This incident was shared by an individual concerned about the actions of a person who purports to “protect and serve.” As you watch the video ask yourself – would it be justified for you to act as does the aggressor?
Date of Incident: 2014.01.05
Individual Responsible: George Gothner
Outfit: Superior (WI) Police Department
Phone: 715-395-7234
An altercation at grocery store ends in cop George Gothner hammering a woman much smaller than him for no apparent reason other than resisting an unlawful arrest. The woman now faces a disorderly conduct charge. Meanwhile, Gothner was not charged with anything and was put on paid leave…
Gothner is now back behind a desk due to the lengthy court process and the woman whom he assaulted is due back in court Oct. 31, 2014 to see what the judgment will be.
Editors Note: It’s not surprising to see Gothner escalate the situation, after all, he and all police employees are trained not to deescalate, but to employ violence to gain compliance. On another note, it’s great to see that not just one, but two others present took out their smartphones to film, and capture an objective record of what unfolded.
