Texas Cop Who Assaulted and Arrested Innocent Woman Has Been Charged With Assault and Arrested
Just when you think the law enforcement industry has few-to-no internal checks and/or balances, a department up and surprises you by arresting one of its own for breaking the law. That's the case in San Marcos, Texas, anyway, where a patrolman was arrested today for assaulting a pedestrian.
According to KVUE, Cpl. James Palermo of the San Marcos PD was conducting a traffic stop around 1 a.m. on May 29 when a pedestrian happened to walk by his patrol car and the car of the driver Palermo had pulled over (for driving the wrong way down a one-way street). What happened next isn't all that uncommon in the annals of Cops Who Like to Throw Their Weight Around:
A pedestrian walking by was called over by Palermo and asked why she was walking by his traffic stop. He then asked for the woman’s identification.
When the woman insisted she had done nothing wrong Palermo slammed her against the Prius; then onto the concrete driveway near his patrol car.

I've never believed that Trayvon ran up on Z to throw the "first punch."
Simply because the only person who wanted a confrontation from the get-go was Zimmerman his damn self. He, of course, was determined to reach Martin and confront him about why he was in the complex and to prevent him from getting away before the police arrived.
It's not like Zimmerman had just popped out of thin air to get his face smashed in by some suddenly violent Black "thug." He accosted the kid and it turned into that tragic struggle.
Trayvon was a young person in fear of his life, especially after Rachel suggested that he was being followed by a grown man rapist. But forget about Trayvon's moment of fear for his own life, because by "law" he forfeited any right of self-defense the very moment Z pulled his gat, put it square in Trayvon's chest and pulled the trigger.
Apparently, the jurors wouldn't mind if their own children were stalked in the dark and the rain by a hot head with a gun and a "good heart," like George Zimmerman.
After all, if they ended up dead, according to their juror parents, it's their own damn fault because they resisted when some creepy-assed vigilante stalked after them in an attempt to secure the safety of the neighborhood.
Oh yeah, and we're supposed to believe everything that Mister Gunman says, no matter how self-serving and ridiculous it sounded.
Did I mention that it's all part of "God's Plan?" Self-determination and ultimate responsibility when you take an innocent life is not-withstanding.
If all of this sounds fucking nuts, that's because it really is.
