I ask you again.
How do you reform this?
Cops are evil.
Law enforcement officers in Rowan County pulled a 66-year-old librarian from her car by her hair, threw her to the ground and tore her rotator cuff during a 2019 traffic stop, a federal lawsuit filed Wednesday alleges.
Once officers stopped her car, they approached her with guns drawn, she said.
Body cam video obtained by the Observer shows Bottom crying after she was handcuffed.
“What have I done wrong?” she asked the officers.
While following Bottom, Officer Barkalow referred to Bottom by several derogatory terms that were recorded by his body camera, according to the suit.
Another Salisbury police officer involved in the stop said “That’s good police work, baby,” according to comments recorded on his body cam. Barkalow, meanwhile, “bragged about ‘grabbing a handful of dreads,’ and said ‘at that point she earned it,’“ the lawsuit states.
What was the crime that forced these cops to pull out their guns and assault this elderly black woman?
She was going 80 in a 70.
All the cops involved in lawsuit are still on the force.
