Ex-Playmate Wins $1.2M Excessive Force Judgment Against NYPD
February 22, 2012

A Manhattan jury awarded former Playboy Playmate Stephanie Adams $1.2 million on Tuesday in an excessive-force judgment against the New York Police Department.
The award was given to Adams, 41, for injuries suffered during a 2006 arrest. She claimed cops threw her to the ground at gunpoint after a bizarre confrontation with a cabbie, who refused to carry her clothing into her apartment.
The award was for $385,000 more than what her lawyer had asked for, reports the New York Daily News.

Act like an intelligent human being and you don't have to worry about being thrown o the ground by the police. I am SURE her BEHAVIOR and MOUTH had NOTHING to do with it.

Maybe he made a comment about her mustache?
I'm guessing her sense of entitlement and mouth escalated the situation. I'm sure the jury was just worried that her broken nail impacted her lifestyle. Disgusting.
