Default Re: Police Brutality in Santiago del Teide ?

I have a couple of worries about the whole incident.
The first one being that the woman involved will not return to the island to give evidence.
Secondly that if she does and she is found not to be completely innocent, for example 'drunk and disorderly' This would have repercussions as a 'cover up' and looking at the photos there seems to be only one witness the bar tender. Now giving evidence AGAINST the police when you own a bar is not a clever thing to do. So I have a feeling we will never know the real truth.
What this idiot of a macho police officer should have done is wait for back up and preferably a female officer as back up. (I had a golden rule never be alone with a female or child unless unavoidable and NEVER in a vehicle it leaves one wide open to allegations)
Either way he has some serious questions to answer the main one being that if the whole thing warranted such force why did the woman not end up at the station.
This obviously give weight to the woman's side of the story and would have been in the supervisors minds when they decided to suspend him without pay.
