Simple question then. If it's wrong, then why isn't the city being sued by the family of the 15 year old? Why instead are they suing the cop, the mall, and the security company that is paying the cop?

Because if they admit that the officer was acting in an official capacity, he has qualified immunity from civil suit. They don't think they can win suing the city.

Look at the Complaint. The Complaint does not appear to raise any constitutional challenge or to assert any challenge to the arrest regarding probable cause. The city already acted to clear Officer Williams and stated he could have lawfully used more force.

The Complaint alleges Negligence; Assault; and Outrage against Officer Williams.

Rather than give her information, the young lady decided to give a ration of shit and pedal away.

Without audio, how do you know this to be the case?

The video and her statement to KOMO News in 2015.

On further review, she may not have been trying to leave the scene, but only dismount from the bike, perhaps first manuvering out from between the 2 cops. If she was trying to leave, she certainly didn't try to get a jump start on them.

Tasered teen: 'It felt like electricity running through my veins'

[excerpt]

Before the officer could write anything down, Tillman admits she tried to ride away. That's when he grabbed her.

Is there any audio recording of the discussion that took place before she tried to leave?

But not unilaterally.

Yes, unilaterally. The owner, or his agents, did not need permission from anyone to disinvite the yoots.

They cannot banish for a purpose such as discrimination.

Check out video at about 1:06. You'll see he's got his other arm (right) which does appear to be at the girl's throat.

At 1:06 it is too fuzzy for me to clearly see. At 1:07 it appears his hand is on her throat. At 1:08 it appears his hand has been lowered to approximately where it is seen at 1:18.

I was referring not to her riding away, but to your assessment that she gave the cop a "ration of shit" first.

Is there any audio recording of the discussion that took place before she tried to leave?

There is no audio. There is video. And there is the police report. And the 2015 KOMO newspaper article.

Tasered teen: 'It felt like electricity running through my veins'

The officer looks to take out a note pad to write down information. Tillman said she didn't have identification and thought she was being racially profiled and told the officer that. Before the officer could write anything down, Tillman admits she tried to ride away. That's when he grabbed her.

"I did have a bit of an attitude, but that's because it was a waste of my time. I hadn't done anything wrong," she said.

The police report described the kids cutting off cars earlier, swearing and yelling at anyone who honked at them, and that the mall wanted them stopped and given a trespassing notice.

"I felt like they just see me as some black kid wanting to cause problems or something. And it was nothing like that," said the 11th grader.

The report claims Tillman, who says she's a straight A student at Bates Technical High School, became belligerent, swearing, screaming, and resisting until she was Tased by the Tacoma officer.

Or, as Matt Agorist puts it in the main thread article,

Knowing they’d done nothing wrong, Monique attempted to explain to the officer that they cut through the parking lot all the time on their way home. However, this tyrant was having nothing of it.

I suppose one may look at the video and see a yoot calmly explaining that she had done nothing wrong, and that they do it all the time. The video I see shows the yoot, who by her own admission, had a bit of an attitude, and decided to just pedal away.

There is no lie you won't tell and no truth you won't stretch to the limits in order to provide excuses for cowardly thugs with badges.

If you can’t do this, then you need to stop with the unfounded accusations. There would be no need for your ad hominem attack on my character if you would familiarize yourself more with the case at hand and attack the substance itself … not me.

The mall owners, the owners of the private property mall parking lot, were never going to call tow trucks to tow off the kids bicycles.

Are you sure of that. Looks to me like they were prepared to call in air strikes.

After all,it was private property and they were being invaded,right?

This shopping center parking lot belonged to the mall owner and was private property.

I know you specialize in being an anal even for someone that loves to pick nits,but show me ONE example of a open mall with "No trespassing" signs designed to keep the public out without written or oral permission.

The police officer was working the parking lot as a hired security officer. The mall management has direct contact with its security officers. He knew what was happening because the mall management told him and instructed him what to do.

How did mall management know. Are they psycic?

Mall security requested the action. They did not have to call themselves.

BullBush! Are you seriously claiming mall management,who are sitting in their offices inside the mall building,were aware of and notified that asshole cop of two kids riding bicycles across the parking lot in time for them to radio the asshole cop and for said asshole cop to stop the kids before they could cross the parking lot while riding bicycles?

Do you also believe in the tooth fairy?

Good to know you think police departments work for mall owners.

Good to know you are an asshole.

That would be you,bubba. No one but an asshole defends cops that taze teenage girls.

You really are the perfect little Nazi,aren't you?

You really are a perfect asshole, aren't you.

