Whatever she did scared those girls.

Nice job, copper.

This made me think a little deeper. With seven agents, it's obvious that they were going after a big fish. Perhaps a snitch informed them that the high school football team was planning a kegger or something. So they've got their whole enforcement team on stakeout waiting for the cornerbacks and receivers to show up (because you know the cornerbacks and receivers are the ringleaders), and they saw this minor situation occur. Wanting to make the best use of the taxpayer's money, they decided to do an enforcement action while waiting, and then it all blew up when the perp tried to run.

I do not know. That might depend on timing and truthfulness of some of the events. To read this article one is led to believe excessive force came first, and from plain clothes agents waving badges that are not seen by the general public all too often.

Now the writer could be taking liberties with the story to try and stir up controversy. Or maybe the ABC is trying to cover its ass. I don't know. All I have before me at this point is this story in the OP. And as it reads, the agents were out of line.

Donger, where are you getting you other details from? I just read through the thread in DC. This one here alludes to the girl being approached by all of the agents at the same time. The one in DC straight up says it. Where are you finding that the female agent first acted solo?

Hey at least this didn't happen in LA or as part of the Boston bombers investigation, or those girls would all be sitting in a morgue right now.

They don't get money from fines that way.

ABC spokeswoman Kathleen Shaw said in the agency statement released Friday afternoon that agents were working the area that night, concentrating on underage possession enforcement. Shaw said a female agent saw "what appeared to be an underage person in possession of what appeared to be a case of beer."

"The agent identified herself as a police officer and was displaying her badge," the statement said.

"Other agents did not join the incident until the subject refused to cooperate," ABC said. "Rather than comply with the officers' requests, the subject drove off, striking two officers."

"The agents were acting upon reasonable suspicion," the statement added.

Nothing like getting blown away for waving a pen in a wheelchair....and then the cop gets off free.

I've been doing some looking around. There is also this from the original story:

"Charlottesville Commonwealth's Attorney Dave Chapman read Daly's account and said it was factually consistent."

So you have the agency saying one thing and the city's attorney saying the girl's statement is factual according to the investigation that has been conducted. Throw in the charges for fleeing assaulting officers has been completely dropped..... I could be wrong but, the way it reads to me is the ABC is trying to cover its ass. :shrug:

Literally nobody is going to buy their account of mistaking water for beer. I wonder what they were really up to.

Actually I buy that part.

They are dumb cops.

dumb cops literally trained to spot alcohol. Zero chance they f up this badly.

If the agents are lying, go after them. I've no problem with that at all. I'm not under the impression that any cop is infallible.

What are the chances this was a drug bust in booze clothing?

I didn't really think you were.
