Guilty of being Black and Pregnant
Seattle police open season on Black pregnant mothers?
STEVEN L. DAMAN, in his capacity as an officer of the Seattle Police
Department;
DONALD M. JONES, in
his individual capacity as an
officer of the Seattle Police
Department;
JUAN M. ORNELAS, in
his individual capacity as an
officer of the Seattle Police
Department,
The Washington courts have
never approved a custodial arrest for a non-arrestable offense
where the driver, like Brooks, produced identification and
owned the car she was driving.
Officer Ornelas then called his supervisor, SPD Sergeant
Daman. When Sergeant Daman arrived, Brooks continued to
refuse to sign the Notice. Sergeant Daman then asked her “if
[she] was going to sign the ticket.” When she refused, he told
Officers Ornelas and Jones to “[b]ook her.” They attempted
to follow those orders.
Officer Ornelas then employed a pain compliance technique,
bringing Brooks’s left arm up behind her back,
whereon Brooks stiffened her body and clutched the steering
wheel in order to frustrate her removal from the car. Officer
Jones discharged the Taser against Brooks’s thigh, through
her sweat pants, which caused Brooks “tremendous pain.” She
began to yell and honk the car’s horn.
Within the next minute, Officer Jones tased her two more
times, against her shoulder and neck, the latter being the only
area of exposed skin. Brooks was unable to get out of the car
herself during this time because her arm was still behind her
back
Indeed, an arrestee’s resistance may support the use
of force regardless of whether probable cause existed.
( WTF? G )
holding that an
officer if the person willfully hinders, delays, or
obstructs any law enforcement officer in the discharge of his
or her official powers or duties.”
Bryan v. McPherson, 590 F.3d 767 (9th Cir.
2009) (holding that shooting a Taser gun at a disoriented,
half-naked man while stopping him for a seatbelt violation
constituted excessive force).

Refusing to sign the Ticket is not
an arrestable offense!
And her refusal to sign was then
turned into "obstructing".
Which is an arrestable offense.
Just cheesy....
