250-Pounds of Public Servant
San Francisco Chronicle | Submitted by: anonymous
"Kelly Medora, a petite preschool teacher who weighed about 118 pounds, went out with a friend in North Beach one Saturday night in 2005 for some fun. Instead, San Francisco police officer Christopher Damonte, who weighed about 250 pounds, arrested her for jaywalking, twisted her arm behind her back and broke it with an audible crack." ... "Assemblyman Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, introduced a bill last year to make police misconduct findings public, but the measure failed after police officers' groups lobbied against it."

Ah the secret state police. That woman is lucky she didn't get beatdown with nightsticks and shot for jaywalking. Tea time in San Fran? Seems it's needed all round the country.

Okay, I'm usually pro-cop but come the fuck on. Arrested for jaywalking? Isn't that just a ticketed offense. Sounds like he was an asshole and she was probably a mouthy know-it-all who "knows her rights". Together they almost always end up with citizen in ER. She'll win in the end but if she approached it differently, she probably wouldn't be needing that Aleve on rainy days in the future.

message is simple, stay off the street. Every officer I have asked lately says there is now zero tolerance and no backing down on any observed infractions, or it is their job on the line. It is not a fun job anymore. Those are their marching orders.

You know.. I've been doing this for 11 years. In that time I've probably went hands on a couple hundred times. In that time period I've only had to take about 5 people to the hospital for injuries and 4 of them were my size or larger than me. the only one who was smaller was wacked out on shrooms and beat his head repeatedly against the screen in my cruiser. I've taken several more tot he ER but they hadn't been hurt and were released without treatment. I've never had to take a female to the ER after an arrest. I could probably shoot one if I had to, but I've never hit a female in my life.. and have no plans on starting any time in the foreseeable future. I don't threaten violence on females and I most assuredly don't damage females. What a fucking loser. A spiral fucking fracture? I ahve never seen an officer cause one of those.. jesus I don't even want to know how much twisting force it would take to cause one.. even if she was bird boned it must have taken quite a bit of pressure. If a 250 lb man can not subdue a person whom he outweighs by a hundred pounds wihtout causing serious bodily injury.. he needs to find another line of work. Now accidents happen.. and if he would have lost his footing or something and accidentally cause the injury it would be one thing... but it sounds like this fuckhead just has anger management issues. One of the 3% fuckheads that give the other 97% of us a bad name. Fuck him. I really really really do not like low down piece of shit bastards that would hurt a female.. goddamn fucking losers.

Spiral fractures are commonplace in child abuse cases. It is a simple case of using the victims force against themselves. For example, fucktard pushes victim in one direction and wrenches the arm in the exact opposite direction. Or in this case, the fucktard uses the vic's weight as an anchor as he twists her arm, something akin to an arm bar. Something's gotta give. ______ "Meanwhile, Damonte has filed a $1 million lawsuit against the city, saying Fong unfairly disciplined him for his part in the Bayview police videos." ###  This guy is incredible.

Matt Dorsey, spokesman for City Attorney Dennis Herrera, said the officers in the Medora case did nothing wrong........ ------------------------- So breaking arms is an appropriate response to jay-walking? Who even cares about jay-walking? Seriously, the only time that particular ticket should be issued is if some idiot steps out in front of a car. Nice to know that brutality is considered the right course of action for non-violent offenders. And I'm glad to see that everyone else is onto Morte and his "the police are really misunderstood good guys" routine. It's a great steaming crock of shit and we all know it.

The following is an excerpt from the article. "Matt Dorsey, spokesman for City Attorney Dennis Herrera, said the officers in the Medora case did nothing wrong, and the city settled only to avoid a potentially more costly jury verdict." I wonder, do they really expect us to believe that statement? That is a bunch of Bullshit. The reason the City settled is because they knew it would cost them a lot more if they went to court. There is nothing potential about it. It is a fact that they would have had their collective asses handed to them.

I don't know why, but in California jaywalking is a big no-no. One time I was walking with a friend of mine to the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica and we stopped at the light. There were no cars at that moment on the street so I began to cross, light or no light. My friend pulled me back and said that they give jaywalking tickets to everyone on this "hot" intersection.

