police in an upscale neighborhood

2014-10-08 17:30:01.068123+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Foxhall police encounter caught on video and the interaction is fascinating:

Westby then grabs Stucky by the hand, helps him up and makes the decision to leave the scene with him, on their own. In light of the high profile incidents of police brutality recently, it’s a stunning exercise of rights that goes almost completely unchecked by the officers. As they leave, the officer says: “Ma’am. Stop.”

“She doesn’t have the authority to stop him,” Westby replies, “I’m an attorney and this is wrong. Now please leave our neighborhood.”
