Saving a person's life by rushing them to the hospital after they've been shot should not be a punishable offense much less get you beaten and kidnapped. However, for OyZhana Williams, who dropped a man at the emergency room who'd just been shot, that is exactly what happened-thanks to Aurora police officers. Now, however, because of a defunct system, the taxpayers-not the officers-will be held accountable for the abuse.
Last year, Williams, 23, filed an excessive force lawsuit against the Aurora police department whose officers, Sergeant Michal Hawkins, Jordan Odneal, and Jose Ortiz, were seen on video allegedly choking, slamming and stomping the innocent woman just before making up bogus charges against her, according to the lawsuit.
Adam Frank, an attorney for Williams said in a statement on Tuesday that the settlement of $335,000 illustrates what happens when police officers fail to recognize their own emotions and cannot de-escalate tense situations, according to the
Denver Post."It's the ultimate case of contempt of cop," Frank said.
"It's obvious the most dangerous thing you can do is not break any laws but make a cop mad at you."
Comment: Twitter continues to show it's allegiance to deep state interests and the nonsensical fantasies they're creating. How much longer will people continue to tolerate such a politicized platform? See more:
