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.

You never stated any such thing, but you are on record denying it. That's worth something in todays political climate.
We've been challenged, and we've risen to those challenges. We've climbed the mighty mountain. I see the valley below, and it's a valley of peace. - W
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.

Dakmar, Richard should send you money too. He knows it..
He should, but he wont.

Jethro, I initially wanted to get my side of the story out, but I was attacked from the outset. Now an advesarial relationship has evolved, and I will zealously defend my position in the face of the disrespectful people who try to challenge me. This trivial arrest is not going to damage the city in any way. To call this 15 year veteran of the police force a rogue officer is amazingly disrespectful, especially coming from one who purports to have served himself. You have convicted him on the basis of shoddy circumstantial evidence and hearsay, what a great cop you must have been. The officer will not get his "ass chewed" and the civil case (if it is even pressed at all) will fade quietly into the woodwork once she is convicted on the PI and Resisting Arrest. Perhaps in the course of your career in law enforcement you never had the chance to work around civil law, but this dog just wont hunt.
If you don't get well enough to report back to work, you are on your own. Thank Laura Miller for that one. Seems, Richard, you know quite a bit about the policies of the Police Departments. And you even know who Laura Miller is. This conculsively domonstrates YOU ARE NOT AN INPARTIAL OBSRVER as you have presentated yourself. Fraud upon the court. Next!

This conculsively domonstrates YOU ARE NOT AN INPARTIAL OBSRVER as you have presentated yourself. ROFL, Tom... I know about the policy of the police department because I followed the news story about 18 months ago on the topic. It was on the news nearly every day here for about two weeks.. An officer was shot in the line and was getting cut loose from benefits because he had used up all his time. Laura was the one who pushed for the shortening of police benefits. It was a disgraceful thing that she did. WOW, I know the name of the MAYOR! That is very telling! Yep, I live in Dallas, and I know the name of the Mayor! Clearly that shows that I am not an impartial observer. Oh, I also know the name of the GOVERNOR! And I bet I could name a SENATOR or two if prompted! Ooooooooh!
I was a good cop in the sense that I worked in such dumps, that the thought of giving a ticket to a kid roller skating was the last thing on my mind. No time for such nonsense. This guy is part of a new breed; they’re nothing more than revenue collectors for local government. Yes, he's a rogue. Let him try that same shit in Bed Sty and see how long he lasts...

"Our country is now geared to an arms economy bred in an artificially-induced psychosis of war hysteria and an incessant propaganda of fear." -- General Douglas MacArthur
Tom, No, as a matter of fact, that is not the only reason I feel you are uneducated. I think that you are uneducated because of a number of things. You make wild claims without even doing the smallest bit of research to see if they are even remotely true. Your spelling and grammar are horrible. Your skills in debate are lacking. Your understanding of the legal system is infantile. I could go on, but that should get the point across.
Police Brova Serria Shill ping Now I can call you STUPID. You have earned it,it is obvious you have studied at this , so you have earned it, Richard. Long and hard. A plus, good job Richarcd, you got an A plus in Stupid. Next semester you can try to pass "Moronic", you has gotten the " Studid" prequisite out if the way.

Ok I'll give you that .

Jethro, You are so baised that you have convicted this officer even though you have NO KNOWLEDGE of what actually occured. You have no access to the information from the investigation, yet here you are acting as his judge and jury. You don't have a CLUE as to what actually happened at the scene, but here you are ready to throw the cop in jail and give this criminal money for committing a series of crimes. You must have been Cop of the Decade in New York, you did not care one bit about the law, it seems.
I'll be your huckleberry.
Do you want to play with me?
Well, OK, if you say so. I've been thru some tough shit in my life. I've seen and lived some things that scare hell out of lots of folks and I've never been to war like a lot of people who were lucky to get back in one piece. I'm still lucky enough to be out here kicking ass. Many of the old crowd are gone. I think I recall that story to which you posted the link. I've been in not too dissimilar situations with people high on dope but I was not armed. Though I've never been near with a naked man except in a gym locker room, but there was a toga party once when those two chicks...oh, well, that was a long time ago so I don't have to say any more. It really irks the shit out of me is when I see guys like Richard who are so blind to what is going on. And I think I'm right about him being a lawyer. He fits the pattern I've come to recognize with these parasites only too well. They are nothing more than plundering puppet political prostitutes. And the same can be said for many more payrollers. I have also worked in government service for 17 years and that is on top of the concert gigs, so I know wherefrom I speak. When people really wake up in this country there will be lots of these shysters swinging from lamp posts along with a good number of bankers and other assorted pirates and criminals in government. For the record, I've always supported the cops, but lately most of what they do in abundance is just a racketeering operation. And it is getting worse. The lawyers and judges are mostly all corrupt and they have regular meetings on how they will react when someone does not toe the mark and walk the line in their racketeering operation they call criminal justice. Some time I hope to put together and essay about what I've uncovered and it will not set well with many of those who will read it since it will be an indictment of the average person who has shirked his responsibility to oversee our public servants. I hope your ears are not burning, but I hope Richard's are. ;0)

