Twodocs Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 http://www.action3news.com/Global/story.asp?S=11291230 "Husker Fan Attacked By Missouri Police After Game Posted: Oct 9, 2009 10:41 PM CDT Independence, MO - Kristy Powell can't believe what happened to her during and after the Huskers beat the Missouri Tigers football team. Powell is from Omaha but now lives with her family in Independence, MO and claims she got battered and bruised at the hands of Independence police officers. It happened at the Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant while Powell and her family were watching the game. They started cheering after a Husker touchdown and a Tiger fan didn't like it and started cursing at them telling them to shut up. Powell responded. "I said watch your mouth my kids are here....he said I don't care I'm a police officer I can say what I want to say," said Powell. That's when she says a different officer approached her then slammed her up against the wall while putting hand cuffs on her. Powell tells Action 3 News she fully cooperated and doesn't know why the officer acted the way he did. She says another officer pushed her face against the exit door of the bar... then slammed her against the trunk of the squad car before arresting her and taking her to jail. Powell said it was a nightmare and now she's filing a complaint against the Independence Police Officers who hurt here. Independence Police officers would not comment on Powell's case but says because of the nature of the complaint it will be investigated by internal affairs." Powell was charged with resisting arrest and disturbing the peace. Powell says she would resist an officer and would never disrespect one especially since her father is a retired Omaha Police Officer.

CENTEXHUSKER Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Not having all the facts but assuming she was there with just her kids, it takes a 'real' man(who is also a cop) to tell a defenseless women to STFU and then have your partner physically abuse her. I hope she sues the schmit out of the dept./city.........Stay classy Independence, stay classy Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 My goodness. What awful examples. And we are supposed to look up to people like this??? Quote Link to comment
bennychico11 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Powell says she would resist an officer... I'm guessing that's a typo and not a freudian slip? Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 The problem with stories like this is, they never ever have all the details. Sure, this looks bad right now, but the amount of detail we have is minuscule for what all went on, what all was said, etc. It's best not to pass judgment before we have more facts here. This is a bare bones story. Quote Link to comment
Axl_sued_me Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 That's just wrong. And I hope this guy gets suspended or gets put on Leave, what an irrogant man. He thinks he's above the law.. F*ck that. The as$hole should be fired and prosecuted. Then she should turn right around and file suit on him and the PD and everyone that she can end this bullsh*t. Another reason to hate Missouri.