Truth hurts,huh?

BTW,your idols,the Nazi's,were also following the law. Bet that gives you the warm and fuzzies wood,doesn't it? After all,weren't the owners of Germany,the Nazi's using their authori-tay to force the Jews off their private property?

Still photo: Hand not on neck

Are you serious? ONE still photo of the cop with his hand on her chest proves he never had his hand on her neck,DESPITE the video clearly showing his hand was on her throat before it went to her chest?

What next,you going to show us a still photo of the storm trooper shaving before going to work to be a mall cop,and claiming that is also proof he didn't have his hand on her neck?

You have an industrial-sized case of Asperger's Syndrome,don't you?

How long have you had the problem of carrying on a discussion with educated people?

I don't have any problem at all discussing issues with educated people. What does that have to do with conversing with a boot-licker like you?

Before the officer could write anything down, Tillman admits she tried to ride away. That's when he grabbed her.

That's the way it looked to me.

Is there any audio recording of the discussion that took place before she tried to leave?

Isn't it typical these days for every word a cop says to a suspect,and every word the suspect says to the cop to be automatically recorded?

Maybe not in small town 3 deputy PD's,but surely in big cities like Tacoma.

The Complaint does not appear to raise any constitutional challenge or to assert any challenge to the arrest regarding probable cause.

Stinky Peter and all the other drug loving agenda posters are one-trick-ponies. Every officers actions must me a constitutional violation. When you love drugs, and it's the job of law enforcement to enforce drug laws, then it's the job of the drug lover to wage war against the cops. Their WAR IS A FAILURE. The was against cops. That's why they always act like assholes and yella everything.

The mall owners, the owners of the private property mall parking lot, were never going to call tow trucks to tow off the kids bicycles.

Are you sure of that. Looks to me like they were prepared to call in air strikes.

Yet another stupid statement from you … as least this one is mild.

You can't loose an online debate gracefully and admit that you are wrong,

You have to become irrational to cover your embarassing defeat.

That always happens with you.

Oh, well …

The police officer was working the parking lot as a hired security officer. The mall management has direct contact with its security officers. He knew what was happening because the mall management told him and instructed him what to do.

How did mall management know. Are they psycic?

No, Pete ... they are psychic.

Communication is important to security officers and law enforcement officers .

Often, they need to relay messages and information further than would otherwise be possible via verbal means.

In order to achieve this, a security officer has a number of tools at his/her disposal.

There are such things as the mobile phone, short message service, Morse code (not so common these days) and of course, the radio.

Ever hear about that new nee fangled contraption called, a radio … Pete?

How long have you had the problem of carrying on a discussion with educated people?

I don't have any problem at all discussing issues with educated people. What does that have to do with conversing with a boot-licker like you?

“There you go again” reverting to the use of yet another ad hominem fallacy.

You loose the discussion and revert to an irrelevant perceived characteristic.

Generally, intelligent and educated people do not make such assertions.

Well, at least not the normal internet trolls.

But then, whoever said that you are normal …

Before the officer could write anything down, Tillman admits she tried to ride away. That's when he grabbed her.

That's the way it looked to me.

Well at least your eyes function, although you brain is half dead.

She was fleeing the scene and the officer had the right to detain her.

Geeze ...

BTW,your idols,the Nazi's,were also following the law. Bet that gives you the warm and fuzzies wood,doesn't it? After all,weren't the owners of Germany,the Nazi's using their authori-tay to force the Jews off their private property?

There you go again.

You simply can't stay on topic.

Your "BTW" has absolutely nothing to do with actions involving the girl's arrest.

Well, I guess I can understand your diversion ... you have nothing to intelligent to add to the discussion.

But, what did you ever add that was intelligent ...

Looks like he grabbed his “bugout bag” and headed for his hideout to keep from getting his ass kicked again.

It could be our bad luck that he drops by this morning with some of his “warped words of wisdom” … we shall see.

"Uh, Deckard hasn’t been on thread since just after he started the thread."

He's like the MSM -- publish an inflammatory story weak on facts and strong on innuendo then walk away. Any retraction will be done weeks later. But don't bother looking for one.

He's like the MSM --

Just another one of his many disorders, showing intent to violate the rights of others and always going against society.

He's like the MSM --

Decktard's just another SJW, encouraging anti-social behavior. Decktardian yellow journalism splashes out sensational headlines but once the facts are in their story suffers from narrative collapse, but they're already spamming 12 other lies. Tawana Brawley till now, these SJW's like Sharpton, Triggleypuff and Decktard do not change their spots.

