I can honestly say had that been me things would have escalated terribly at the hospital. I would violently resist restraints. Good chance i’d get shot or clubbed to death by a guard or cop because an outnumbered defender can’t be careful. You go right for the most damage you can do as fast as you can. I happen to have spent years learning how.

If she had died, would the story have come out?

How is it the voluminous records (drivers license, credit cards etc) that ride with us ordinary people were not cross referenced with the state records at DMV and the registration in her car? VIN number anyone?!

This also plays into the worst fears about gun registration. We might wind up with a system that can be used against us but provides no procedural help against law enforcers abuses.

This woman did everything right. I hope she wins millions of dollars and each and every person that failed her due process be charged with illegal detainment, lose any and all medical licenses and employment in the field. The cops need to be sent to mandatory classes about due process, race relations, then fired.

For unclear reason, Brock contends, she was taken into custody and transported to the NYPD’s 30th Precinct, where she was held for a few hours before being released without being charged with any crime. She said she was told to come back the next day to pick up her car, a 2003 BMW 325Ci.

When she showed up at a police substation to get the car the next day, Brock said, “I just felt like from the moment I said I owned a BMW, I was looked at as a liar. They put me in handcuffs and said they just need to put me in handcuffs to take me to my car. And I said OK, whatever it’s gonna take to get to my car.”

“Then EMS approached me,” she continued. “And they said we’re gonna take you to your car. And I’m like, in an ambulance? I’m going to my car in an ambulance? I’m going to my car in an ambulance? I was just so confused.”

Brock was taken instead to Harlem Hospital, where medical records obtained by her attorney, Michael Lamonsoff, show she was injected with powerful sedatives and forced to take doses of lithium.
