Good break? MAGNOLIA, Texas -- When Tandra Baker, 35, recently moved to Magnolia, she sought out a doctor for depression, but she said her insurance provider told her they could not find anyone who could help. “That none of the doctors out here take my insurance,” Baker said. So in a moment of frustration, she gave them a piece of her mind. “This is why people go off and commit suicide all the time cause you all can’t seem to help anybody,” Baker said. She claims she was just being sarcastic. “Trying to get my point across,” Baker said. The comment, however, led to a chain reaction. Two Montgomery County deputies were soon at her door performing a welfare check. Baker insisted she was fine. Yet, she was growing madder by the minute, and her husband said that one of the deputies appeared to be too. “He told me that, ‘I don’t get paid to be verbally abused,’” said Joseph Baker, Tandra’s husband. Joseph said his wife was soon in handcuffs and being shoved into a cruiser. When she did not go quietly, he said the deputy pulled her out of the vehicle and threw her to the ground. He described the deputy as a “big guy” while his wife is about 4’11’. The impact fractured her jaw, knocked out several teeth, and triggered a seizure. “He almost broke her neck,” Joseph said. “It’s the worst thing in the world to see that happen to your wife.” He claims there were more seizures at the hospital. The Bakers since hired an attorney and have filed a complaint against the deputy. “I wouldn’t want anybody I know to go through this,” Joseph said. “He’s going to hurt or kill somebody else.” “He shouldn’t be a cop,” Tandra said. The mother of five is now at home with her children and has not been charged with a crime. She said the episode gives her nightmares. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department is conducting an internal investigation while the deputy in question remains on the job. ETA:

That cop sounds dangerous, maybe they should seize his credentials and such.

She had enough money to get her eyebrows waxed and her tit tattooed. Should have spent that money on her healthcare instead.

Cops are not mental health counselors, physicians, dog catchers or light bulb changers and no reasonable person should expect them to be. Stuff like this happens when a plumber is sent to fix an electrical problem and then everyone is pissed when the house burns down.

Welfare checks are stupid. But they are also easy.
"Hi, are you planning to harm yourself or others?" No? Okay, sorry to bother you, have a nice night. Fuck you coppers! You'll never take me alive! Okay, sorry to bother you, have a nice night. Why some cops have to make this stuff difficult I'll never understand. |

Yet so many others are ok with the UCF thread.
Welfare check goes like this: "Do you want to hurt yourself? Ok, bye." And I go back to my shady spot. |

When you call the cops you are asking for one of a specific list of outcomes. 1. do nothing. 2. write a report. 3. write a ticket. 4. take someone to jail. 5. kick someones ass. 6. shoot someone. If none of those options are the outcome you seek then call someone other than a police officer. |

Scum hurting scum. Hopefully she dies of an infection, and the cop gets killed by an angry wife/husband/other loser. The world becomes better. |

The cops on this forum either represent the best we have, or the worst. Either way, this "great experiment" is a failure.

Hmm....
Well, being charged does not mean innocent. Mentally ill people are often hospitalized instead of being charged for crimes. It all depends. For her, I have never seen someone open their mouth and move it around, when the jaw was fractured. Unless it is a very small fracture. Her hubby looks 20 years older. As for the overall use of force, her fighting and being taken out of the car can result in her being injured. It would be interesting to see if there is audio and/or video. |

I'd like the hear the other side of the story. Two LEOs come to my door to ask me if I'm ok, I don't think being an asshole is the appropriate response (not that being an asshole should be illegal).
Still, I hate to see a woman hurt under any circumstance. Personally, I think there's more going on here than the we're hearing. |

We don't know anything about the deputy; we do know that the alleged victim is a white trash peice of crap with 5 kids that she undoubtedly doesn't support (welfare, food stamps, etc.)
who expected her medicaid (welfare med insurance) to provide pysch services including all the meds she could ingest/sell. I'm guessing there's alot more to this story than we know. |