I think that when the police do something bad it is always in the papers. When police do something good you never hear about it. Every article Duder posts here is about something bad the police did. We all submit terrible and tragic articles. I doubt Duder would post an article about a police officer who saved the lives of four people in a burning car while simultaneously delivering triplets on the side of the road. This isn't the soft n' fluffy website, this is rotten. I like reading Morte's posts. I find what he says very interesting. I think it's great that there is a police officer on the Rotten Forum. How cool is that? After all, how boring would this be if everyone agreed on everything. I think he is one of the good guys who expresses his opinion with informative information.

Damonte, of course, won't have to pay for the damages, the taxpayers will. **** Note that Officer Damonte is already in the hot seat for his part in the so-called Bayview police videos scandal. Those "training" videos would be perfect entertainment on DR, but hardly a good idea for a PD. Link to one video is in the the following article. (maybe more). Not "evil-evil" but abysmally stupid. http://tinyurl.com/3ugk8r **** Police malfeasance is now kept under wraps thanks to a Cal Supreme Court Decision: Copley Press, Inc. v. Superior Court "In a recent California Supreme Court decision (Copley Press v. Superior Court), the Court shut out the public's access to police records and hearings, in essence drawing a cloak of secrecy over police conduct. We think this secrecy damages police/community relations, decreases public trust, and leads to unaccountable police departments. There is a fix, though. Two bills have been introduced in the California Assembly and Senate to restore civilian oversight, effectively overturning the Copley Press decision".

I actually got a laugh at all of the posts directed towards me. Did any of you actually read my post? I suggest going back and re reading it if you didn't. I just think it is fricken hilarious that I get more flames when I say "This officer is in the wrong and needs to find another profession" than I do when I say that the officer in question was justified. *snicker* Someone above (I'm not gonna bother checking who) asked if I would report someone for doing this type of shit.. The answer is a simple yes. I fricken hate bullies.. and I especially hate it when any man would hurt a woman without extreme justification. I was raised to be respectful to women and be extremely protective of women and children. If I had been there when this happened it is possible that Mr. Bully would have been bounced off of a patrol car or two... but then he would ahve probably known my views on it before hand and wouldn't ahve done it in my presence. My ex Step father used to hit my mom... and no fucking guy is going to hurt a girl or a kid in my presence without a confrontation. Period. I've gone hands on many times in my career... but I've never done it for any other reasons than effecting the arrest or protecting myself or others. That's it. I only fight when I have to. I might also mention that I've told other officers on two occasions that if they felt froggy the could hop on over at any time... They decided, probably wisely, that it was in their best interest not to.

Nope. but then again, my views are widely known in my squad.. and I'm pretty sure that if they were tempted to do something like that they'd make sure I was no where near the scene. That being said it just isn't likely to happen in the team I work in.. or the Department I work in, actually. The team: most of us have been working together for over 5 years. We lose a guy here or there (transfers other jobs, etc) and get a cherry to replace him, but we fit that person in the team or he doesn't last. He doesn't get fired or run out, but if he doesn't fit in he usually leaves because he knows we won't tolerate bullshit. Our team has one of the lowest turn over rates in the department. We also have almost no excessive for complaints. Backing that up is a Department that considers their officers guilty until proven innocent and cameras in all the cars. with remote mics connected to the cars on the gunbelts. To the best of my knowledge we've never had to take a woman to the hospital because of excessive force by an officer.Or a child. Males? now that is another story entirely, but the last time I've been on a call where the Officer was way out of line was about 9 years ago.. and the officer in question hasn't been employed here in 9 years. Things could be different in other teams (precincts).. I dunno *shrug* I can only attest to what happens here.

