DNC out of control police officer.

I don't care who you are! What the reason! You don't do this to a woman! This guy's career as an an officer of the law will come to a very abrupt end. I and many others will see to it. God I'm pissed!

While I agree with the fact that what the officer did looked wrong, there's almost always a reason behind what someone does. Maybe she pushed the boundaries many times, even though she was asked by POLICE to not do that. The physical contact didn't need to be that harsh though.

Living in Colorado, the police here are generally very understanding and patient. Of course not every cop is the same way. This is probably an isolated incident by a cop that was just tired after the long shifts they have to pull, and the pressure of the DNC.

I personally don't think this is going to happen often. There was even a report on 9News where the protestors said that when the DNC was in session, they'd split up into 2 groups. The group that accepts that they can be arrested (sit-down protesters ) and a group that cannot be arrested (protesters that will simply go home, and are fine with the march alone). It's working out pretty well actually except for this.

Honestly not really going to make a judgement on that...I know that a lot of times people intentionally piss the police off just so they can get movie footage like that.

**TehSpaz** · 08-27-08, 08:33 PM

I think we need a full video.

it seems edited and shit to make it seem worse...lets not assume anything until we know the whole story...

it's like those "skill" video's for different FPS's.....you see them and it's a bunch of short clips of kills and such, but if the guy hit tab, you'd probably see that he never has a positive score.

The officer is accused of manhandling Alicia Forrest to the ground on Tuesday morning as she tried to question the officer. The incident happened as police were trying to gain control after a man was denouncing homosexuality at Civic Center.

Forrest was arrested for interference.

Is that all they are going to give for reason? POLICE STATE 2008. I can't wait tell they bring in the SS troops to Minneapolis/St Paul. This kind of bullshit will not be tolerated.

No real details are usually provided while an incident like this is being investigated.

Not saying he wasn't wrong, but I want to see the however many minutes they cut out to get the 30 seconds they wanted to show.

again, THIS IS NOT THE FULL STORY!

why did they cut out the part where she stands up? I'm guessing she provokes the officer again...

Why can't we see the footage leading up to the action?

I'm just saying, a cop is NOT going to lash out un-provoked....she was IN his FACE in the very beginning...the cops were all asking the protestors to back off. when a cop says back off, YOU BACK THE FUCK OFF!
he hits her with a shotgun...she's lucky she only got knocked back if she was provoking him. male or female, you respect an officer's word and orders.

Also, I looked into the situation.
The police were escorting (for his own safety) a pastor who was going to speak at the Civic Center.
"Alicia Forrest was arrested outside Civic Center after confronting officers and asking them questions about another arrest they were making, said Sally Newman, legal liaison and spokeswoman for the group."
Yeah, don't question an officer either.
If someone is banned on the server, do you sit there and ask them "Hey! admin! wtf! why are you banning him!!" the admin isn't going to sit there and discuss it with you...he's gonna do the same to you, and continue his job.....same damn thing here.

The group she's with, Code Pink, is known across the board for anti-American outcries, and was actually started by a communist.
Here's a video showing some of their less-than-bright members:
