Just a few bad apples

    1. POS gate agent calls police because someone asked him if she could take a different flight.

    2. Multiple POS Austin PD officers arrest someone for trespassing who is in an airport with a valid ticket.

    3. Multiple POS Travis County Jail officers commit physical and sexual assault and theft on an deaf lady who had violated no law. A lawsuit isn't enough. There should criminal charges for these abusers.

    4. At this point it takes dozens of POS's for not a single one of them to provide basic medical care to a clearly injured 71 year old. As a friend of mine who was in the army and has been in combat pointed out regarding a similar incident "We took better care of our enemies who had been trying to kill us moments before".

    At no point in this whole process was there a single "good apple" whatsoever among anyone she encountered, yet I'm constantly told that 99% of them are such. It doesn't add up.

    I don’t understand why she was arrested at the airport. What was her behavior?

    This will be an interesting thread because this board is usually very reluctant to believe the one sided media depiction of a story. They are pretty anti-police, so while this may be actually how this occurred, we don't really know.

    Having a very close relative who is deaf, I am very sympathetic and empathetic to this situation. However, again, it is funny to see here and some wise crack in other threads already about how terrible the police are here based on the media depiction.

    It says there is video, but I didn't see it.

    I hope there is more to the story. Sounds very bizarre.

    Obviously looks bad. I can't imagine a scenario worth arresting a 71 year old woman, but since an airline employee called the police on her, we're missing what her behavior was. The jailer breaking her arm isn't going to get very far with why that had to occur.

    Dallas police sued over violent arrest – after realising they had the wrong person

    Silvester Hayes was out buying food for his kids when cops jumped him and arrested him. He was not fighting them but they still threw him to the ground and knelt on top of him as he pleaded for him. They quickly realized they had the wrong guy and this was just somebody else with a similar name. Rather than admit their mistake, they made up charges after the fact to try and avoid being investigated for wrongful arrest. They found a gun in his car - legally registered, came back clear. They charged him with illegal possession anyway. The lied and said he resisted arrest so they could add that to the charges.

    In other words, the whole group of cops unanimously agreed to deliberately ruin the life of a man that they all knew was innocent. He lost his job, his car, his home, and his kids. He faces an uphill battle just to get ANY sort of recourse for what they did to him because the laws are so biased in favor of law enforcement, despite body cam audio and video making it evident what happened. He was a security guard who, before being of a victim of these crimes, dreamed of being a cop himself. Not surprisingly, he no longer wants to become that.

    If that's all true, I hope he gets one heck of a payday.
