Anyone has link to the video?.
Yes, Tiny Tiana has been charged with assaulting a police officer, obstruction of justice and resisting arrest.
I admit I laughed when I saw the picture of her.
She’s 18 and charged with this truckload of life-altering charges against a big, strong six-foot-plus male copper?
Drug bust? Bank robbery? Hit and run?
Nope. A routine traffic stop.
At least it started that way. Somehow a discussion of not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign escalated to her boyfriend Chris and the officer getting into a verbal spat that ended up with him being arrested over what she alleges was a “racist” remark about him being Korean.
“I came out of the passenger seat ... and ... walked up to the officer without any harmful intention or any physical contact and said to him, ‘Do we not have rights to say anything?’ He angrily shoved me down to the road ... and kicked me a few times right in my stomach ... He got me to the ground and stepped on my back. He pulled me up and slammed me on the trunk of his car and pushed me down again and punched me around my torso several times. Then he told me I’m under arrest for assaulting a police officer.”
She said she was saved by “a guy in a uniform (who) came to try to stop the officer. I believe he is some sort of a guard. He was saying something like ‘Stop it, it’s a girl.’ But the officer only got rougher and rougher.”
Now, Toronto Police’s version is after a “fail to yield from a private driveway” ticket “the accused was shouting profanities” and “swore at the officer.” After the “officer was trying to arrest the accused, the man pushed the officer with both hands” and a “struggle ensued.” Police say “the female passenger left the vehicle and began to struggle with the officer to try to free the accused from police custody. A security officer came to the aid of the police officer and helped control the female. Another police officer assisted with the completion of the arrest.”
Neither argument has been tested in court.
But all of this over a traffic ticket?
But it was the alleged brutality toward this young woman that is in question here. Was it necessary? Was it excessive?
“I am trying to find a way to get into contact with Mr. Bill Blair hoping he could help me,” Tiana wrote in a note to me last month about the January incident to which she attached pictures of her bruises.
Perhaps the chief, who has asked officers to not act like “idiots,” may have helped because since I first told police of this incident, on the day of the Boston Bombing, Tiana has been told that all the charges will be withdrawn.
Thankfully.
But what about an investigation of the way she was arrested?
It seems a video has surfaced with some grainy images of the incident and a witness talking about a “girl being beaten.”
My question is, was the cruiser’s dashboard camera on?
Was it necessary and could it have been avoided?
“I do want to continue with somehow reporting the officer,” she says.
She should have stayed in the car, in my view. But the beating of a tiny teen girl should be properly investigated.

Scientists Find 1.5-Billion-Year-Old Pockets of Water in Canadian Mine
The scientists analyzed water pouring out of boreholes from a mine 1.5 miles (2.4 km) beneath Ontario, Canada.
According to their study published in the journal Nature, this water could be some of the oldest on Earth and may even contain life. The similarity between the rocks that trapped it and those on Mars raises the hope that comparable life-sustaining water could lie buried beneath the Red planet’s surface.
The team found that the water is rich in dissolved gases like hydrogen, methane and isotopes of noble gases such as helium, neon, argon and xenon. Indeed, there is as much hydrogen in the water as around hydrothermal vents in the deep ocean, many of which teem with microscopic life. The hydrogen and methane come from the interaction between the rock and water, as well as natural radioactive elements in the rock reacting with the water. These gases could provide energy for microbes that may not have been exposed to the sun for billions of years.
The crystalline rocks surrounding the water are thought to be around 2.7 billion years old. But no-one thought the water could be the same age, until now. Using ground-breaking techniques, the researchers show that the fluid is at least 1.5 billion years old, but could be significantly older.
“We’ve found an interconnected fluid system in the deep Canadian crystalline basement that is billions of years old, and capable of supporting life. Our finding is of huge interest to researchers who want to understand how microbes evolve in isolation, and is central to the whole question of the origin of life, the sustainability of life, and life in extreme environments and on other planets,” Prof Ballentine said.
Before this discovery, the only water of this age was found trapped in tiny bubbles in rock and is incapable of supporting life. But the water found in the Canadian mine pours from the rock at a rate of nearly two liters per minute. It has similar characteristics to far younger water flowing from a mine 1.7 miles (2.8 km) below ground in South Africa that was previously found to support microbes.
The researchers don’t yet know if the underground system in Canada sustains life.
“Our Canadian colleagues are trying to find out if the water contains life right now. What we can be sure of is that we have identified a way in which planets can create and preserve an environment friendly to microbial life for billions of years. This is regardless of how inhospitable the surface might be, opening up the possibility of similar environments in the subsurface of Mars,” explained first author Dr Greg Holland of Lancaster University.

That is awesome.....I am going read about it later...heard it about yesterday.....
As for the story on the Police....well...some Cops, should not be Cops....:-Cool/"
