Don't get your panties in a bunch.
I don't think the epilepsy is very relevant in the context of her being drunk. If she chooses to drink with her ailment then that's up to her.
Having just watched it again on full screen, I think the force used was way over the top and the officers should be suspended. There is no clear evidence that she was physically resisting arrest. I've been arrested - that may not come as a surprise to many of you - they nearly smashed down my front door. I came out side stood still with my arms slightly raised, the officer took out his handcuffs, I then very clearly said 'There's no need for those, I'm not resisting', I was then pushed up against a wall and then shoved to the ground. My crime - a couple of traffic offences. The officers did not know what my crime was as they were arresting me. The police force need strict disciplinary guidelines and I hope this case gets people talking about issues like that. [/quote]
Erm, epilepsy is part of the story, and it is relevant, because if you drink too much, it can cause a seizure (ever seen one? - I have, and some bad ones).
The officer involved has now been "removed from active duty".
And I always knew you were a crim Grit. I bet it wasn't traffic offences. I bet you were like a pimp or something!
