Sounds like the officer had more to drink than the lady he was threatening.  Dragging her on her back out the door?  I would have been down at the prosecutor’s office the following day, or as soon as I was finished with my doctoring.  that’s really sad.  I hope she wins her case.

The following article disturbs me on many levels.  

Off-duty cop dragged blind woman and dog out of bar, suit says. By Robert Patrick St. Louis Post-Dispatch. ST. LOUIS A federal civil rights lawsuit filed Tuesday claims that an off-duty police officer handcuffed a blind woman without cause and dragged her and her dog out of a St. Louis bar. The suit says that Marvelena Quesada had left Caleco's Bar & Grill , 1010 North Broadway, on Oct. 28, 2013 as the bar was closing, but returned to help her friend settle her bill. As she was paying the bill at the bar, an off-duty officer, William Clinton, "told her to 'get out and get out now,'" the suit says, and refused to wait while she stowed her debit card and wallet in her purse. Quesada heard the jangling of handcuffs, and Clinton saying, "I said now, bitch!

You're

going to jail," the suit claims. Clinton handcuffed her and pulled her and pulled her off her chair, causing her to hit her head on the floor, the suit says. He then dragged her out of bar and down the sidewalk on her back, the suit says. The leash for Quesada's guide dog was on her arm, the suit says, and the dog was dragged into chairs and tables. Outside Caleco's, as Quesada screamed for help, her friend and other patrons successfully urged Clinton to release her, the suit says. Quesada suffered cuts and bruises, a back injury, depression and loss of sleep due to nightmares. She was confined to her bed for weeks afterward, the suit says. The two-count lawsuit seeks unspecified compensation for unreasonable seizure and assault and battery.

Clinton

could not be immediately reached for comment. Quesada, 40, is the vice-president of the Braille Revival League of Missouri, which advocates for the "use, production, and instruction of braille. She was also one of the plaintiffs involved in a successful federal suit against the Social Security Administration that said that the agency refused to correspond with the blind in any way other than printed letters and other notices that they couldn't read. In 2009, a judge ordered the administration to correspond in a format that is accessible to them, including at least Braille and the use of CDs. Robert Patrick
