Hiibel was arrested for not cooperating and then charged with battery. He was pretty cooperative about being arrested. The deputy never gave cause for his "investigation." He was the one being uncooperative. Hiibel -asked- to be arrested. There is just no basis that I can see for him to have been charged with any crime. Sure, take him to jail. Find out who he is and what happend. Actually "investigate." But, the charges are ridiculous.
As for the daughter, she came out of the truck, a deputy threw her to the ground, kneeled on her back, and handcufed her. Is this any way to treat the "victim" of an alleged crime? She wasn't running away. She answerd the deputy's questions. I never heard anyone tell her to stay in the truck. She was being physically restraind from getting out. Did she disobey any commands the deputies gave her? What was she resisting? She's certainly a victim of battery now....
At least they were white. No race card to play.