Next semester you can try to pass "Moronic", you has gotten the " Studid" prequisite out if the way. Tom, Seriously, did you stop taking your medications? What does "Studid" mean? What the HELL are you talking about here?
BTP, Thank you... Your racist comments are always welcome here.
It's a word you, yourself coined, genius.

Seriously, did What does "Studid" mean? What the HELL are you talking about here? Grammer and " you stop taking your medications?" A desparate distraction by Richard. Please correct me on spelling and grammer, I'm not the best, by a long shot. Is grammer the issue here? The "medications" you refer to ????, I am not familier with that, it must be your expertise, and world - it is not mine. Good night Richard.

Dakmar, After all the abuse you have given me you are now expecting me to be gracious? Nice try, thanks for playing.
I didn't start it, pinhead.

Tom, LOL... I know you claim to be educated, but the word is GRAMMAR, not grammer. You are right that you are not the best by a long shot, so you got one right! Way to go! You should be happy with that! The allusion to medication was in reference to the fact that your comments seem to be addressed to conversations that are not taking place on this thread. I am supposing that they may be taking place in your head. If you took the medications the doctors gave you, maybe the voices would stop.
Actually, Dakmar, you did. I posted my statements as an eyewitness to the event. I did not address you in my comments. YOU came along and attacked me. Ergo, you started it. You REALLY are not very good at this, Dakmar.
You have been a pompous, arrogant, myoptic, hubrinic, statist, assssssss. Yse I did misspeLle ASS.

You began attacking me first. And you're still using the same tired tactics.

Good At excactly WHAT, Richard??? Defending the Indefenseable??
"Our country is now geared to an arms economy bred in an artificially-induced psychosis of war hysteria and an incessant propaganda of fear." -- General Douglas MacArthur
Dakmar, Show me where I addressed you first.
Tom, You are not good at simple conversation, for one. Debate, for two. Intellectual discourse, for three. Spelling and Grammar make four and five... I could go on all night, but hopefully that should give you enough to work on to keep you busy for about 20 years.
Please correct the spelling , R, TIA.
"Our country is now geared to an arms economy bred in an artificially-induced psychosis of war hysteria and an incessant propaganda of fear." -- General Douglas MacArthur
Show me where I "attacked" you, drama queen.
We've been challenged, and we've risen to those challenges. We've climbed the mighty mountain. I see the valley below, and it's a valley of peace. - W
Dak, he has told that same line of crap to five or six people that they "are not very good at this." He even said it to Neil and me also. What an ass wipe.

Dakmar, Here is your first comment to me. THIS is where our relationship began. YOU attacked me from the very start. Or do you call people "fascists" and ask them "what the hell is wrong with you" as terms of endearment? ROFLMAO! Care to try again, child?
Richard posted on 2006-01-22 01:18:45 ET Please leave me out of your All Night Dreams about Beatings by the police, Richard, I don't want to keep you busy. " I could go on all night, " Yeh man you have said enough. Just keep me out of your "going on all night" plans would ya??? Kinda sicko to me, I 'm not in there with you.

BTP, Be quiet and go back to practicing your racism.
No, I am really serious, Tom... Did you stop taking your medications?
Thanks for the lengthy reply. I really was just trying to add a bit of humor and did not intend to hit a sore spot.

ost 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.
