GA police officer peat pregnant woman so hard she miscarried; He didn't like her 'tone'

Mom claims GA police caused miscarriage over the 'tone' of her voice

A Georgia woman claimed in a lawsuit that police officers in Albany beat her so badly that she had a miscarriage.

In a complaint filed in federal court, Kenya Harris explained that she went to the Albany Police Department in May 2011 to pick up her minor son after he was arrested, according to Courthouse News.

Harris said she waited five hours for her son before informing Officers Ryan Jenkins that she needed to return home to take care of her other children.

“Defendant Officer Jenkins stated that he did not appreciate the tone in which she was communicating with him, and further stated that if she continued he would take her head and ‘put it to the floor,’” the lawsuit stated.

The mother once again insisted that she needed to leave, and that’s when Jenkins decided to use force.

“Defendant Officer Jenkins, without provocation, grabbed plaintiff, who weighs less than one hundred twenty (120) pounds, by her neck and slammed her to the ground,” the lawsuit said. “Plaintiff momentarily blacked out and came to with defendant Officer Jenkins sitting on her back, and with his knee on her arm. Plaintiff was pregnant at the time.”

“Defendant Officer Jenkins put handcuffs on plaintiff and slammed her against the wall. Plaintiff was placed into an interrogation room after she was beaten and handcuffed.”

Harris asked for medical attention, but officers denied the request. Instead, she was charged with obstruction, and spent one night in the Dougherty County Jail.

The lawsuit names Officers Ryan Jenkins and Richard Brown, Jr., Police Chief John Proctor, and the City of Albany. Harris is seeking $50,000 plus punitive damages for excessive force, assault and battery and emotional distress.

I don't know if the cops are all on 'roids or what, but they seriously need to calm the heck down! I mean WTH! Apparently this woman had 4 younger children at home she needed to get to before they showed up. For some strange reason the cop took offense to this and refused to let her leave and did an Indian gentlemen take down move on her resulting in the miscarriage of her 6th child. And no, I'm not going to make a comment on how many kids she has. I'll let you guys go there. I'll stick to commenting on the actions of 'roid rage cop for tonight anyway. Right now she's suing for $50k and probably emotional, which seems fairly reasonable. Apparently this officer is no longer on the Albany police force, but that doesn't man he hasn't been hired by another district.

You gotta watch your P's and Q's around po po and respect their authorit or they will force it on you.

That is not just assault and battery there should be a murder charge added and the cop should go to prison .

I wonder if this was race related being in Georgia. Regardless, there are more citizens than cops and I can see the day coming when it will be open season on the police everywhere and become an all out war, us vs them.

It is disturbing to hear about cops getting shot by the random frustrated shooter or gang banger, but far worse to continuously hear about the cops beating down or shooting people without cause. What is it now, every other day we hear about another one? It won't be long at this rate before a real uprising starts and it will be the local police stations that get hit first.

The good cops will be in the cross fire, but how many of innocent people have been killed by "bad" cops without real justification? They just keep making it worse and I too have suspected 'roid rage in these cases, not that this is any kind of an excuse, it just adds to their guilt for the department allowing it.

This is a prime example (one of many) why I despise LEO's. And yet another reason that I really don't give a damn about watching my P's and Q's around them. I know there are a small minority of good cops out there, but pieces of crap like this is why I pray they don't make it home after their shift! We are nearing a precipice of where we need to either stand up to these thugs once and for all, or just sit back, and let this Police state happen! I for one don't feel like sitting back and watching this happen!

If a regular citizen causes a misscarriage they get charged with murder, ..,. That being said, with everything that happened to her, ..., why only 50 thousand ???

This would be an easy million dollar case, hell, people sue for more just for emotional distress.

Thats odd, and tells me something is amiss.

$50,000!!! i would be asking for a hell of a lot more zero's on the end of that figure and the officers head on a pike in my front yard.

Everyone asks for too much in court to a point that it doesn't make sense. 50 000$ might be on the low side but logically, it was her 6th child, I think she's fertil enough to make another one in less than a year. Asking a million is overkill.

The cop although, should be filled for murder and face the concequences.

we don't know the whole story.

no one whether a police officer or not, i repeat no one just goes around beating on people for the fun of it.
there has to be more to the story. it is a huge jump from being an arrogant police officer to being a brutal thug.

all people are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. i personally refuse to make the claim any citizen, police or not, is guilty of a crime without knowing all the evidence.

A cop in Georgia, beating up a tiny woman. I don't think it was the tone of her voice but, judging by her name, I'm sure it was something about tone, for sure. Just not voice tone.

a reply to: Anyafaj

I cannot understand this cop. He didn't like her tone!!?!?!?!?!?? What kind of crap excuse is that to beat and throw someone down? For gods sake I would have loved to bitch slapped a dozen individual officers because of their tone when they have addressed me.

The rift between police and non-police is growing wider with no end in sight. What would happen to any of you if you attacked a fellow citizen because you did not like their tone? Rhetorical question obviously but there is my point. I seem to remember something about all people being entitled to equal protection under the law. Either the police need to be handled the same exact way a citizen would be in regards to an assault charge, or citizens need to be given the same amount of leeway police receive in regards to an assault charge.

The laws that give extra legal protections and immunities to police officers are not working. They need to be repealed. For many reasons but most important of all is what I mentioned above. Everyone deserves equal protection under the law. I don't care if police think their jobs are dangerous or stressful. That should not entitle them to legal protections & immunities.

When a LEO willfully violates the sworn oath, they are not legitimate anymore.

Occupying army? State sponsored terrorist? common criminal? In any case, the reed can only bend so far.

They are preparing for a totalitarian state and you are the next "savages"

I truly don't know if she did have a ton, or if the officer did beat her up. He is innocent under the eyes of the law. The low figure did surprise me too, but I'm wondering if that's just for medical bills and the plus is for pain and suffering and she's going to let the court and jury decide that? I'll be curious.

maybe that is the price the contact killer is charging her to take this excuse of human being out of any future gene pool .

Don't be so bloody naive !!

Well, that's one less kid she will have to pick up from jail later.

This woman, even according to her own testimony, was never "beaten", that's some hack journalism right there.

I do notice the lawsuit says "less force was required" not "no force".

I bet it turns out that the woman is a non working welfare recipient, living in public housing, squeezing out child after child (the miscarriage,if she was really even pregnant, was would have been her 7th child) for the taxpayers to support, who decided to cuss out , threaten, and harass an officer. Here is a great quote: "A verbal confrontation followed and, according to the suit, the officer threatened her physically if she didn’t stop.When she continued...,"

Hey guess what? You are not allowed to go into a police station and give the officers grief if they aren't moving fast enough to suit your needs. That is disorderly conduct and in a police station it is obstruction.

Also, why did she wait FOUR YEARS to file this lawsuit? Of course there is zero evidence she was pregnant in the first place.

Also, this would probably be bigger news but the police chief is black.

Yes because all her kids are just waiting to become criminals huh?

Getting slammed on the ground hard enough that she passes out not to mention having this pig sitting on her is a beating.

Yes because women with children are automatically on welfare. So where is the typical thug reference?

Hey guess what? You are not allowed to go into a police station and give the officers grief if they aren't moving fast enough to suit your needs.

After waiting five hours it is apparent that the PUBLIC servant is not doing their job fast enough and anyone would say something about it.

That is disorderly conduct and in a police station it is obstruction.

How is complaining about someone not doing their job disorderly conduct not to mention obstruction?

Also, this would probably be bigger news but the police chief is black.

I wondered when someone was going to play the race card. Nice way to support this pig on a power trip.
