PDs better cut this crap out or they are going to be a goldmine for lawsuits. The day has passed when they could abuse power without impunity.

post some links to the real story

[cookinwithgas]

it seems far more likely the cop is lying to protect himself than these people lying for some other reason to me. But I would be pissed if some vacation spot cop decided to make an example of me on my vacation too.

One common denominator in all this is people flailing and acting erratic.  Do the cops have the right to do what they did?  No.  Did you get what was coming to you by acting an ass?  Yes.  

Pro Tip:  Comply now, sue later.

I GUARANTEE they are lying.  100%

[Bronn]

Oh, pardon me if I have little pity that their $1,000 a day vacation was interrupted because she was being irresponsible, hysterical, and drunk.

"Dude... dude... dude... dude..."

Were the cops likely too aggressive? Yes, because the sky is usually blue... but I am pretty sure neither side is being 100% truthful here...

[Darth Biscuit]

I saw all this to do, but wasn't this incident like 2 years ago?

 

Bronn is right...  the cops were probably over aggressive (surprise) and the family was probably not coming clean on their behavior either, but who knows...?

 

Literally the first thing like this I've ever heard of on Bald Head.

North Carolina’s Cape Fear Coast is one of my favorite places in the country. The sand dunes, Spanish moss and the smell of saltwater in the air are just a few of the things I miss when I’m not there vacationing with my family.

A few years ago, I learned of a modern-day mystery — the disturbing events surrounding the death of Bald Head Island Police Officer Davina “Dee” Buff Jones. It left me questioning whether I wanted to return.

2 quick thoughts,

1, Nice that the video starts right as they started to arrest her, not showing anything that happened before hand. considering how much she's screaming and resisting the officers I'm more then willing to side with the officers that she was drinking/intoxicated. if she was sober and explained herself peacefully she's getting a warning or a citation, not getting arrested. believe it or not but even police officers working a kush resort jobs have better things to do than arresting Soccer moms.

2, If she was intoxicated and let her child drive(doesnt have to be above .08), it's considered reckless child endangerment. And could also be interpreted as child abuse, they were well within their rights to arrest her, also the police cannot always know how far she was driving, they can only account for what they observe, so if they see drunk mom letting her kid drive her home, they have to assume that is what is going on.

not disagreeing with that

but we also now live in a world where people have little respect for authority and think virtually nothing applies to them and that they should be able to get out of anything.  Based on the video alone, I would be willing to bet the woman was far from innocent in her initial act and more important how she reacted to the officers.

100%?  Doubt that's true.

 

More than likely, both sides give a different story, and both sides contain a mixture of truth and fiction.  That is just basic human nature.
