Wow, she was SUPER nice and very articulate! To think they felt it was necessary to choke hold her, cover he head, restrain her arms and taze / torture the crap out of her is mindblowing disturbing!

I want to point out that even if she had not been that nice this would not have been okay.

1. Why do they have a bag over her head?

Terrifying. Who did she kill and eat to justify that kind of police behavior?

5. I think it's a spit bag? nt

4. I left reviews with both the Boulder County Sheriff's Department and

Boulder County Sheriff's Office. You can call them too. Also, call the mayor of Boulder. https://bouldercolorado.gov/city-council/council-member-suzanne-jones

24. Thank you!

6. Here is my message to the mayor of Boulder

Her email: [e-mail]

Need to clean house at the Sheriff's Department ASAP! The video is horrifying!

Our entire office watched the full unedited video of the kind and articulate woman who was harassed and tortured by the Sheriff's Office thugs. All of us were horrified at the behavior of the officers!  There is NO excuse for this brutal, angry, completely incompetent horrific behavior!  The Chief saying they used minimal force is so absurd it's absolutely makes me want to vomit. I had tears in my eyes watching the torture of a completely restrained woman being treated worse than most terrorists.  Get the hell into the public eye and condemn this torture in the strongest of terms and fire EVERYONE on the video and the chief immediately! 
This is terrifying and  we would feel safer if everyone else in the video was restrained instead OTHER than the kind woman.  

Sincerely, left blank and our entire office. 

Sincerely,

[somaticexperiencing]

25. Thank you!

26. I am so sick of seeing male cops yank women back by their hair. Also, they were so

rough when monopolizing her head that I was afraid they would break her neck!

[Ferrets are Cool]

3. K and R for views

What a fucking joke/horror show this country has become.

[Pachamama]

7. I feel sick watching this

We are a police state

[Jarqui]

8. I had to stop watching it. Too distressing. nt

[chillfactor]

18. then DO something!

Call the mayor's office or send an email...I did!

[chillfactor]

19. then DO something!

Call the mayor's office or send an email...I did!

[Haggis for Breakfast]

9. This is unconscionable treatment.

I hope she has a lawyer. At NO time did she engage in any treatment that required this level of abuse. At one point, there are SEVEN police officers there. There is NO justification for this.

And law enforcement wonders why people are terrified of and repulsed by cops today . . . .

[Quixote1818]

10. If you have time call the mayor or contact the Sheriff's office

I give numbers in the OP. Thanks

[BigOleDummy]

11. Sure would

like to know what was in the "Audio deleted by Sheriff's Office" parts.

[Quixote1818]

12. Probably something like "Hey, lets make up a story about her saying she wants to hang herself

so we can have a great excuse to torture her."

[usaf-vet]

27. EXACTLY! Why did they cut the audio. So we couldn't hear her NOT say anything about suicide.

[tomhagen]

13. The Torture is a far more serious Crime; than having an unleashed dog and smoking.

[joanbarnes]

14. What 'crime' did she commit to get arrested?

[Quixote1818]

16. Having her service dog off its leash. However, the arrest was because she refused to sign the ticket

I think any law that requires people to sign something or else they will go to jail is a fucked up law even if it is not admitting guilt.

[robbob]

15. Will call in the AM

Very disturbing. I suggest anyone who watches this video call the numbers in the OP.

[chillfactor]

17. sent an email to the mayor's office

have we become a police state where anyone wearing a badge can resort to this kind of police abuse? The video had me in tears. Has the mayor's office and the police department sold their hearts and souls to the devil?

[safeinOhio]

20. Guards always go by the book...

and they know every loop hole. I've known a few and they sit around all day thinking about how they can screw inmates. On the other hand it goes both ways.

[tomhagen]

21. Rule 1; always zip the lip and play dumb; they don't like intelligence.

[LiberalLovinLug]

23. They also don't like it when a perp talks to them as equals.

And has a point. ie...she was being calm and reasonable at first. There was no need to treat her like that.

What is with it taking more than 3 hours to find out from the arresting officer the charge? She was clearly a person that had had enough. One quip about maybe she'd kill herself, or whatever she said, obviously said out of frustration as a bad joke, was the legal excuse they used to escalate their abuse against her.

Now I think she also was not smart about it. You are correct, play dumb and meek. Satisfy the cops there (not all of them) that have that need to be assured of their dominant position against you by seeing you bow to them. Just do it. It will be over sooner. And while I admire her spirit and her willingness to speak truth to power, she did push the limits. Her anger got the best of her. She was probably someone that has had very limited experience with the police and their powers. Yes, as a citizen you have rights, but once you enter the system....even as she did, in the most benign way, by refusing to sign a ticket for walking her service dog without a leash, and smoking in a no smoking area. Then there is a protocal, which may be different in various stations. In this one it was...we put you in a holding cell until the arresting officer details the charges. Presumedly to determine if the charges involve any kind of violence etc. So I can understand that policy. But WTF is it with the stewing for three hours in that cell?

I had to look up the story to find the actual charges.

https://www.insideedition.com/woman-sues-police-after-she-was-tasered-while-in-a-restraint-chair-57097

But smoking and having your service dog off leash...which she insisted was allowed, should have been quickly relayed to the station, if not right when she got there. she had every reason to be upset having to wait, especially worrying about her dog who she could have used at that point. What the hell was the arresting officer doing all that time? I thought she handled herself pretty good. But things go much better if you just cooperate, and then afterwords, if needed, get a lawyer and sue. She didn't do herself any favours.

[Cartaphelius]

22. Just where is Joe Kenda?

I don't think he would have sanctioned, let alone participated in
such horrendous and unprofessional behaviour.

Obviously the victim wasn't rich enough to afford more amicable treatment.

Was she a whistleblower?

America! The new Russia!

[mudstump]

28. Fucking unbelievable! Fire all of them.

I hope this woman owns them all when this is done.
