Texas Roller Girl harassed and bloodied up by HPD!!

This was posted on myspace, and has been making it's rounds. I made a mirror of the post and
pictures, just in case. This is fucked up. I have seen this kind of shit go on in deep ellum for
years. If you ask me, the police pressence has done nothing more but escalate minor situations. I think
the "cops" are the major problem for deep ellums troubles.

"There was a show at the LIQUID LOUNGE, even though the flyer said Lizard lounge, and it WASN'T free, for some of
our Dallas derby girls. I met up with Amanda outside of Elm St. Tattoo, and there was a derby girl skating from the
bar across the street to the tattoo parlor. No big deal. But a cop stopped her to give her a ticket. Well, she gave
some attitude, but went with it. Kept her hands on the car while he wrote her a ticket. I crossed the street to the
bar, and another skater went past me, nothing happened to her, even though her friend was getting a ticket for skating
in the street.... very wierd. I turned back around to look at the girl and the cop, and I see him wrestling her to the
ground. She's screaming, this tiny girl, is struggling, while about 50 people gather and start yelling. Turns out someone
on the sidewalk yelled something to her, she turned to see the person, took her hands off of the car, and the cop got
pissed. She gave attitude, I think he shoved her back on the car, so she stuggled back up, and he shoved her around.
He was at least 200 pounds. She was about 100. Her face was bloody. I have a few pictures. I was questions, they got
my info to call me. I hope they do. Honestly, this whole mess makes me fucking sick and sad. I want to be a cop, so
it's not like I'm against them. About 6 more cop cars showed up. 18 cops. One ambulance. They're treating us, including
us ones trying to be helpful and nice, like shit. And when we're explaining it to other people, they yelling at us,
and threating us "we'll give you tickets for standing on the street, we don't care!" What.... what the hell? How
ignorant. The girl got checked up, seemed fine, and then they took her off to jail.

The pictures were too large for me to add so follow the URL to check them out yourself. There are eight pictures in all and in one of them you can totally see he is using excess force on the petite roller girl...
