We hate having to call cops out - but when you're wrong, you're wrong. A Midland police officer pepper-sprayed a seated citizen inside City Hall who was requesting paperwork. Vicente Jimenez III went to Midland City Hall on July 2 to request a Notice of Claim form. He spent... roughly 30 minutes speaking with Strategic Communications Director Stewart Doreen. Video shows him seated and speaking without raising his voice or becoming violent. Officer Sanchez arrived, ordered him to leave, pulled him from the chair when he asked for her supervisor, warned him, and then deployed pepper spray inside the public building. A second officer handcuffed him outside, took his phone, and he was transported to the hospital while expressing concern about his heart condition and the extreme heat. He was later released with no charges after officials reviewed the footage. There was no identified crime. No charges. A citizen asking his government for paperwork ended up sprayed, cuffed, and hospitalized. On behalf of the largest police news outlet in the world... the is BS. This use of force was unjustified. Officer Sanchez should be fired. The second officer who assisted in the handcuffing and phone seizure should also face disciplinary charges. #MidlandTX #Insanityshow more

No. you got that wrong. she and her cohort should be fired, arrested, and charged with aggravated assault. let's be real.

This is why females can’t be cops. They don’t have the physical or mental temperament to take control; they over react and react disproportionately. Fire her now.

When does this become just straight up assault? She was acting well outside her authority as a cop since there was no crime alleged or charged. Am I crazy to think that those empowered by the state to commit violence should be held to a higher standard, not a lower one?

No not fired - arrested, handcuffed, her liberty taken from her, dinger printed, strip searched and remainder to jail pending a hearing in a few days - you need to do better

“Hate having to call cops out”? Let’s be real. If there’s some number of police at a call and 1 violates someone’s rights and the other police say or do nothing, then whatever the number of police there are ALL bad cops. You don’t get a pass for keeping your mouth shut in service of some mythical thin blue line.

@ladybugz443 Maybe if she wasn’t dressed like a stormtrooper she wouldn’t feel compelled to act like one. He has a case for illegal search and seizure. There are plenty of thugs in the world and he was not acting like one. Did not deserve any of that.

Why is it too much to ask that a LEO know 5th grade civics, public access and a little law🤷🏻 @MidlandTxPD is a shithole. They have the same problem in their city government. Then she just gets to go on her merry way? Hell no.

DEI will be damaging to police work for decades. Victims will not find competent assistance. The fraud of hiring by DEI is an installed cancer that will rise within government agencies to the top levels and cost taxpayers trillions.

SUE THE SHIT OUT OF MIDLAND PD. MAKE THEM LEARN THE HARD WAY. IF YOU CAN'T MAKE A COMPLAINT WITHOUT BEING ASSAULTED, THE GOVERNMENT MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE

She resorted to pepper spray because she's a weak woman.....if she had grounds to eject him, she should have physically removed him, except that she couldn't.....female cops also have to resort to Tasers and firearms more quickly because they're too weak to be cops....

Again I say.. Women have no business being cops! I want this victim to have the best legal representation to sue the city, police dept, this woman cop for violating his rights. Unless people are held accountable nothing will change

No crime? I think they abused their authority and they need to be prosecuted and made an example of. After that, the people that hired and trained these people need to be held accountable in a civil suit.

why not charge her with assault? they would have done far worse to him

I don't understand this at all. I'd love to hear her explanation to why she felt the need to pepper-spray and then arrest him.

Amen! As a police officer for 22 years this kind of behavior is terrible.

Why would you hate to “call cops out”? If they’re garbage, you should gladly call them out.

- woman - foreigner - unconstitutional - fire all of them - department wide investigation of training - investigate chief of police We need a reset. Policing isn't daycare for adults. It's not free money. It is taxpayer dollars. With a duty to not violate constitutional rights. Stop it with the damn D.E.I. Stop it with the hire women, in positions they are WHOLY unsuited. Women are women. They are not men. We need to recognize women are women. We are the LAST surviving hominids, because WE recognized as a species, that we protect our women. We're headed for catastrophic depopulation because we're listening to women. Have you met a woman? They're crazy and emotional. That's what a woman is. It's not a glitch. It's a feature. Stop pretending it's not.

@cd_lmh She needs to be fired!! And every cop Knows you don’t deploy pepper spray in an enclosed building where there are a lot of workers unless it was absolutely necessary

@asia742 It’s clear she was being racist, old white man!😡 I hope he SUES and she is put on a street beat in the heat!

You left out some pretty important info. Here is the full story! 👇

Yikes. Someone needs to sit her down with this graphic.

I hope @MidlandTxPD has good legal representation because they are about to pay out big!!!! Disgusting disgraceful conduct from a sworn officer! She needs to be fired immediately 😡

"We hate having to call cops out." Why? You should be GLAD to show people that you're serious about weeding out "bad apples" before they spoil the bunch. Saying you hate calling out bad cops sounds like you wish it had been quietly swept under the rug.

Women should never be cops. That’s the end of the story. They lack the size to address male sized threats, and when they know that they cannot address that threat they resort to extraneous circumstance reactions, and either tase or spray or shoot people who absolutely did not have to have that happen to them. Women should not be cops. I will stand by this until the day I die.

@mkj279 She needs to lose her badge. This is exactly what you get when standards are lowered. She’s an embarrassment.

Perfect example of a DEI hire. Such a giant attitude in a tiny little weak body.

This kind of thing happens every single day. It isn't just a few bad apples. There is a police culture of disdain towards civilians, especially those that assert their rights.

They over use tactics because they lack the skill set. She shouldn’t be in the job.

How about going to youtube and finding all the bad cops there and nothing happens to them. End qualified immunity.

They lowered the standards in Academies in 1996. Only God knows how much lower they are now but it shows.

Respect my authority!

What is going on in Texas? Fort Worth now Midland???

Why was she so aggressive???? Lord we need to respect our elders more

There seems to be a disturbing pattern of cops functioning as body guards to protect elected officials from the citizens they are supposed to answer to. Citizens who are harassed in this manner need to sue.

Posts like this are why people hate cops. If a citizen had done what that cop did to another citizen, you would be calling for them to be arrested, not fired. And if a citizen did it to a cop, you would be justifying the mag dumps.
