12-14-10 Petaluma Police- Excessive Force

12-14-10 Petaluma, CA At 1:30 am a patron of "The Rocks" bar was thrown out forcefully by event security and held down while the police came. The police tazered the man three times. When they did this another patron (a 100lb) woman stepped in attempting to help, they threw her on the ground hogtied her while an officer placed his knee on her neck so as to jam her face onto the pavement. The crowd sees this and is LIVID. The police create a barrier telling people to "stay back on the curb" Citizens were asking for badge numbers to NO RESPONSE. The police calls for back-up to any available law enforcement reps. to assist. The sheriff dept. arrives. Unfortunately they do not help, only make the situation exponentially worse. A sheriff HITS a MAN who was crossing the cross-walk legally with HIS CAR AT SPEED. The newspaper Said "Police said the pedestrian hit by the patrol car had reportedly walked into the path of the car. The person didn't appear to be seriously injured and complained of pain, police said." The man was on the pavement crying BEGGING for help. I have never been more appalled. 12-14-10