I'm kind of disappointed in (not surprised by) the knee-jerk reaction of the city's attorney. I know it's his job to minimize liability, but as it's said: When you're stuck in a deep hole, it's wise to stop digging. With that said, it is also clear to me that police forces tend to attract characters like the 250 pound shitbird of our merry tale. Let's be honest - it's the _only_ job in modern society where you're expected to be violent at times. Not that every copper is a bastards, but me thinks that violent bastards get away with being violent bastards, when they as coppers kick the shite out of 'criminals'. And, of course, get their kicks in the process. Which could bring me on to why outright sociopaths seem to thrive in the Special Forces, but that's a story for another day.

We all know what happens to whistle-blowers. You don't have to be a cop to figure that one out. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Nothing happens to them. Most cops hate it when assholes pull this shit off. It makes it more difficult for the regular cops to do their job. It also makes it more dangerous. Example, Norvelle Brown, 22, rookie.  Guy grew up in the neighborhood and wanted to be a cop that made a difference. He was known for trying to get through to the youth. Volunteered his time working with them. Then one night while answering a call, some punk walked up to him and shot him. Why? Because he was a cop. And that attitude is prevalent due to actions by officers like Damonte. Now, I'm not a cop but have several friends who are. And I have worked with them in the past regarding things I'd rather not get into now. You can either belief me or not. I was also a smart ass youth who sometimes drank to much and didn't know when to stfu. Therefore, I have been on the receiving end of "police brutality" more than once. I also know I was partially to blame for it. This taught me something. There are times when you fight with your mind and sometimes you fight with your fists/mouth. There are bad cops out there. Maybe it's 3%, maybe it's 10%. They are not the majority. But creating this attitude of fear and intimidation doesn't help. Their are dickheads everywhere in life. Try dealing with someone when the first thing out of their mouth is a slur to you. I'm going to bet that you are going to be on the defensive. I think the police shouldn't be asked to force half the laws they do but that is another story. Jaywalking? I think the penalty for that is being run over if you get caught by a car.

Hey, I really don't have anything against cops. Yes I've had a few incidents where the cop was being an unreasonable asshole, but I honestly believe that most cops are good people just trying to do their very dangerous job. I think the real problem is that too many of the good cops are unwilling to snitch on the bad cops. I also think Morte is full of shit when he says he'd report a bad cop for being bad. It's that whole brotherhood in blue, stick-up-for-each-other-no-matter-what mentality that seems to be so deeply instilled in them. On the flip side, I can also see where that type of thinking can benefit cops on the job - how much harder would you fight to save your brother's life, as opposed to some asshole you work with who snitched on your brother for some infraction? Christ I hate getting older. The world is so much less black-and-white, and lots more shades of gray with regard to right and wrong. I truly miss the easy answers of youth.

reminds me of an episode of COPS I just watched. They chased a guy down and when they caught him he had both arms up in the air...The next clip was the same guy in front of the judge but he had his arm in a cast and sling. Nobody seemed to notice. LOL!

Despite what the losers in here who seem to have it in for Morte say, I believe what he says in here due to the fact that friends of mine who are cops say the same thing. Youre going to find assholes in every single profession no matter where you go, and police officers are no exception. Id be willing to bet that the woman who got her arm broke was a little princess who happened to mouth off at a piss poor cop who was having a bad day that day, and she got the short end of the stick. In short Ive said it before and Ill say it gain, stop being a dick and not only do you lessen your chances of being hassled by cops but of being hassled by people in general.

There are alot of asshole cops because bullies tend to gravitate towards jobs that give them power. Same reason pedos become teachers and find other jobs that surround themselves with children.

It always makes me laugh when cops say they wanted to be cops so they could help people. If they wanted to help people they would have joined the fire dept, been a paramedic or joined the Peace Corps. Being habitual lairs, they will never admit it's because they love the power, being able to stomp helpless suspects gets em off, and it pays better than flipping burgers at McD's.

I know I rattle on about BAD cops pretty fiercely. I also want to say that I also know there are some damned GOOD cops too. I wished the bad ones didn't leave a smear on the good ones. If a cop shows me respect, then he gets the same. I've had a few who want to see how short my fuse is and it really has nothing to do with why I'm being detained. This is the shit I'm speaking of. Morte..........don't think I hate you cuz I don't. You sound like a very reasonable person most of the time. It's the slime buckets that brings the walls around us down and then everyone wants to rage on that. I read it all the time on badcopnews dot com. I'm truly amazed how these people got into law enforcement. You know they won't have an easy time in prison unless they stick them with the homo's, snitches and weaklings that have to be protected. Not every road is paved with good intentions.

