Kinloch, Missouri – Theda Wilson, the former mayor of a Missouri town says that she was assaulted by police after she called 911 to report a burglary in her apartment complex.
“In the back of my apartment I called 9-1-1 thinking they were going to help,” Wilson said.
Unfortunately, “help” is rarely what actually arrives when the police are called, as Wilson soon found out.
As the police arrived, Wilson approached them and let them know that a suspicious person was seen going in and out of a nearby building. That is when police told her that she was under arrest, and instead of explaining anything they moved to physically apprehend her.
Naturally, not knowing why she was being arrested she resisted their physical contact and was assaulted as a result. After the scuffle Wilson took photos of bruises on her face and arms.
An eyewitness said, “The three officers wrestled her to the ground. That did not need to happen.”
Wilson was taken to a nearby hospital in an ambulance and treated her for the injuries inflicted during the scuffle. Although Wilson was not taken to prison, she was formally arrested and released on her own recognizance from the hospital.

Captain Dan Clyne of the Bel-Ridge Police Department told reporters that the police officers did what they had to do to get handcuffs on her, and that he was told that she was resisting arrest. However, they should need an actual reason to arrest someone before they charge them with resisting arrest.
“Well, they are not supposed to beat anybody. I’m told that they attempted to place you in handcuffs and you resisted. They got you in handcuffs, you were placed in a car, and a far as they were concerned, they thought it was done,” Captain Dan Clyne said.
During the encounter, Wilson demanded that the officers read her rights, but the officers refused and informed her that they were actually not required to do that.
The entire ordeal was caught on video, and now the Bel-Rigdge police department says that they are investigating the issue.
According to the Riverfront Times, Wilson and her supporters went to the Kinloch Police Department Friday morning to get answers, but officers blocked the driveway to the department and ordered them to stop filming.

Everyone of those officers belongs in jail.
Their job is NOT to beat and arrest INNOCENT people BUT THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY DO.
This clearly proves the cops have no clue what their job is.
The law requires they read the rights.
Maybe that it happened to a judge and a mayor….
MAYBE people will choose to abolish police departments and start protecting themselves….
YEAH!!!!!! WHAT HE SAID!!!!!!!!!
HEY HENRY. MAKE YOUR SECURITY QUESTIONS EASIER; NOT ENUFF FINGERS AND TOES!
At least they beat up a politician this time, but it serves as further proof that they’re under orders to beat the crap out of anyone who shows the slightest hint of resistance.
The message they’re sending the population is “blindly obey in complete submission or you’re going to the hospital.” (or morgue)
EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM…. with the same disdain they show for the American people. They’re NOT “our police”. They’re the commies’ army.
This is almost comical, if it weren’t so sad.
Another rare instance of out of control cops and the departments that stand behind them most of the time.When are ameriKans going to realize these bastards are not there do anything but control them. Taking the job in order to feed a violent ego is more what they did instead of the BS about liking to help people. Beating and killing people is not helping them and the pigs got the reputation that they now have by being and allowing the thugs in their midst to do what they do!
She made the ultimate mistake from the get-go. She dialed 911!
wonder if the idiot will learn anything from this?
probably not
I also wonder if she would do anything about this being that she is a “connected” individual?
probably not
“Captain Dan Clyne of the Bel-Ridge Police Department told reporters that the police officers did what they had to do to get handcuffs on her, and that he was told that she was resisting arrest.”
UNF**KINGBELIEVABLE!!!!
“However, they should need an actual reason to arrest someone before they charge them with resisting arrest.”
Then what the hell are you arresting her for????!!!!
““Well, they are not supposed to beat anybody. I’m told that they attempted to place you in handcuffs and you resisted. They got you in handcuffs, you were placed in a car, and a far as they were concerned, they thought it was done,” Captain Dan Clyne said.”
Resisted to what???!!! These pigs can’t even come up with an excuse anymore. They just say the truth and finish off with an “oh well!”.
GRRR!!!! I just want to go to punch that Captain in the face and send him flying across the room.
So now the cops after the DeBlasio crap, the pigs are going after mayors and former mayors and beating them senseless? They’ve completely flipped their lids and have gone insane.
It’s time to lock and load, everyone.
