Brickbat: Should She Not Have Done That?

An arbitrator has ordered the San Antonio, Texas, police department to reinstate officer Elizabeth Montoya, who was fired after punching a handcuffed woman who was six months pregnant. Video showed Montoya dragged Kimberly Esparaza out of her car by her hair, struck her in the head seven times and forced her to sit on the ground in the rain.

Fired after just one incident? No wonder she was reinstated, most male cops get twenty or thirty warnings before they're disciplined.

Pregnant female punched by female cop sounds like a women's rights issue to me. You bitches can sort out who's body who's choice among yourselves.

But what was their skin color?

[Don't look at me!]

That the most important thing

Asshole, assuming the perp's and cop's gender.

That arbiter understands his job.

Wait, what?
No dogs shot?
She's not really cop material.

Everybody deserves a second chance.

Let me guess, the civil suit was dismissed because there’s no explicit precedent to warn the cop that punching a pregnant woman is wrong.

[Don't look at me!]

Woman? Are you a biologist?

As long as she was yelling STOP RESISTING it's OK.

[sarcasmic]

What's wrong with this? Aren't cops supposed to treat everyone the same? Why should a pregnant woman be treated differently than a twentysomething punk? Why should an elderly person or child be treated differently than a grown man? Jeez. Everyone should be treated like a cross between a rag doll and a punching bag.

This is obviously assault, has the statute of limitations expired...if not then charge her with assault then allow her to plea out if she quits otherwise throw the book at her. If a cop can be charged with assault for moving forward during crowd control and knocking some jack ass to the ground then this is a no brainier.

This arbitration is only in regards to the police department firing the police officer. Other legal actions, such as charges of assault, would presumably be unaffected.

" A third-party arbitrator returned Officer Elizabeth Montoya to the San Antonio Police Department after the eight-year force veteran testified during a March hearing that the seven punches she dealt were "compliance strikes," according to the station. Her termination was slashed to a 45-day suspension. "

Really ? Compliance strikes ?

"Segovia also said the arbitrator heard the case under the police union's prior collective bargaining agreement. "

"Before approval of the new labor contract, police-accountability advocates argued that a skewed arbitration process led to San Antonio having one of the highest rates of problem officers being allowed to return to the force."

At what point can you fire an employee for hitting your customers?

There are people that need to be fired more than this cop - every official who signed the union contract that gave the arbitrator this power.

OTOH, it wouldn't matter what the union contract says if the prosecutor would do _his_ job and convict criminal cops of felonies.
