Good Samaritan sues cop, OPP over attack



http://www.torontosun.com/2015/03/29/good-samaritan-sues-cop-opp-over-attack


Farrell was still in her Tim’s uniform that night when she heard the screams of a woman being assaulted behind a convenience store, court heard. She ran to help the woman and when Watson arrived on scene, alone, she frantically tried to point out the assailants who ran off, the trial was told.

Farrell said the officer told her to “shut the f--- up,” then karate kicked her, causing her to fall and smack her head on pavement, according to evidence presented at the trial.

“I was screaming in agony,” Farrell said in an interview, alleging the officer then “started stomping on me.”

Wailing in pain, her leg dangling, she was handcuffed and put into the back of a cruiser, according to Farrell’s statement of claim. She was then taken to hospital where she had the first of several surgeries to repair her leg and knee.

one mean hombre, doesnt she? If looks could kill, eh?

I think the defence believes giving the ossifer 'one her looks' COULD have killed him, if he hadn't reacted with all despatch, and that's what they are trying to build their case on.

I can't make up my mind whether she looks more like Lee Van Cleef in disguise or Dog the Bounty Hunter; perhaps the eyes of Lee and the brawn of Dog.

A mixture of psychopathy and psychosis isn't a good mix, as His Nibs, the pilot, attested.
