Cop Brutally Beat a Child for Riding Her Bike, Charges HER with Assualt

Tacoma, WA — On May 24, 2014, 15-year-old Monique Tillman and her brother were riding their bikes when they were stopped and this young girl was assaulted by Tacoma Police Officer Jared Williams.
Tillman and her brother had done nothing wrong, and were merely targeted by this ‘public servant’ because they had the unfortunate luck to have crossed paths with him.
As the duo traveled home, they cut through a mall parking lot, as they had done countless times before. However, this time, Officer Williams was in that parking lot, in his full Tacoma Police department uniform, yet off-duty, working as mall security. As the teens traveled through the lot, Williams began pursuit of these hardened criminals and accused them of trespassing.
Knowing they’d done nothing wrong, Monique attempted to explain to the officer that they cut through the parking lot all the time on their way home. However, this tyrant was having nothing of it.
As the duo attempted to ride away from a man whose intentions were clearly unscrupulous, Williams attacked. A recently released surveillance video shows the disturbing scene that unfolded next.
This heroic officer ripped the girl from her bike and slammed her up against a parked car with his hand around her neck. As the child struggled to breathe, grabbed her by the hair and flung her around like a rag doll.
Clearly overpowering the small child, half his size, the officer wasn’t satisfied with the damage he’d inflicted so far. So, for good measure, Williams pulled out his taser and sent 50,000 volts into this poor girl.
“He was choking me, grabbed me by my hair and tried to slam my face into the concrete. The next thing I know, I’m on the ground being tased,” Tillman said.
Now face down, tasered, handcuffed and brutalized, Williams stood over his victim like a hunter and his kill. He had protected society from the likes of a dangerous brother and sister riding their bicycles.

Williams then arrested Monique and charged her with resisting arrest and, get this, assault on an officer.
After viewing the surveillance video of the incident, however, all of the charges were thrown out.
Vito de la Cruz, Tillman’s attorney, has filed a lawsuit seeking damages from Officer Williams, the Simon Property Group who owns the Tacoma Mall and Universal Protection Services, the private security company in charge of Tacoma Mall security.
“A child riding a bike should not have to worry that a police officer will stop her without legal cause and brutalize her,” said de la Cruz. “Our communities are weary of another African American child being hurt by unwarranted and excessive police force.”
The Free Thought Project reached out the Tacoma PD to inquire about Williams’ current status and if any disciplinary action had been taken. However, our requests for comment were not returned.
Below is what policing in modern day America has become.

This is why many no longer support the police. Don't they know they are cameras everywhere besides their own cameras? This guy had no probable cause to even initiate a stop to begin with. Hope the girl wins big.

 

Everything looked quite calm until she tried to ride away. Then wouldn't go down and started again trying to get away.

I like how they're just children 😆. Looked about the same height. Seemed rough but then we couldn't hear all the commands she wasn't obeying which would have probably made this entire incident a non issue.

When will people learn you don't screw with cops. You always lose.

Yet another case of non-compliance and getting "upset" when an authority figure gives you a lawful order.

Just like almost ALL if these types of incidents are.

 

She never should have been stopped to begin with. If the cop did no wrong, why were all the charges dropped against her?

 

Why couldn't she ride away? I don't see he had any right to detain her.

 

Because if a cop stops you you don't go running riding away. Who the frack taught you about authority. Do you keep driving when a cop stops you because you don't agree with whatever reason he has. Good luck with that.

Do you tell your boss to (*)(*)(*)(*) off if you don't like what he has to say? Did you tell your teachers to bite you if they gave you a bad grade?

Too many unanswered questions on this one. The cop quickly stops them and had already called for backup. I'm wondering if there was a valid reason for stopping them that we aren't told or don't know from the article and video. A cop doesn't request backup for no reason for two minors on bikes.

Secondly, why did the girl attempt to flee the scene?

I think there is much more to the story.

 

It is truly amazing how the racist will continue to come on this forum and try to defend a cop assaulting a 15yr old girl. It is truly freaking amazing.

 

Oh this is bad.If that officer still has a job..I'll get back with that.
Justice is justice..and that was uncalled for.
There's no right he had to do that.He should be arrested and put into general population.
I know she ain't purty and was probably smart-mouthing..but a line has to be drawn.

 

He's acting in the capacity of mall security. He has no lawful orders to give other than to tell them to leave the property. Which they were doing.

 

Fuhrer's with a cop badge. That's great. Even more repulsive is that there are Americans defending these fuhrer's. You've got two teenagers riding a bike, and the Cop wants to proclaim "trespassing" into an area they had no intention of going into?

These fuhrer's is what makes policing a more difficult job then it has to be. Fuhrer Cop needs to be displaced and never allowed to work as any type of officer again. As an enforcer of the law, they actually have to obey the law, I know that stuns them. Rather than sue the officer, he needs to be CHARGED with felony assault. Assault on a minor, no less.

 

Bootlickers gonna lick.

 

Why do you find racism in everything? What does race have to do with the responses. To say we want the whole story makes us racist? Does eating toast for breakfast make us racist too?

 

This story is over 2 years old. The girl is suing the officer currently. Not much other information to be found.

 

There is an old saying, "a hit dog will holler". Do you think this same cop would have treated a 15yr old white kid in this manner? When did it become against the law to ride a bike in the mall parking lot?

The cop claims she was resisting arrest and kicked him.

