    Is this the woman who was caught speeding with alcohol on hand two days ago but was let off, and then was caught again doing the exact same thing? She’s not a victim here. Shes a repeat offender who was resisting a justified arrest

    Edit: this isn’t justifying the officer’s attack, just providing some missing context to why. She should be arrested for her actions. She of course shouldn’t be assaulted

      So are you just assuming this and making a mess for no reason?

      Repeat offender or not, do you not agree that that was excessive force?

          Arellano began placing Hackett under arrest. He said he saw alcohol in the car and learned another trooper had pulled her over days earlier and also found an open container.

          The media reporting that “he said he saw alcohol.” Not “alcohol was found in the vehicle.” Not “was charged for having open alcohol while driving” if which there would need to be physical evidence.

          Learned another trooper had found alcohol days earlier. Not “was arrested for having alcohol in the vehicle” of which there would be an actual record.

          Are you certain there was any alcohol, or do you think he’s making up an excuse for his behavior and the media and his fellow officers are providing him cover?

          “Caught for going 71 in a 60 mile an hour zone”, if she was white this would have been a ticket and a “have a nice night, please keep to the speed limit”.

        Absolutely excessive force. ACAB and all that. But also this woman is being a menace repeatedly drinking and driving, this attack by the officer wasn’t provoked

      She is a victim here. There is very little context that could ever justify this.

      May you be reincarnated as a penniless Black Man in Mississippi, then as a Native woman in North Dakota.
