and a rant, why do these stupid news sites always have their video content in realmedia format?
A L B U Q U E R Q U E, N.M., July 23 ? The parents of a runaway girl with a troubled past say they didn't know what to make of her bruised face and her story about a forceful police officer ? but then they saw the videotape.
The tape, which was made by Ruidoso jail officials, shows 15-year-old Susanne DiPaolo handcuffed by one wrist to a jail cell bench after her arrest, crying and swearing. Then the tape recorded Officer Alfred C. Stinnett as he entered her cell and began arguing with the teenager. DiPaolo could be heard asking for a lawyer on the tape.
Explosive Jailhouse Tape
"You so far are in trouble because you seem to think that you are in complete control," Stinnett is heard saying.
DiPaolo then yelled at him, "I hate you and I didn't say [expletive]. And you're a [expletive] crooked cop!"
Stinnett told her, "If you open your mouth again ? are you understanding me?"
"I'm not listening to you. I don't like you," the teen said, and Stinnett could be seen quickly pulling the handcuffed teen from a bench and throwing her face-first onto the concrete floor before wrestling her into a straitjacket.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Albuquerque on June 13, accused Stinnett of abusing DiPaolo, alleging that he slammed DiPaolo's face onto a car hood before mistreating her in the jail cell, where it says she was left lying on the floor in her restraints.
It also names two other officers, alleging one falsified reports, while another tried to cover up the use of force.