 

Why does this even come up now then? Dadgum.

 

From the video, you nor I have anyway of knowing why the cop (who called backup) stopped them. Maybe there were matching the description from a robbery? We don't know. Also, the video is very poor quality, it was not immediately apparent to me the race of the cop or the girl. However, just from responding, everyone and their sister is a racist, right?

Anyway, it's a couple years old. The charges against her were dropped and she is suing him. I couldn't find much more info.

 

So in 2yrs he hasn't explained to the court why he was stopping them.

Yep a 15yr old black girl and her brother on bikes they had to be fleeing a robbery.

Funny that only was apparent to you.

Or is every 15yr old black girl and her brother a criminal.

Why were the charges dropped? It couldn't be she actually wasn't doing anything wrong, could it?

 

Ok, I'm not going to go in circles with you. The two black youths were totally innocent and big bad whitey man beat them till near death for no reason. Don't ask or look for facts. No way could it have been any other reasoning. Oh, and everyone else is a racist.

There, happy now?

 

Well apparently
the other thing I said was censored..That's ok.
That cop was wrong as wrong can be.
Someday..he will get twice the badness he dished out.
That's the way the world that God made works..
,,and That's what I'm sayin'

 

So in 2yrs the cop hasn't said why he stopped them.

Why did the court drop the charges?

Oh btw her 16yr old brother at the time of the incident was also arrested for bicycling without a helmet.


If the lawsuit is bogus why hasn't it been thrown out?

Did the officer make a statement other than saying the girl kicked him which the video clearly shows she did not.

 

And here is how you correct it:

First, we should abolish police unions. All public-employee unions are suspect, given that they're basically organizations to take more money from taxpayers while minimizing accountability, but this is even more troubling where the employees in question carry guns.

Second, we should equip all patrol officers with body cameras that record everything that they do. This actually benefits both officers and the citizenry: When San Bernardino adopted them, it found significant drops both in complaints against the police and in police use of force. In fact, though calls for body cameras initially came from police-reform proponents, now many police support them too.

Third, we need to revisit the idea of "qualified immunity." Right now, police officers enjoy immunity from lawsuits so long as they act in "good faith," and courts stretch the notion of good faith pretty far. This change from the common law -- where police weren't immune to lawsuits -- was not the product of legislation and debate, but of judicial activism: There's nothing about it in the Constitution; judges just thought it was a good idea.

I DONT KNOW!!!! Which is why I didn't claim to know the facts. I never defended the cop nor assumed that the two minors were completely innocent. I know wanting facts before coming to a conclusion is a bizarre concept but I usually like to know. There is little information on the internet.

 

so lets take this from a legal and department policy standpoint... when an officer pulls a vehicle over, he needs a LEGAL reason to... and yes a bicycle is considered a vehicle when its mounted, it must obey all traffic laws applicable to cars when traveling in roadways... so what law did they break for this officer to pull them over? you can't simply be pulled over for no reason, thats illegal, does everyone agree so far? now we look at the charges she was arrested for, resisting arrest and battery on an officer, but we're lacking a traffic violation to give the officer a reason to even pull them over and initiate the stop...

anyone remember being a kid, and riding their bicycle to the local shopping area or mall? you know, kinda like these kids were, granted they said in an interview they routinely cut through the parking lot, but does the officer know they are cutting through prior to them committing the act, or does he just assume they will cut through and thats his justification for pulling them over... so unless the officer can come up with a reasonable cause giving him justification to pull them over, this was a civil rights violation, he restricted their movement unlawfully and they should have been free to progress down this roadway, or parking lot as it were...

now I would LOVE to have heard what was really said between the officer and kids, but sadly that will never come to be hey... but everyone should be outraged when they see a "resisting arrest" charge, that doesn't have another charge validating the reason why they were stopped and detained lawfully in the first place... thats always the critical and key issue, and why most officers are getting WAY better at making up generic charges as to why they pulled someone over, they just need something, anything, and when you don't see a reason why... its why when I've reviewed thousands of videos online, and you come across people asking why they were pulled over, and the officers won't tell them, often because they haven't thought about what claims they are going to make, they'll do that after they get back in their car to run you, and see if they can spot a missing registration sticker, cracked tail light, or the new favorite, license plate covers or holders that exceed the allowed setback from the edge...

basically, there are a lot of illegal fishing expeditions that go on routinely across this nation every day, and most citizens are afraid to stand up for their rights, because this is what happens when they do... if there was no video, these kids would NEVER have gotten off, NEVER... I mean of the thousands of court cases I've reviewed and gone over information on, I can count on one hand how many times a judge has sided with the person who says it never happened, they by default side with the cop on the stand... thats why for years I have been screaming we need bodycams, but we need those bodycams running 24/7 WITHOUT ability to turn on or off "accidentally"... so we can capture everything leading up to, during, and after... I'd prefer head mounted bodycams since we can see what the officer saw as they move their head, the chest mounted ones often are blocked when they drive and you see nothing at all, plus when they turn their heads we can't witness what they did... key and critical information...

but what do I know... maybe the kid told the officer to go (*)(*)(*)(*) himself and buy a donut right? although, thats perfectly legal to say to a cop... so I guess I'm out of reasons to pull these kids over and justify his use of physical force...

 

It doesn't matter if he is working as mall security. He is a cop. And is always on duty tell the day he retires. So they never "off" the clock.
