> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > She’s a small woman who was cuffed. _I_ could take her down with a minimum of fuss, drunk or sober, and my martial arts training began and ended when I was about nine. Speaking as a black belt and former hand-to-hand instructor, including in police arresting techniques, not 100% of the time you couldn’t. Because at least some of the time, when you “take her down” she is going to land face-first and smash her nose. And then a whole bunch of assholes are going to scream “Brutality!” > [@](#): > > I’m not really sure how you reached your conclusion here. I was all set to retract my assertion that he was definitely guilty (since, on reflection, it appears that the injuries are not clear-cut evidence) and then you posted the video with the audio of her being slammed into the wall. 😕 I did not post the video, and I get a 404 trying to access it. But I am willing to accept that it has the sound of her slamming into the wall. But ISTM that she got her injuries from hitting the floor, not the wall. And also, how do you tell from the audio that she was slammed, as opposed to slamming herself in the course of her struggles, into the wall? Regards, Shodan ---

> [@Shodan](#): > > Interesting that, for all the blood that was spilled, none of it got on the officer who allegedly beat her. Nor were there any marks on the knuckles of his right hand, if he punched her with that hand. That is pretty weird. ---

> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > Interesting side note: > I Googled “Wesley Willis Shreveport” and the fifth hit was a S\*\*\*mfront thread entitled, “Law Enforcement Brutality Against Aryan Woman”. I guess they figured Wesley Willis sounded like a black guy. Could someone please explain to me why everyone always bleeps out the “tor” from that word whenever it comes up on this board? Is it considered some kind of swear word or something? I am really confused. ---

Is it considered some kind of swear word or something? I am really confused. They’re constantly running vanity searches of other message boards, I guess. About thirty of them showed up here for a couple of weeks in… 2004? Ah, yes, [here it is](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=244236). It was all **BrainGlutton** ’s fault!

Most were just reposts of articles and other bullshit from white supremacist cites, followed by thorough debunkings, followed by the OPs coming back to call us nigger-lovers. ---
