There needs to be a law saying when a police officer is fired from one law enforcement agency he is never allowed to work for any other law enforcement agency ever again including private security!

I’m a cop. This was totally an unjustified useof force. From the video I saw, she never tried to hit any of the officers. She pulled away, which is considered obstruction. Our use of force policy says we can’t use hand strikes unless they are assaultive. Fire him. I’m sorry she had to go through this. There are bad cops out there, but please don’t think we are all like this.

All she had to do was calm down and comply!!

People like her are the reason working in customer service is a nightmare.

To all cops: When you fear integrity and accountability, you are no longer the good guys

What scares me is the cops body camera didn’t catch the punches. I feel like they’ve learned how to around the cameras. This beautiful soul is traumatized and I hope she gets justice.

She didn’t help her own case by choosing to react the way she did after given multiple opportunities to change her behavior. Is she not responsible for her own actions? Her actions were not reasonable.

Why is she not held accountable and responsible for her behavior?

😭😭😭😭😭. THANK GOD FOR THE PERSON WHO VIDEO TAPED THIS. THANK YOU... JUSTICE FOR THE LADY

Those blows were personal; that cop took all his frustrations out on her face intentionally. “Here is your MLK day”.

I saw the video she was extremely belligerent and resistant during the entire encounter. The officers were beyond professional.

I've looked at the bodycam footage. The only person who was being unreasonable in that parking lot was the woman. She was originally detained because McDonalds called the police on her. McDonalds is claiming that her behavior in their restaurant was unacceptable. Her biggest mistake was that she kept arguing her position even after it was established that McDonalds had given her a refund in full. She got her money back so there was nothing else that the cops could do for her. As her anger started to build she kept aggressively arguing her position when she had already been given her money back. Her complaints after receiving a full refund were completely ridiculous. She was demonstrating her rudeness and verbal combativeness on video. Which merely confirmed McDonalds original complaint against her. All businesses reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. From the beginning she should have taken her refund, gone home, and complained to McDonalds corporate offices. She could have lodged a complaint with McDonalds corporate in regards to how she believed she was given horrible service. Odd's are McDonalds corporate would have given her a coupon for a free meal in an effort to smooth out the situation and not lose her overall patronage. That is what the corporate complaint department usually does when a disgruntled customer goes so far as to call corporate to put their grievance on record. She kept arguing over a piece of cheese. But she already received a full refund. All she did in the parking lot was treat the cops in a way that proved that McDonalds was right about her. Her angry, rude, and entitled, attitude turned her into her own worst enemy. Her behavior made her look extremely unreasonable to the point of total incompetence. She obviously didn't have the good sense to cut her losses, take the criminal trespass, go home, and move on with her life. McDonalds requested that she be given a criminal trespass order. They have the right to do that. The cops can't decline that type of reasonable request from any merchant or private citizen if the merchant or private citizen can show just cause for requesting it. At that point the cop asked the woman to show identification so that he could write up the trespass order and give her a copy of it after she signed it. She angrily refused and her anger kept escalating. Legally she had no legs to stand on. Once the criminal trespass order was on the table the woman was obligated to ID herself to the cops. She couldn't legally decline the order to identify herself because the cop gave her a reasonable and articulable order to identify herself because McDonalds had requested that she be formally served with the criminal trespass order. Once faced with identifying herself over this issue she couldn't legally decline. That's why the people who audit the police will only film an audit on public property or else they would be criminally trespassed on the regular. This woman was originally arrested for failure to identify herself after being given a lawful order. Both cops told her over and over numerous times that they needed her drivers license to confirm who they were giving the criminal trespass order to. The cops told her that after she signed the criminal trespass order she would be free to leave. She kept getting more and more angry and she foolishly refused to ID herself over and over, again and again. She was the one who kept escalating the situation with her aggressive and argumentative behavior. So after giving her enough warnings the cops told her that she was under arrest. Then she began resisting arrest. Just because you're verbally claiming that you're not resisting arrest, while you are actively resisting arrest, that doesn't mean that you're not resisting arrest. There are tons of video's on this platform that show that once they tell you that you are under arrest, and you start fighting, the cops are going to do whatever they need to do to get you in handcuffs. I've seen people dumped on their heads on the concrete and much worse. Believe me if the cops were wrong I would say so. I always support the citizen when the cops are violating any citizens rights. I can't stand it that cops have - QUALIFIED IMMUNITY FROM PROSECUTION - to trample all over citizens rights. But that is NOT what happened here. This chick was absolutely wrong. Based solely on her behavior the cop was well within policy to use a taser (or any other less than lethal device) on her. So she got off lucky and she took a shot to the mouth and then they got her in cuffs. I kept wondering if the reason she refused to ID herself was because she knew that she had an active warrant out for her arrest. Because it made no sense that she refused to ID for the trespass order when she admitted that she was never going to eat there again anyway. We all have to consider the fact that this woman's attorney is not playing the police bodycam footage in this press conference. He's not showing the bodycam footage because he is well aware of the fact that the bodycam footage does not help his clients case. In fact the bodycam footage blows his clients case out of the water. In closing the last thing that needs to be honestly pointed out is that the only people being RAY - SIST in this case are the three people in this video. The more people play the RAY - SIST card under these ridiculous conditions, the more everybody else will become desensitized to it, and roll their eyes in response. It has come to the point where most people are beginning to realize that... It's the people who scream RAY - SIST all the time who are usually the real RAY -SISTS. Especially when you get right down to it and look at all the facts. :-I

