Rosscast Episode 7: "Do I Gotta Choke A Bitch...?"

I discuss spousal abuse, judo flips, and when it is okay to headbutt a woman.

Keep Your Shoes On!

Seattle is a-buzz -- rightfully so -- over video footage that has surfaced of a King County Sheriff's deputy thrashing a teenage girl as she was confined in a holding cell. The beating took place November 20 of last year and was captured by a security camera. Once discovered, the video became instrumental in the misdemeanor assault case against Deputy Paul Schene. The girl in question, unnamed because she's a minor, was arrested while riding as a passenger in her parents' car. The car had been reported stolen.

The video shows Schene and Brunner as they escorted the girl into the holding cell. Schene had asked her to remove her basketball shoes, and, as she slipped out of her left shoe, she appeared to kick it at Schene. Schene then lunged through the door and kicked her, striking either her stomach or upper thigh area, court documents say. He pushed her against a corner wall before flinging her to the floor by her hair. He then squatted down on her and made "two overhead strikes," although it's unclear where the blows landed.

The detective who reviewed the video said it appeared Schene and Brunner had the girl under control when Schene struck her. Schene, who is 6 feet 2 and weighs 195 pounds, did not explain his action to investigators, court documents say. He and the girl exchanged words. Brunner said she was "real lippy" after being informed she was under arrest and called them "fat pigs."

The Sheriff's Office policy manual says deputies should use physical or deadly force only when "necessary to effect an arrest, to defend themselves or others from violence, or to otherwise accomplish police duties according to law."

I don’t know if any of you have seen the video of the attack but this girl got her ass kicked. This was a fucking beat down and I am surprised she was able to stand afterwards.

At first I didn’t know what she had done to piss him off so much. After seeing it I was like, “Damn. I have done worse to my brothers…” She kicked her shoes off and they hit his legs. Not hard. They just hit them. Yes, we all know you’re not supposed to attack a cop no matter what. No matter how badly they are beating your ass you’re not supposed to resist arrest. But he kicked her and then slammed her head into the wall. Then he flung her down and started MMA wailing on her with overhead strikes.

After that…Oh, I forgot. After she was flung to the ground she was handcuffed. The overhand punches were given as she was on her stomach. When did it start taking two cops to get a 15 year old girl on the ground? Okay, where was I? So after punching her they snatch her off the ground by her hair and lead her away. I have some questions.

1. How does it feel to be such a pussy?

2. Is this the kinda thing they thought they’d do when they graduated from the police academy?

3. Did that shoe hurt that much?

4. How about the fact that this same cop was involved in a shooting a couple years ago where he was attacked and shot someone 11 time? That is not a typo. 11.

5. How much time will her get for this shit?

If he is convicted he will get a year in jail maximum. This quote of "necessary to effect an arrest, to defend themselves or others from violence, or to otherwise accomplish police duties according to law” scares the shit out of me and answers so many questions at the same time. Now I get why that dude in New York was shot 40-something times while reaching for his wallet. Now I know why Rodney King had his ass handed to him for drunk driving. I get why a man attacking with a rake can be pumped full of lead and killed. And now I get why a 15 year old can get manhandled for kicking a shoe at a cop. This is deadly force being authorized. And that, my friends, is not cool.

Round 2...Fight!!!

National Ledger - Rihanna is out of Punta Mita, Mexico and into the arms of Chris Brown TMZ.Com is reporting. Where are they? According to people they are shacking up at Sean Combs house. What? An earlier report from Life & Style Weekly gave a hint this could happen. The magazine notes that understandably, Rihanna is getting a lot of pressure to cut Chris Brown out of her life, and even those in Chris’ camp are suggesting the two distance themselves from each other right now.

"Everyone around them, especially their families, just wants them to stay as far apart as possible until this whole thing gets figured out,” says a Chris family insider. “It’s just all so complicated right now.”

But Rihanna may need friends and family to back off as well, says the Rihanna insider: "The thing that’s hurting her worst of all right now is the pressure she’s getting from her management and family to write Chris off. You’ve got to remember, after she left the hospital, she met up with him at the hotel. She’s not ready to leave him."Even with the stakes so high, Rihanna may take Chris back. "The people in her life are telling her she could lose everything if she stays with Chris,” notes the Rihanna insider.“But she loves him - and may want to work this all out."

Tell me you didn’t see this one coming? Much like the punches Chris Brown threw at Rihanna’s face, some people knew this would happen eventually but hoped that it wouldn’t. How many women will take a dude back after he beats their ass? Too many.

This isn’t just because they are both well known. This happens all over the world. Right this moment (and it doesn’t matter when you are reading this) a lady is getting her face smashed by some guy. And you know what? The next day she’s making him breakfast. This is why so many assholes get away with this shit. Or murder. If you’re in a relationship and a guy hits you, leave. Don’t stay together for the kids. That’s bullshit. Just go.

The same goes for guys. You have a chick that nails you? Leave. What do you have to gain by staying in these kinds of relationships? Everywhere these two go from now on we’ll all know that he hit her and beat the crap out of her. No matter what they accomplish, this shadow will always linger. Murderers are forgiving more than some guy that beats a chick. Its so stupid and will happen again. Just wait and see. No matter the reasons she “made” him hit her as some are speculating, he didn’t need to beat her as bad as that photo shows.

I’m sure he will still have fans. Hell, I know he will. He still does. There were people shouting, “Fuck Rihanna! She did something to make him hit her!” This is giving me a headache. I’m allergic to stupid shit. This is too heavy. I’ll end with a horrible joke.

What do you tell a woman with two black eyes?

Nothing you haven’t told her twice already.

Puttin' On The Hits!

“Chris Brown was arrested over the weekend on suspicion of making a criminal threat (on an as-yet unidentified 19-year-old woman who may or may not be a big star herself). According to the Associated Press, possible domestic battery charges may follow.”

This falls into my good ol’ “Halle Barry Theory.” I swear I should try and publish this and get it recognized as true. I’ll get to the Halle Barry Theory in a minute. Let me get this out of the way first.

How in the hell could you hit Rihanna?! So far the reports keep coming in that it was her. Some say it wasn’t. Either way, you cant win in this situation. It’ll either be: A. He hit Rihanna, a singer loved by everyone (except me because her voice makes me angry and she looks like a giraffe). B. He was riding around with another girl that is not his girlfriend late at night. C. He hit a woman. Period.

I grew up in a house full of domestic drama. I don’t get it and I never understood why women would put up with that shit. If they say “Oh, I am doing it for the children!” they probably need therapy. As one of those children I can tell you that I would’ve been better off scraping for cash on the streets with my brothers than with the ass we ended up with or continuing the same bullshit for years to come. Chris Brown needs his ass kicked. Here is a quote from him:

“I don't want to mention the person's name - it wasn't my real father - but somebody hurt my mom and me, I had to deal with that from seven all the way to 13. It affected me, especially (my behavior) towards women -- I treat them differently. I don't want to put a woman through the same thing that person put my mom through. I was scared and timid when I was little. I used to pee in my bed...I think it was me being nervous, and scared to get up (out of bed) and see what was going on. My mom used to try and hide it from me and my sister, but we knew. Anybody that's going through it, just try to deal with it, talk it out."

Sometimes we need to follow our own advice. I’m looking at you, C. Breezy. If it turns out he beat a woman so bad she needed to go to the doctor (which she did) he needs to be sent to jail and used as currency. I bet some Chris Brown would get at least two packs of Kool Filter Kings. I’ll get to my Halle Barry Theory in another blog. Rockets.
