"Alleged" cell assault.

Sometimes you see something which just takes your breath away. This is one of those things. A 15 year old girl, probably a gobby bint, is arrested in connection with the theft of a car and brought into a police station in the US. I'm guessing she's been giving the police officers a lot of cheek on the way here and the officers are seriously pissed off by the time they usher her into the cell.

But they are professionals, they are a lot older than her and they are on CCTV for God's sake. So there is no excuse AT ALL for what happens next.

Once in the police cell, when she kicks off her shoe through the door at Washington State Deputy Paul Schene, he lunges at her, boot first, striking her in the stomach. He pushes her into the corner of the cell, grabs her by the hair and throws her onto the ground. Once she is on the ground - a 15 year old girl, remember - and he has his knee in the small of her back while another full-grown man assists in restraining her, Schene 'appears to' punch her twice in the face before dragging her to her feet again and dragging her out of the cell by the hair.

Apparently the car theft charge was dropped as was the attempt to charge her with assault for kicking her shoe at the police officers.

Oh the irony.

I'm sure that she's no angel and that she was probaly a prize pain in the arse, but that makes absolutely no difference at all, whatsoever.

Paul Schene - hang your head in shame and find another job. What an outrage, and even more outrageous that the police force should try and excuse this appalling, appalling behaviour with mealy-mouthed talk of this girl's assault OF THEM!
