What happens when a little league coach calls a heckler at a girl's basketball game a "dick"? Well, when that heckler is an off-duty cop, she ends up arrested and facing three years in prison! Jessica Curs, the 31-year-old mother and veteran youth league coach, is crying foul, and the local police department is firing back.
Now, Curs is taking to the media to tell her story. She first discussed the incident
Monday on KTXA TV in Dallas. The very next day, the Alvarado police chief Brad Anderson posted
a victim-blaming 1,100-word Facebook post which he has since deleted (see full text below) which criticized KTXA for telling the victim's side of things.
What everyone knows for sure is that when the incident happened, Curs was coaching a 4th grade girls' basketball game. Her team was the Burleson Youth Association and they were playing against Alvarado. These two cities of Burleson and Alvarado, are about 10 miles apart with a classic rivalry.
Alvarado police captain Gary Melson was there keeping score. He was sitting right behind Curs, on the side that had been reserved just for coaches. Melson was in street clothes, off duty. He sat there the whole time heckling Curs.
Curs said Melson offered a snide comment to a call.
Comment: This 'blame the victim' mentality has become our official culture due to the impact of psychopaths on society.