Thank God for the bystander who took the video🙏🏾

I live in Dayton, and my husband and 23 yr old daughter had a run-in with that same cop. My husband left the car running while he went into McDonald's. The cop asked my husband if that was his car was running, and he said yes. Then the cop got in my husband's face and said, "it's against the law to leave your car running unattended. So turn it off now or I'm going to give you a ticket." My husband stated that he didn't know that, and he just left. I hope that this lady gets justice and the cop gets fired.

Your client was the one who escalated the situation......over a piece of cheese. When being trespassed, she is required to produce ID, but it became obvious thar she didn't even have a drivers license. They attempted several times to talk her down and tried to get her to cooperate, but she was not interested.

This whole situation could have been avoided if she had just given her information to the OFFICERS so he could have written the NO TREASPASS notice for her . The OFFICERS deserve a raise for putting up with her BS for as long as they did before taking her into custody .

Do not settle this case!! Take this to full trial and have them both fired and jailed!!

Look at how nervous and shaken she is. I'm so sorry this happened to her. These police officers need to be held accountable for this.

She was soooo extremely out of hand. Extremely entitled. All she had to do is give her name. She was the abuser.

She takes the saying "the customer is always right" literally.....just because your a customer, it doesn't mean you can disrespect the employees telling them to not come to work. she probably walked into the McDonalds all entitled and disrespected the employees, judging by the way she carries herself.

This is disgusting & should have never happened! Trespass doesn't require ID & to use physical violence on a woman for an argument is awful!! The cop that punched her needs to be held accountable & fired. The other officer that pulled a tazer on her, should get the same. These cops are both out of control. They should lose their immunity & pay from their own pocket. The chiefs comment saying her injuries were minimal, shows why the officers act the way they do! He needs to lose his title & be retrained!! BRUTAL!!

She needs hugs and tears of solidarity ❤. She also needs JUSTICE.

She brought every bit of that on herself. She was had disorderly conduct in the McDonald’s, she was trespassing, and she had alcohol on her breath m, and was driving a car that did not belong to her. nor is she have an operators license. then she resisted arrest, but I guess because she is a The rules aren’t supposed to apply to her? They shouldn’t give this woman One nickel.

All she had to do was give him her ID, it would have eliminated all this bcse she sure did give up her info when she got hurt…smh

Heartbreaking, just heartbreaking.

I want to hug this lady 😔 she did not deserve that at all 💐

all she needed to do was leave if she was not satisfied

Ridiculous! Her behavior was that of a small child throwing a fit. All she had to do was provide her ID. That's it. This would not have happened had she done that. It was her responsibility to take care of business with the cop and then she would have had the opportunity to discuss the issue with McDonalds corporate office.

Do not let those cops resign from their positions. Because if you let them resign they will claim qualified immunity and will not have to pay pay for any crimes they committed

What never gets said when things like this happen how traumatizing for life this truly is. She will never trust police or feel safe around them again. How that part gets so dismissed is sickening as well.

She went through a lot for a piece of cheese. If she had given her name for the ticket, all of this could have been avoided. The officer should be disciplined for punching her in the face but in all fairness her behavior started the situation. McDonalds could have just given her the darn piece of cheese. I got a feeling they're going to pay a lot more than what that cheese cost going forward.

