Oh, bull. He assaulted a disabled woman who is clearly impaired.According to the lawsuit, Parks disregarded Brown's repeated statements that her injuries prevented her from putting her arm behind her back, as the officer had ordered. The lawsuit says Parks ignored Brown's efforts to tell him about the documents she had with her that described her condition....
"We're not defending it as best practice," Pishko said. However, "Officer Parks didn't know he was dealing with a citizen who was brain-injured.... All he knew was she was noncompliant and agitated." [More]
She was not endangering him in any way. And who wouldn't be agitated with an irritating agitator like this bullying "Only One" treating you like a hostage because you were hula hooping, that is pursuing happiness...?
