Lawyer: No drugs, booze in woman beaten by officer
August 11, 2014

LOS ANGELES (AP) — An attorney for a woman seen on video being repeatedly punched by a California Highway Patrol officer says tests show she had no drugs or alcohol in her system.

Drivers who called emergency services before the incident said Marlene Pinnock appeared high, drunk or "loaded."

Attorney Caree Harper says Pinnock has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and the homeless woman was off her medications for roughly two to three months when the July 1 altercation occurred. She says Pinnock was previously misdiagnosed with a different mental illness.

Pinnock is suing in federal court for civil rights violations.

They should check the cop for drugs & alcohol........these cops are like robots, they have a short fuse & this lady has a very good chance of winning this case.
 
The expression 'drugs and alcohol' just inherently annoys me. When will people learn that alcohol IS a fucking DRUG.

So is tobacco, but I believe they separate the terms of these items because alcohol & cigarettes are legal & can be purchased at your local mini mart while drugs, whether its vicodin w/o a script or coke/heroin can not.
 
So what if she was high as a kite? still doesn't legitimize some jumped up svinya battering someone.