To go psycho crazy over a piece of cheese and 30 cents speaks volumes. She brought it on herself by being uncivilized. Sick of people acting like wild animals and then crying for money. And NO, the customer is not always right. Especially when they yell and scream.

Well the chief of police should be fired immediately it's amazing I'm shocked he said such a thing for any person to say such a thing like her injuries weren't that bad you've got to be kidding me these people are criminals they are the real criminals lock them all up and take away their pensions

That officer who did the punching and injured the poor woman, had better be fired. He is 100% accountable.

“Over a sandwich” EXACTLY you r acting out ov 30cent cheese & still acting out once cops get there and all Bc you didn’t want to cooperate, oh until ur in cuffs right? Smfh I hate this shit & the way they try to spin it

She wants money from a lawsuit for HER actions!

She should sue McDonald's, The Police Department and Both Cops !

Bottom line is, the lady does NOT have to ID for a simple trespass. Everything the cops did after they unlawfully demanded ID was criminal!!

If this was JUST over a slice of cheese, then why did SHE make such a BIG DEAL about it to begin with??!! Give me a break!

Scientists have recently discovered the fastest moving object on earth is a woman running from accountability.

This is disgusting, I don’t care about the colour of this poor lady, this should not happen to anyone. Solidarity across all members of the public is fundamental to see change. Love and peace from the UK

The sad part here is the McDonald's employees will be fired but the officers who overreacted will not be. This is the police department serving big business not recognizing this for what it was. A civil matter.

She brought that on herself.

She was the aggressor, she was told they needed to trespass her and needed her ID and she refused, over a sandwhich.

Does the officer put hands on his wife, mother, sister like he did this woman. This unacceptable and disgusting.

She was not cooperative with the officers or their request for her information… why? That would have been the correct response to their requests. She has a part in all of this.

If they're so appalled by what happened represent her for free

When things like this happens. These cops need to be arrested and charged on the spot. I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired. Monsters.

She is her own biggest problem.

Watch the initial video. She for one had a full refund but wanted to make a bigger deal out of it. Had she just given the officer her name she would’ve been on her way. She’s acting like a nervous victim in this video but that’s not the same person that day. She was resistant & belligerent & now she’s suing?? She was pissed when denied extra cheese. And now she wants $$$ It’s a travesty if they think she’s the victim.

To get so heated over a McDonald's order is proof that some people need to be caged

Lessons we learn from this: When police engage in criminal acts, it's OK. When other citizens do the same, they must be charged.

The cops were called after efforts to resolve the matter failed and temper's rose to dangerous heights. I watched these officer literally beg her to sign the trespassing ticket and be on her way . She refused and wanted to leave without signing . That choice instigated the entire event's that followed. At which time she continued to resisted arrest , while hollering " okay okay okay " but never complying . Officer's goals are not too get a suspect to agree to be handcuffed , but too actually get them on as quick as possible to eliminate any possible threat . Unfortunately many people like this are looking to create a lawsuit for financial gain . Like pouring oil on the grocery store floor to fake a slip and fall. BS.

They are going to narrate their side of the story depicting her as an angel.

Very disturbing to see and hear what happened to this young lady!!! God give her peace and endurance through this journey she is encountering through no fought of her own!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🙏

she escalated the entire situation! The End!

Wow I didn't think they'd blame McDonalds for that woman going crazy. I don't think the attorney knows what reasonable means.

As a black woman in 🇺🇸 I'm here to say we are not safe here. I'm glad to see she lawyer up! No Justice ⚖️ no peace!

The culture of any team starts at the top the fact that that this was not an issue until a video brought public outcry speaks volumes

This is ridiculous!!!!!!! Bless her heart. She wasn’t crying and shaking when she was acting tough with the officers and resisting arrests. 😂😂😂😂😂

She needed to calm tf down n didnt want to. That was the problem. She admitted that to the officer, "You arrest me n we gunna have a problem".... Pffft. Calm down love.

This is terrible. Shame on them for their actions towards this woman.

The video rattled my soul! This hard-core brutality without just cause was totally unnecessary and my heart is full of sorrow for this young woman. My deepest prayers for you.

