DALLAS -- E-mails and pictures circulating the Internet tell the tale of a Dallas woman's bloody run-in with police after a roller-skating outing escalated into an arrest with excessive force, but officers and some witnesses Monday told a different story.
The incident happened early Saturday morning in Deep Ellum after police attempted to speak with Michelle Metzinger, 25, who, according to a police report, was intoxicated and weaving through traffic on roller skates.
Images: The Arrest & Other Slideshows
The pictures that stemmed from the events that followed are dramatic. They show an officer arresting Metzinger. Her face is covered in blood and there is a puddle of blood on the sidewalk.
"Very excessive. Uncalled for, you know. We're talking about a 250-pound guy and a 100-pound girl. It was just over the top," witness "D.C." said. "All I saw were her feet in the air and disappearing behind a cop car."
However, Dallas police and other witnesses tell a totally different story.
They said Metzinger was drunk and that she not only ignored officers who asked her to stop skating in the street, but also shouted profanities.
According to reports, an officer then tried to arrest Metzinger for public intoxication.
She resisted and attacked the officer, Lt. Rick Watson said.
"The officer attempted to turn her around, at which time the suspect then reached up and grabbed the officer's -- right part of his face -- trying to gouge the officer's eye," Watson said.
Despite the interest that the story has generated online and in the media, Metzinger said she would not comment on the incident until she had consulted with a lawyer.
Metzinger also had not filed a complaint report, so Dallas police were not conducting an internal investigation.
When I worked concert security and someone got bloodied, it was always proper for us to "get our stories straight." Or, as Eddie Murphy said in that movie, "You were lying your asses off." That LT is a lying piece of shit and so is the black cop who LIED in his report.
I'll tell you one thing for certain, this bastard needs to be caught and given a damn hard ball-batting. And then a WHITE magic marker taken to his forehead and the words BAD COP inscribed thereon. What was done was brutal, inexcusable and unjustified.

Tom, WOW are you uneducated. Most police forces have disability policies that are extremely limited. For example, here in Dallas, if you got shot by a bank robber and could not work, you are entitled to a maximum 16 weeks of paid time to recouperate, regardless of how severe the injuries you sustained may be. If you don't get well enough to report back to work, you are on your own. Thank Laura Miller for that one.
Jethro, Her attorney has made NO comment supporting your wild claims. Surprising that you have knowledge of what her attorney is thinking when no one else on this planet does.
Richard made it clear that he thought that was the case. O - And we had all had better learn a lesson from that as well. Respect the police state or get beaten if you don't. Great Richard, lick the boot with your tounge extended fully and say"May I lick again, sir?" Show some respect, MAN? Maybe the girl warranted it, no one else but Richard seems to think so. But his "We better learn a lesson from this , Brovo Sierra crap really rubs me the wrong way. And he wants to dream about people getting beaten up by the PO. Richard is got some issues. Pomposity and smugness are among the first.

Dakmar, ONCE AGAIN: WRONG. The police can detain you without placing you under arrest if the feel that there is sufficient reason. They do not have to justify their actions to you at that time and you DO have to comply. That is how they can stop your vehicle when you are driving down the road. For example: If you matched the description of a suspect they were looking for (even if you were NOT the suspect), they could stop you, ask you for your identification, ask you to place your hands on the squad and not move, and you would HAVE to comply, or be immediately arrested. If they had a report of someone selling drugs in the area, and when they got there, they saw you and thought you were selling drugs on a street corner, (even if you weren't), they could stop you and frisk you and you could not do anything about it. It is called Probable Cause. You do not understand the law, Dakmar... among MANY other things.

Tom, Are you sure you are not a woman? You are SO melodramatic. Michelle was NOT beaten. Not even CLOSE to beaten. A small cut on the face from falling to the ground does NOT constitute a beating. She resisted arrest and assaulted a police officer... all she got was a small cut on the face? Oh yeah, a real Rodney King moment there... LOL
You are an idiot for trying to argue with rhetoric. You think you're important for doing so too, it seems.

