Police Brutality: Female Student Tackled by 3 Cops

University of Wisconsin Milwaukee March 15, Anthropology professor Kathleen Foley Winkler argues with a student then calls the police.

The student identified as Robyn Foster, yells back and forth with Foley Winkler who remains off camera, reportedly arguing over the wording of a question on a recent exam.

Things got heated and when a fellow student told Foster to sit down. Foster allegedly threw a water bottle compelling the professor to call campus police. That's when an unnamed fellow student and intern at a Milwaukee TV station began recording the incident.

Campus police arrived and within seconds violently forced Foster to the ground as she was preparing to leave the classroom. Foster now faces a charge of disorderly conduct.

As for this video, I never said it was an illegal arrest, or that the officers were at anytime in the wrong. I was commenting when you were generalizing 'use of force' in a previous comment. In this video, as I have commented, there is no doubt this woman was in the wrong, and has no right to disrupt a class even if she payed tuition for it, as I'm sure all the other students did as well. If she refused to leave, then yes, she needed to be escorted off the premises.

You state, they are trained in 'take down techniques', this true, and they have almost no training on 'civil liberties' or the Constitution. The 'blue code of silence' exists, and they are using bogus eavesdropping/wiretapping laws now if you dare film their illegal activities. You seem to think, they conduct themselves with professionalism, yet laws don't pertain to them. Someone once said, "All cops are bad, because the good ones, watch the bad ones commit crimes"!

There is no doubt, police do use force when needed. In many cases, disorderly conduct is an excuse to arrest a citizen just for him 'mouthing off', or 'showing lack of respect', which isn't against the law. In many cases, officers use excessive force when it clearly wasn't not called for. There are guidelines officers need to follow when using force, especially deadly force, yet they are abusing this policy/procedure.

If the arresting officer was making an illegal arrest, or one that violates the persons civil liberties, that defendant would get off a technicality pertaining to his 4th amendment. Otherwise, yes, the officer arrests the 'citizen' (in societies view these days, you say suspect it means guilty, hence I will not use that word) and a civil case this takes place, refer to Glik. Assault, and self-defense, are two contradicting elements. Therefor, one or the other.

@21xmeatballx

The legal definition of assault, doesn't fall under the legal definition of self-defense. This means, you can't have an assault take place, if self-defense is what actually happened (regardless of what a jury decides). If an officer gets injured or his/her death is a result, as you said, it's up to a jury to decide. This is precisely the same circumstances you are referring to of an altercation with an officer while resisting arrest.

@fmnma1

You are correct, I misread it. But the arrest in this video is not an illegal arrest and that is what I'm trying to get you to understand. And whether or not you believe you have the right to fight back during an unlawful arrest, like i said earlier, it is not for you to decide. It is up to the courts after the arrest happens. I am gathering that you believe that you can fight an officer in such an event. You cannot assault an officer because you believe the arrest is unlawful.

@21xmeatballx

I never said it did. I said, it gives to much power to law enforcement. And, what I said, you have the right to fight and use self defense if an officer is illegally arresting you. Next time someone responds to you, pay attention to what they are saying and when they say it. That way, you won't have any problems figuring out what the person said, or did not say. This also helps when your babbling to try to make a point, which is pointless.

@fmnma1

Yes, there is flexibility with disorderly conduct. That does not make it an illegal arrest. It is not illegal to use for necessary force to arrest someone who is resisting. Why do you think officers are trained to use takedown techniques? I am trained in these areas because I work for a police department. I'm not a certified or sworn officer, but I still train and learn takedown techniques and when it is necessary to use them. Force that is needed in an arrest is not illegal.