She should’ve asked to speak to mayor McCheese and then none of this would’ve happened 😎😂

Put her behind bars for a long time & give these Officers a raise

You can see the pain in her face. She's trying to stay strong, but it's in her eyes. Massive Hug sis. Outrageous conduct and all should be fired and charge

I am in tears. This is so unbelievable, yet believable because of their lack of de-escalation skills. A wrong order escalated to brutality by the police. Disgusting and so disturbing to the core. Unfortunately, tax payers will pay for this injustice. Police should carry malpractice insurance or the unions should pay for lawsuits.

Letica lol. Got what you wanted huh girl? And you played it well.

How anyone could ever take this psychotic troublemaker seriously is beyond me. If you can’t even go to McDonald’s without getting arrested, you’re the problem.

Like usual all the evil tyrants will be cleared and back doing the same ol same ol. GOD bless you my dear woman. I pray you get financially rewarded for being terrorized by these badged clowns. I also pray the lawyer gets 100% justice for this woman

In my mind I've died a thousand deaths in various concocted hypothetical scenarios. This is one where in some alternative universe I've been eulogized and buried for sending cops like this and several of their buddies, that investigate and pursue his death, to meet their maker if this should ever happen to my wife. It would be my singular motive to cause police everywhere to think twice before their egos drive them to needlessly assault another.

UPDATE for all the cop apologists: The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation investigated the use of force, and, following the investigation, Sgt. Todd Stanley was charged with assault in Vandalia Municipal Court. It was found he did not act under the colour of the law. No matter how uncooperative, unattractive, argumentative the young lady was, there was no need for requiring she provides ID under threat of arrest. And there was no justification for the use of force.

Entitled much?????? She caused this entirely on her own. She was never "reasonable".

OMG I am so upset over this, I can not Believe McDonald's would call police over adding the cheese. When u order something from anywhere and its wrong, they all have a policy for returns and exchanges. Every business has policy. So for this particular customer to break camels back sorta speak cuz some of the employees didn't want to do their job that day. I will not eat at McDonald's ever again is how much I have thought about this situation and I am sorry that this even happened to her I am behind her fighting for her. Prayers for her and her family once again I am sorry and McDonald's is not Americas favorite anymore

We support this woman 100%. She should get enough money from these cops and McDonald's to keep her and her descendants until the Lord comes back. These cops need a long stay in prison until they understand nobody in America can give them authority to treat a woman like they did. They are straight TRASH!!!

Ok... But show the footage too. It was either a punch or tase. Which would you choose? She was treapassing, uncooperative, aggressive AND resisted arrest. Go watch the whole video.this is ridiculous

Two lawyers and a news conference? She's gettin' paid.

This is what happens when you summon psychopaths with guns to settle a dispute over a fast food order. If I came home and found my house empty of everything, I wouldn’t call police. There’s a better chance of me being locked up or killed than them recovering my stolen items.

For a simple trespass you don't have to I.D.! Now if you refuse to leave, or come back, then it becomes criminal trespassing and that is a crime and requires I.D. what trespass were these cop's enforcing exactly? Im your basic citizen and even i know that much about the law.. and this sergeant didn't know basic trespassing laws?!? How much did we taxpayers pay to train this fool?? I want my $ back!!

This isn't the same screaming, noncompliant person that was jumping around the parking lot saying she was above the law. You spent more in gas driving back than the cheese was worth. Get a life and maybe a job?!

This lawyer used the race card within a minute

What a shame. It's like transferring from one branch to another without any accountability. What a sick system of employment.

I work for McDonald's for over 15 years as a store manager. And McDonald's motto is 100% customer satisfaction. That is there first rule. This lady was treated very wrongly on both sides. And she is totally in my prayer my heart goes out to her 🙏🏾🙏🏾.

She probably brought back a half eaten sandwich. Then wanted her money back.Then she got mad when the Police said you can't eat at McDonalds no more and felt like her life was over and then would not give her ID. And she still can't go back to that same McDonalds.

Bullcrap! She wasn’t treated so roughly that she was injured. Another person wanting free money. Pathetic

I feel her pain... Shit has me heated to the max

When a civilian does NOT immediately comply to unlawful orders is it NOW acceptable to threaten, tase, thrown to the wet ground or beat her?? After a cook rejects her manager's instructions and refuses to correctly assemble a sandwich, McDonald's disgusting and vengeful customer service responded to this dissatisfied customer with CUSTOMER CRIMINALIZATION and an unaccountable COP WEAPONIZING!! After being told to leave private property AND complying, she MUST now identify herself?? (in Russia or North Korea maybe)

And she never even got her sammich. Lol.