Dakmar, I am just trying to educate you as you clearly do not understand the law. You can be detained provided that the police can show cause for doing so. They do NOT have to show cause to you.
Richard my dear friend. It's called experience. One day you too might have some.

Jethro, my dulcet darling, I have plenty of experience in this arena. Her attorney has been VERY quiet considering the publicity this thing had at the start. They would have capitalized on that momentum had they intended on pressing the civil suit. Not to do so is suicidal for their case. Her attorney is not going to pursue the civil case because there is no money in it. She will be going into that trial admitting that she, a professional rollerderby chick who fights for a living, had resisted arrest and was drunk at the scene. The jury would spend most of there time in deliberation just laughing and saying "she wants MONEY for this?"
Dakmar, Thanks for your unbiased opinion. Hey, you are welcome to it. Fortunately for you, you live in a country where those police that you desperately want to fuck will protect your rights to say "fuck the police." Ironic, ain't it? Just wanted to let you know what was what in case you got stopped and thought that you could resist and get away with it. Well, that said... perhaps you should try...
Full of all kinds of assumptions, aren't you chump? You screech about prejudice while you yourself are a textbook example.

Are you really the "anti-Christ"? If so, can you cut me in for 27% of the take?
Well, well, my racist friend. Low.....

Jethro, BTP has on many occasions commented on how there is a problem with the "wetbacks" in this country. He is a racist. Not "Low." "Accurate."
GAK the man want's to dream of cops beating me and seems to want to visualize a man-women. So you want to imply if I feel for the victems of the police state you are gung ho for , I must be a women. No Richard, I am not a women. I do not demand "respect" by beating peoples. I do it the Old fashioned way by slowly earning it. It is much harder that way, but then, you really do have respect. Not groveling fear, which you confuse with respect. Now that you have insulted half of the people here, maybe you should change you attitudes, and apologize, or leave.

Tom, Is English your first language?
Dakmar, I would not be the least bit surprised that you have had several run-ins with the police.
Ever think that black cop could be a racist?
I remember now, you're that creep that pretended to be some sort of Catholic official.

If so, can you cut me in for 27% of the take? I'm in for 5% if you need a pork eater. Not bad Rich, I have not been called the anti-christ since Hi school.

Tom, First off, it is called HIGH school, not HI school. No doubt you did well... Secondly, I did not call you the anti-christ. This all goes back to your fundamental problem of not being able to read and comprehend.
ROFLMAO! Caltholic official? Not in this lifetime, Dakmar! But that did make me laugh!
Yeah, I was kidding in both sections you quoted. I get the impression you are not.
When prosperity comes, do not use all of it. - Confucious Jethro, Nothing he said or did at the scene would indicate that he was a racist. However, I just observed him on this one occasion, I do not know what his personal beliefs are. I would certianly not presume that he was a racist based upon the limited contact I had with him.
Well, well, my racist friend. Low..... Don't call me that, I'm not your friend. And if you think you have insulted me, try again, you missed. And besides, I've seen more hooter shots working those concerts than you've ever imagined, even if you have been lucky enough to have a wet dream. ROTFLMAO!
The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself.

You're smart to deny it now.

Richard, your degree of passion in this case exceeds normal boundaries. You're invested heavily, exactly where, I'm not sure. But despite your spin, and incessant posting, this mess is going to punch a hole in the city's coffers, and in the career of this rogue cop in particular. Now promise me you won't run away after he gets his ass chewed up. OK?
Oh, Dakmar, please show us all where I stated that I was some sort of Catholic Official. LOL... that is priceless!
You never stated any such thing, but you are on record denying it. That's worth something in todays political climate.

WOW are you uneducated. So you are so parochial to think that being unfamilier with police disability torts equals being uneducated?. Your smug arrogence is really becomming appearent. Sophomores think like this.
