Makia Smith has sued the Baltimore Police Department and four police officers she says beat her and broke her camera when she tried to photograph police beating someone else. "You want to film something, bitch? Film this," one of the officers said, according to the lawsuit.

Fuck the paperwork. Collect bodies, split heads.

You, McNulty, are a gaping asshole. We both know this. Fuck if everybody in CID doesn't know it! But fuck if I'm gonna stand here and say you did a single fucking thing to get a police filmed!

[Longtorso, Johnny]

It's beatings all the way down.

[WTF]

Where's dunphy to tell us all how awesome and admired the police are?

[RBS]

Working class heroes they are.

[sarcasmic]

They're awesome and admired until you need their help.

You bigorati obviously don't know the totality of the fact pattern. Procedures were followed, non-cops were hurt, nothing else happened.

HTH Kthxbai!

[UnCivilServant]

Methinks it's time to change these "procedures" which seem to consistantly result in injury to non-cops.

[Bardas Phocas]

That might lessen, by a slight percentage, the chance of a cop/hero from going home to his family tonight. Do you want that on your conscience?

[Rrabbit]

I guess she will soon be charged with resisting arrest and obstruction of cop.

You want to film something bitch? Film this

I mean, who hasn't said this in the bedroom before?

[PS]

In the bedroom? How fucking bourgeois.

[Almanian!]

Well, thank God none of our Protectors in Blue were harmed in this beating.

I think it's a good thing this woman got the "totality of the fact pattern" right upside the haid. Maybe she'll think twice next time before interfering with police work.

And where exactly would the haid be?
