economy is not nearly important as your fetus.

This was all over the local news for a week here in Seattle. Her family came forward and said she's a compulsive liar, and claimed to have been pregnant earlier this year.

Welp.

[QUOTE=darkedone02;33382476]if that happen to my future wife carrying my child... I will fucking kill the cop... literately the most bloodiest way possible and bathe in his blood... this is so fucking beyond the line.

edit: now the people who voted me dumb are either stupid or retarded. Let see how you guys like it if this child was yours and a corrupted officer forcefully cause a miscarriage...[/QUOTE]

Okay honestly, yes what happened is horrendously awful and I would not be able to rest until the cop's career is destroyed, but an eye for an eye doesn't work.