In my experience both in court ('cus of bounced check) and taking people from my 12 Step groups for court appearences, I have noticed some things. The people who bitch the loudest about cops (I am NOT talking about blatent brutality, but in general) are the ones who act like total and complete douche bags when they get arrested for doing something wrong. The ones from 12 step are a fucking gem. They will get in the car with me and tell me about the fucking cop, fucking judge, who the fuck do they think they are. Then the charges against them come out: DWI, drug possession, assault,robbery, stealing, welfare fraud, you get the general idea. Then it is amazing. For the most part, the longer people stay sober and off the drugs, when they get in trouble or when something in the past catches up with them it is usually, "crap I have to pay for what I did". Or they will share how they got pulled over for speeding and didn't have to fight with the cop. I agree though there are asshole cops. There are asshole teachers, there are asshole store owners, there are asshole garbage men, ect. ect. ect.

Id be willing to bet money that those on here screaming that ALL cops are assholes, ALL cops should be shot, Blah blah blah. Id be willing to bet you have done at least one if not ALL of the following. 1 Thrown an empty beercan, beer bottle, cigarette carton or some other piece of trash into someones front yard while driving down the road. 2. Blabbered on a cell phone while in a movie theater. 3. Cut someone off in traffic then slammed on the brakes so you didnt miss your exit 4. Ignored a no smoking sign, and smoked because you felt it was your "right" 5. Shop lifted because you felt the store prices were too high, probably filled up your car with gas and drove off without paying too. 6. Left a restaurant without leaving a tip even though you received excellent service. Why do I KNOW youve done at least one of the above? Because you are a cock sucking asshole who thinks the world revolves around you. Then when you get called on being an asshole by someone in law enforcement you cry "victim". Why? because like I said, you are an asshole who thinks the world revolves around YOU and YOUR whims and desires and feel that rules dont apply to you. In short stop being an ass and start being more considerate of your fellow human beings and see how they treat you then.

Meh, this is like the old adage about arguing on the internet. You guys keep your attitudes and I'll keep mine. When a cop confronts me for any reason, I treat him like any other man until he gives me reason not to, with respect. If I don't get it back, I know he's an asshole. I handle what ever situation I am involved in at the moment and will take it up with the department at a later date. Ninety-five percent of the time, I get my respect and quite often get off with a warning and a handshake. Your fighting the power is misguided and the true enemies wear suits.

Just haven't been stopped by one having a bad day. yet. And I'm white and drive a nice car, seems to make a big difference. Last time was by Highway Patrol, he was very professional, pretty much what I expect from any public servant. The other time was by a city Cop downtown because it was later at night and he was fishing for drunks. He claimed he pulled me over because my tags were going to expire. In a month. That guy was a smart ass little prick. Have you ever tried filing a complaint with any PD? They don't like it very much.No matter what the complaint is, they treat you like you're the criminal.

I do love the police brutality threads. It always brings the eternally amusing, epic, one sided tard battles to make me smile. I know plenty of cops. Most, back from northeast Ohio and a few that I've met professionally in Florida. Like any slice of the pie of humanity, there will always be some fecal matter. I'll say it's a career that could never pay enough or give my selfish ass enough altruistic satisfaction to pursue. They have too many laws to enforce and if they don't, an officer could lose their job or even be prosecuted. It's their job. If a ditch-digger only dug the six foot ditch to five feet, the job would not be complete. For the most part I agree with kuzzy on the moroff's that hate cops. But kuzzy forgot one: They also get stupid, on a regular basis, on six pack after six pack of "instant asshole". As a young man in the 80's, I was arrested over 100 times for solicitation, and not once was I mistreated or roughed up. I wasn't even handcuffed. That said; this concrete head of a cop is an asshole.