You can't loose an online debate gracefully and admit that you are wrong,

How can I be the one that is wrong,when it is you and your posse that are defending a full-grown cop (I won't use the word "man")throwing a unarmed skinny 15 year old girl to the pavement and then tazing her?

Ever hear about that new nee fangled contraption called, a radio … Pete?

Yeah,I have.

How long does it take to put down the donut,see some VERY dangerous-looking invaders riding across the parking lot,pick up the radio,explain to the cop what he sees wrong and what they want to do about it,compared to how long it takes for a couple of teens to bicycle across a parking lot?

The cop was trolling for kids on bicycles,period.

But then, whoever said that you are normal …

I am proud to say that compared to apparatchiks like you,I am far from normal.

I happen to believe that in THIS country the police are supposed to be the servants of the people,not the servants of the masters in their chain of command,and the masters of the people.

She was fleeing the scene and the officer had the right to detain her.

"fleeing the scene"? The scene of WHAT? Who did she murder? Or maybe she raped somebody? Committed armed robbery?

SHE WAS RIDING A BICYCLE ACROSS A FREAKING PARKING LOT.

You simply can't stay on topic.

The turning of America into a police state IS the topic,bubba.

The turning of America into a police state IS the topic

Actually, America has already turned into a police state and there is no going back.

Actually, America has already turned into a police state ....

I really wish I could argue with that,but I can't.

...and there is no going back.

Not short of citizens taking up their guns to take back control of the government,and I see that as being less likely to happen with each passing year.

People only talk about hiding their guns,nobody talks about taking them up.

I know you specialize in being an anal even for someone that loves to pick nits,but show me ONE example of a open mall with "No trespassing" signs designed to keep the public out without written or oral permission.

Security and a cop seems to work for stupid assholes.

How did mall management know. Are they psycic?

One need not be psychic to monitor security cameras. The security monitor with the cop did not need to be psychic. They just did not need to be a big a fuckup as pete.

BullBush! Are you seriously claiming mall management,who are sitting in their offices inside the mall building,were aware of and notified that asshole cop of two kids riding bicycles across the parking lot in time for them to radio the asshole cop and for said asshole cop to stop the kids before they could cross the parking lot while riding bicycles?

The police report described the kids cutting off cars earlier, swearing and yelling at anyone who honked at them, and that the mall wanted them stopped and given a trespassing notice.

The one yot said they did it all the time. Security was waiting for them. Bicycles cannot otrun police cruisers. It is simple, except for assholes.

No one but an asshole defends cops that taze teenage girls.

No one but a perfect asshole suggests he use his nightstick to bludgeon the yoot into submission.

BTW,your idols,the Nazi's,were also following the law.

I can't help if you are too much of a stupid fuck to understand U.S. law.

Are you serious? ONE still photo of the cop with his hand on her chest proves he never had his hand on her neck,DESPITE the video clearly showing his hand was on her throat before it went to her chest?

It was on her throat for about a second before it was lowered. If you don't like it, donate to the yoot's legal fund.

I don't have any problem at all discussing issues with educated people.

You are incapable of doing it, and do not do it. You apparently do not consider it a problem.

Before the officer could write anything down, Tillman admits she tried to ride away. That's when he grabbed her.

That's the way it looked to me.

She received the proper attitude adjustment. She knew better. You know better.

How can I be the one that is wrong,when it is you and your posse that are defending a full-grown cop (I won't use the word "man")throwing a unarmed skinny 15 year old girl to the pavement and then tazing her?

Because, as you have repeatedly shown, you are a fucking idiot. The yoot did not seem amenable to counseling.

How long does it take to put down the donut,see some VERY dangerous-looking invaders riding across the parking lot,pick up the radio,explain to the cop what he sees wrong and what they want to do about it,compared to how long it takes for a couple of teens to bicycle across a parking lot?

The police report described the kids cutting off cars earlier, swearing and yelling at anyone who honked at them, and that the mall wanted them stopped and given a trespassing notice.

Perhaps the yoots should not have taken the time to joy ride, cutting off cars, and swearing and yelling at anyone who honked at them, bringing their miscreant selves to the attention of mall security.

I am proud to say that compared to apparatchiks like you,I am far from normal.

It must have been from all that time in the Army following orders.

"fleeing the scene"? The scene of WHAT?

The scene where she was lawfully detained, and subsequently lawfully tased and arrested.

The turning of America into a police state IS the topic,bubba.

The lawful detention and then arrest of a miscreant yoot is the subject.
