Well she refused the Intoxilizer breath machine and wanted to make a call her lawyer said which she had a right.
Because you want to make a phonecall doesn't mean you can get up to walk away and go make the call. There's a procedure in place and it isn't decided by the suspect.
That said, the officer has been fired (I assume over this incident though I'm not completely clear if it could have been for some other department policy violation since this incident.) And the fact that there's a gap in the video from the time she's in the chair to lying in a pool of blood raises serious questions. I don't care how drunk or uncooperative she was, I can't imagine it was remotely necessary to slam her around as hard as it appeared, particularly after being cuffed.