Cracker I cant really argue with your there Small Texas towns are nightmares when it comes to police. My birth town, Refugio is the richest county in the state. The town itself looks like a piece of dried up shit. But guess how they get all that money. Ticketing people for 1 mile over speed limit, and constantly pulling over people who even remotely might be carrying drugs. Find anything that remotely might be drug related, and seize,and sell their car. So If your ever in south Texas, I recommend staying way from that one.

funny real world facts: 1, cops gets ticked off when you say "I want a lawyer" and "what are you arresting me for?" 2, if you call 911 and complain after a cop has beaten you up, the same cop who've just beaten you up shows up 3, you can get arrested anywhere, anytime, for any reason once some cop has you on his radar and wants to play with you. you can get arrested for "trespassing" and "possession of a dangerous weapon" while you are getting your hair cut at a saloon 4assholes in other professions are not above the law, but asshole cops can do anything they want with no consequence

Certainly logical Auldy.....it would be self-defeating for a citizen to put a grievance against an oinker wherein his boss would be ultimate arbiter.

Actually most states have their own Bureau of Investigation. That would probably be your best bet to file a complaint if you don't want to go to the Department in question. The Sheriff's Department or State Police probably won't ahve jurisdiction over the PD.. the FBI won't either unless it involves a Civil Rights Violation. The State's Bureau of Investigation will have, though.

Most of my clique in highschool joined local forces, but a lot of them bailed after a few years. Their stories were intersting to say the least. They all wanted to be boy scouts and help others. About half those left kept their cool, but the rest gave in to peer pressure from the loudmouth bullies in the rank and file, or became revenuers. It was sad to see some of my friends go bad over time. We taxpayers are their ultimate bosses and customers and desreve to know what goes on....or whose army is it?

Other: The Public is not the ultimate boss of the Police Force... The Government that empowers the PD is. If we were a Democracy then that theory of yours might hold true. But we are not a Democracy. We are a Republic. You elect people to represent you, but you do not get a say in the Government directly. Their are a few exceptions to this, but for the most part that's the way it works. The Public is not the ultimate boss of the Military for the same reason. Think of it as a Corporation. The people who hold the stocks elect the Board of Directors, but they do not get a say in the day to day decisions of the Company. If they start losing money they can replace the Board, but the new board will run the Company. The Stockholders (Voters) can shape the general direction of the Company (Nation, State, or City) but the fine details are handled by their Board of Directors(Government) On the other side of it the voters have more of a say in the Sheriff's Department. The Sheriff is elected. It is a Political Position. However Sheriff's Offices are usually less effective than Police Departments. They work under more of a Good Ole Boy network. The Sheriff's primary goal is to keep his constituents (bosses) happy and keep himself in office. He hires deputies to further his primary goal. His people are usually friendlier to residents (and unfriendlier to non residents), but they are also usually less effective in law enforcement. Not rocking the boat becomes more important than effect in a lot of cases. Without that accountability for professionalism it is also easier for Sheriffs and deputies to become criminals. You hear of Sheriffs being crooks semi regularly.. but you almost never hear of a Police Chief being corrupt.. and the ones you do are almost always in small towns and not cities. A Chief of Police is hired. The Chief of Police's primary goal is effectiveness.. whether on paper or in actuality. Since he is an Employee he is not reliant on the goodwill of the voters.. he's reliant on the good will of the City Council and the Mayor(bosses). The PD tends to be more professional and better trained.. But the focus on effect tends to make them disliked more... that constant push from above for numbers. More tickets.. more stops.. more arrests... With more focus on effect and less on public image there are a lot of mistakes and misunderstandings. Some departments (like mine) have been pushing the other way. We had a pretty good Community Oriented Policing initiative going... and the department's image soared because of it.. we were getting less numbers, though. Our crime rate didn't increase, but there were less points in the proactive column because instead of writing tickets oficers were talking to residents. More communication, less misunderstandings. Our focus has recently gone back to enforcement.. so I'm sure our image will take a hit from it sooner or later. *shrug*
