Houston, Texas
"I fear the police," Melinda Granhold.
Grandhold, a mother of two, said she went for a girl's night out and got pulled over on South Shepherd Drive near Westheimer Road for making an illegal turn.
She admitted taking a sobriety test, and failing it, before being hauled off to face a charge of driving while intoxicated."What I did was wrong," Granhold said. "No one should drink and drive, but the consequences should have not been a beating."
She said one of the officers who arrested her slammed her head on the door frame of the police car. She said she was then placed in a holding cell at the police station and beaten by officers.
"In no way, anywhere, was I combative, so I can't imagine why I came out of jail looking the way that I did," said Granhold. She and her lawyer want answers.
"Someone, at the very least, needs to be disciplined. If it calls for that person to lose his/her job, then so be it," said Wilvin Carter, Granhold's attorney.
HPD said the the case is still being investigating by internal affairs.

Cops across America continue to abuse their authority as in this case and check out a story where a woman was beaten by a shreeveport la cop, victim Angie garbriano. See the most disturbing video of a beating taking place against a woman in TX by two TX state patrol cops at WWW.injusticeeverywhere.com. See just how cops get away with such disgraceful behavior WWW.voiceforthedefenseonline.com/aggregator. SOMETHING MUST CHANGE IN TX LEGISLATURE ...COPS MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND NOT BE HELD ABOVE THE LAW . PROSECUTORS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS USE A PRIVATE AND SECRETIVE GRAND JURY WITH A LACK OF TRANSPARENCY ALL THE WHILE, SNUBBING THEIR NOSES AT THE VERY SUPREME COURT LAWS PUT IN PLACE TO PROTECT CITIZIANS FROM SUCH BEHAVIOR.
