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.

Among SO many other things.
You are so gracious, no wonder you have crucifixion complex.
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
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.

Show me where I "attacked" you, drama queen.

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.

Yeah, it's fun for a while, but...

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.
When prosperity comes, do not use all of it. - Confucious Then you have set youself up for a fool, Richard, if you believe what you have written. Belayed by your own comments.

BELAYED? What the hell? be·lay v. be·layed, be·lay·ing, be·lays v. tr. Nautical. To secure or make fast (a rope, for example) by winding on a cleat or pin. To secure (a mountain climber, for example) at the end of a length of rope. Used in the imperative as an order to stop: Belay that order! Uh, Excuse me, Professor Brainic, What the hell are you trying to say here? "Belayed" by my own comments? If you feel that you are skilled in simple conversation and debate, please produce the evidence for this.
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. Richard - any evidence of these rash assertations? Of course not. So why would you make obviously false charges. That does not make sense. Unless you are a lier. That makes sense.

I wish this guy would go into "setup" and click on "content filters" so he can see for himself I have him on BOZO. It's really a shame he is wasting all of those incendiary remarks that I can't see trying to insult me. Little does he know I've been called every name in the book by better than him. He just fits so perfectly the profile of paid shills it is remarkable. No way in hell he is not on a damage control mission for the city or the city's lawyers. Just too persistent over a happenstance search on the web for this moron to be here for so long.

Contrary to the author's claim, the pictures DON'T tell the story... the pictures don't show HOW she ended up on the ground. They don't show the cop DOING anything to her... For all I can tell, she may have fallen down... in fact, the way she's lying on the ground with her legs all willy nilly, SHE LOOKS DRUNK ENOUGH TO HAVE FALLEN DOWN ALL BY HERSELF... Someone afraid of a bigger foe hitting them doesn't sit on the ground challenging them like it seems that she is doing in one pix. The pix fit the profile of a drunken jerk making her own trouble and then yelling foul... Does the video show more? Certainly the witness in the pix whose being told to go (pointed finger photo) is wearing an outfit similar enough to the girl to be assumed to be HER PAL... How reliable is that? I'm holding off judgment till seeing the entire video.
Don't force feed me your views... talk to me so I can hear you...
tee hee... whatta brat you are...

Keep looking thru the thread. It's very long but there is lots of links to videos and other stories about this. I'll try to find some of them. More statements from witnesses tell more of the story.

This has been a long thread and it is mostly the same old shit over and over.

There is no way I'm willing to read 500 comments, especially since so many of them are stupid, personal attacks for one reason or another... My response was based on the initial presentation... I guess it's probably better to just stay away from long threads that I'm unwilling to sift through... LOL... btw, Stepp is significantly worse today... )-;
Don't force feed me your views... talk to me so I can hear you...
Make that 600 comments... oy vey
Don't force feed me your views... talk to me so I can hear you...
Tom, I did not make any false charges. I simply made a supposition. That is what the word "SUPPOSE" should have told you in that statement. As I said, you are extremely uneducated. Nicely done.
BTP, My racist friend, it is clear that you are reading my comments, or you would not go to such lengths to show me that you are not. Sadly, calling you a racist is not an insult, it is simply an appropriate label. I could care less that you have me on a filter. How cowardly of you to put me on a filter and then take potshots. But then again, coming from you it is not surprising.
Tom, In the context of your statement, the word Belay is improperly used. I am not stopped by my comments, they do, however, assist me in stopping you. Perhaps you are just so ignorant that you don't know what the word means even in the face of the definition. I am prepared to accept that eventuality. For a guy who claims to be tired of conversing with me, you sure do go out of your way to do so.
