Dublin, CA — Hui Jie Jin was walking home from the grocery store last year when she says she was attacked by a deputy who “violently threw” her to the ground, knocking her unconscious. The 76-year-old deaf woman wasn’t robbing a store or threatening to harm someone—she was crossing the road in a manner unfit for the police state—otherwise known as jaywalking. Walking across the street in a manner not fit for the police state can often end in serious injury or death — not necessarily because of a car running you over either. The enforcement of jaywalking laws in this country have gone to the extreme and a new lawsuit against the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office proves this notion. According to the SF Chronicle, attorneys for plaintiff Hui Jie Jin laid out the allegations in a lawsuit filed late last week in Northern District of California. The suit claims Jin suffered a permanent brain injury, along with contusions and abrasions, as a result of what her attorneys called an unlawful arrest. Named in the suit as defendants are sheriff’s deputy Phillip Corvello, Alameda County, Alameda County Sheriff Gregory Ahern and the city of Dublin. Deputy Corvello is also contracted to work with the Dublin police department who conducted an internal investigation into the case, according to captain Nate Schmidt. Schmidt explained that jaywalking is not an arrestable offense. However, he said that “there was more than an arrest for jaywalking. Not obeying a lawful order is an arrestable offense, so that’s what we were looking at.” Because of the lawsuit, Schmidt chose not to go any further into detail. However, given that Jin is deaf, the officer likely escalated violence because she could not understand him barking orders at her. Indeed, this is what the lawsuit claims. As the SF Chronicle points out: Jin and Corvello first encountered each other on the morning of July 21, 2017, when Jin was out shopping for groceries. The lawsuit claims that Corvello began yelling at Jin while she was allegedly jaywalking, but because Jin is “profoundly deaf” she couldn’t hear or understand his commands. As Corvello moved closer to her, the suit alleges, Jin pointed to her ear with one hand and waved her hand back and forth with the other to signal that she was deaf. “Despite recognizing that Mrs. Jin could not hear or understand him, Officer Corvello made no attempts to effectively communicate with Mrs. Jin at any point before or during her arrest,” the suit states. Within minutes of Corvello watching an elderly deaf woman cross the road with her groceries, Jin found herself surrounded by police — for jaywalking. As officers arrived, they searched Jin and all of her groceries. During the search, Jin produced her California identification card, disabled senior citizen bus pass, and a handwritten card with the name and phone number of Jin’s daughter for emergencies. According to the lawsuit, Jin was terrified and begged the cops not to hurt her but this was to no avail. “Mrs. Jin was terrified, but at no point did she resist arrest or attempt to flee, nor could she due to her age and disabilities,” the complaint states. Jin prayed and repeatedly bowed in front of Corvello “in order to beg … for mercy and not to hurt her.” However, according to the suit, Corvello was having nothing of it. This elderly deaf woman had been caught jaywalking so he was going to take her down. According to the suit, Corvello then attacked the 76-year-old deaf woman and slammed her to the ground. He then put his boot on her back as she was handcuffed. The trauma was so rough for Jin that she passed out. The suit alleges multiple violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act, negligence, and deprivation of Jin’s civil rights. According to the lawsuit, Jin was given a citation for jaywalking and resisting arrest. However, none of this paperwork exists and no charges were filed, the suit says. Jin is now seeking an unspecified amount in damages and is asking that the department be trained in how not to beat up elderly deaf women for jaywalking. Rest assured that the taxpayers of Alameda County will now be held responsible for the brutal cop who assaulted a 76-year-old woman.

Don't you ever get tire of posting your multiple daily gratuitous "BAD COP!!" threads?? We get it; Cops = BAD. Granny = INNOCENT. Women = INNOCENT. Minoritah = INNOCENT. ALL Bad Cops = WHITE Cops. And nobody EVER purposely baits cops into anything. Because we all know what happened BEFORE the black guy gets shot; BEFORE the smartazz chick was escorted off the beach doesn't count. Guess what?? Granny and Gramps are the SAME dirt bag hippies they USE to be in the 60s. And those with criminal records are NEVER mentioned by MSM reports or youtube. So chyeah. Who cares about REAL news that affect us all -- like ex-CIA sociopath and coup leader Brennen getting his Security Clearance pulled. And the MSM taking the sides of Brennen, Comrades Ocasio and Sanders touring and promoting Communism in the Heartland...and the Dem Party in Vermont nominating a Crossdressing MAN as their Governor. You're soooo concerned for US "Laws" and "Enforcement", eh?? Won't have to worry about it after Commie-fascists like 0bama's minions like Brennen, Clapper and Holder take over. Btw, your "Little Old Lady in Pasadena" jaywalking BIG NEWS must dwarf recent REAL NEWS that the Colorado Baker who WON his case against the homofascists that demanded he bake them their cake.... is ALREADY getting harassed again by homofascist legislators in Colorado.

Party in Vermont nominating a Crossdressing MAN as their Governor Crossdressing Republicans, elected and in the White House. Is this the sort of relevant news that you want?
That really is a shitty deal out there !!! I honestly don't know what the guy can do, besides spend a small fortune in legal fees to fight them again. It will take him a lot of time, and dollars to go through it again. Actually, probably the best thing for him to do would be to pack up and get out of that gay loving state. Too too many gay loving judges are primed and ready to shove their shit down peoples throats. Real damn shame !!!! I really feel sorry for the guy !! Damn liberals just cannot leave people alone !!!
No shit asshole -I posted an article about it days ago. Where the fuck were you then?
Do you mean ALL grandparents or just yours? Contrary to you ignorant opinion, everyone who lived through the sixties was not a hippie. Where do you get this shit from?