You can see in the body Cam footage how Loud and irate she quickly gets. It can only be assumed she had the same disposition while dealing with the lady inside McDonald's. And she was more than likely controlling her behavior for the police. So why shouldn't the McDonald's be able to call the police on an individual causing a disruption in such a way? I'd love to see her in that lawyer sitting watching the body cam footage trying to justify the behavior. It's individuals like this unwilling to take any accountability for themselves, that actually harm those who are truly being hurt by the system And systemic racism. Every fool like this woman, Takes credibility away from individuals who have actually been brutalized by the police.

How can a citizen be trespassed if they are never allowed to depart from the property?

I'd rather eat dirt than the unhealthy junk "food" that McDonald's sells. A boycott would serve two purposes; 1) telling them that their racist staff must be fired and 2) vastly improving your diet. As for the police, we know from bitter experience that they are institutionally racist. I hope both organisations get taken to the cleaners by the NAACP and their lawyers.

I hope this lady takes those cops pensions. She didn’t break the law!

And she got away with it. She is nothing!

all she had to do was identify herself! so he could give her a trespass paper!

The reporter needed to ask the police when are they going to stop their behavior!!

That woman's beating has now been shown all over the world.

She broke the law and should do the time. Fact!

No one has video of what took place inside the McDonald's. All we have seen, is the account from this woman......a woman who totally freaked out and became unreasonably enraged outside the restaurant over the police just doing their job. I've seen that video of the incident - the police actually seemed to be on the woman's side of the issue regarding the extra cheese on the hamburger. They seemed to be sympathetic to how she was treated inside, but AGAIN, they and we had only the woman's side of the story. No one knows if the woman became as equally enraged and emotional INSIDE the McDonald's as she became OUTSIDE of it with two police officers who seemed to be taking HER side of the incident. IF she did, then the employees INSIDE the McDonald's certainly had every right to call the police and file trespass on her to never visit that restaurant again. But, they do NOT need such right or reason. They are supported by the US Constitution to refuse service to ANYONE for any reason, beyond certain discrimination such as racial, etc. But we then transition away from the incident INSIDE the McDonald's, to the new incident OUTSIDE the McDonald's. The police were called, so they have a job to do. They HAVE to file a trespass against the woman, and for that to be official, they NEED the woman's official information. They cannot rely just on visual description with no name, etc., because that would not prevent the woman from violating the trespass in the future and getting away with it, nor prevent an innocent woman who fits the description from being targeted by the police mistakenly. SO they NEED her official info. And if the woman was in the right, there should have been NO reason for her to refuse, right? But she DID refuse, and that is what transitioned and escalated the incident into her getting arrested. In the video of the arrest, not only did the woman get louder to the point of screaming at the police as she continued to refuse to give them her info, but at one point she got emotionally aggressive towards one officer, slamming her fist into the palm of her other hand as if to imply that she was on the verge of getting physically violent, moving around in increasingly agitated actions, etc. When after multiple times of refusing to give her info, at one point she seemed to start to comply, and gave her last name, but when the officer asked for her first name, she then retreated back to refusing to give her info further, and that's when the officers decided to arrest her for obstructing the attempt to file the trespass against her. Was the need to hit her in the face necessary? I would think not exactly: two male police officers should have been able to physically contain and handcuff the woman without the need to physically strike her. A lower level of physical compliance would have been to move her to the ground, where once on top of her they would both be better able to control her arms and hands for handcuffing - it would seem untoward to throw a female to the ground, but in my opinion it's a better resolution to simply punching a female in the face - only if the female was throwing punches herself and trying to physically harm the officers would IMO such physical assault in return be appropriate. But it never got to that point. But at that stage of the incident, the arrest of the woman was entirely justified, and brought on entirely by the actions and decisions of the woman herself. So while the punch could have been avoided, everything else resides on the shoulders of the arrested woman. She made her choices......

These vedios show a tendency of cops to arrive on the scene, after getting a call, already deciding the person is guilty without first doing an investigation.

I'm sorry this happened to her and glad she wasn't seriously injured or killed. This should have been handled differently. That person who called the police on her should be fired and Mc Donald's should have some responsibility.
