On the day Tatyana Hargrove rode her bike to try to buy her dad a Father’s Day gift, temperatures in Bakersfield, Calif., had reached triple digits, so she stopped on the way home to take a drink of water in the shade.

The 19-year-old girl turned around at the intersection where she had paused and noticed three police cars. One of the officers, she said, had already drawn his gun.

What followed, according to both Hargrove and police, was a case of mistaken identity and an altercation in which police punched Hargrove in the mouth, unleashed a police K-9 dog on her and arrested her. Though the incident took place June 18, it gained wider attention this week after the Bakersfield chapter of the NAACP shared a video of Hargrove’s account on its Facebook page that garnered millions of views.

On the day police stopped Hargrove, officers had been looking for a suspect — described as a 25- to 30-year-old, bald black man standing 5-foot-10 and weighing about 170 pounds — who had threatened several people with a machete at a nearby grocery store, according to a police report.

I guarantee Tatyana (racist name) was belligerent and resisted.
She is another example of Democrat agendas and Obama legacy.

The whole story smells of bullshit.

why would a cop just grab some girl out of nowhere and beat the hell out of her?


She did something, likely wants to be a celebrated victim.

You can be sure of that since the NAACP is involved.

Did that lying jack ass Al Sharpton ever apologize for slandering that New York cop he accused of kidnapping and raping a young black girl?

The cops simply sometimes get sick and tired of being forced to put up with whiny little brats like you all day long.
