The Savannah Police Department doesn’t know what they got themselves into now that Cop Block is on the case of Momma Ally vs. Savannah PD.

Over the weekend I posted the video Tarrin Lupo filmed of Momma Ally talking about her ordeal. She tells the story of how she saw a homeless man cornered by 4 police officers and she walked over to ask the man if he was ok.

When it looked like the police were going to let the homeless man go, he turned to Momma Ally and said he was ok. Officer McNally then came after Ally.

You can see the video of Momma Ally explaining the situation here

Momma Ally has now recieved the written statement from the officer that claims she was assaulted by Ally, and she got her camera back. And here’s the kicker, all the footage is still on it so we get to see a birds eye view of what happened.

Here is the police account sent to us by Momma Ally.

On 9-4-10 at 0056 I responded to 502 w Bay St. as a back up officer to OFC.Peterson for a subject stop. While dealing with those two subjects, Ms. Shoaf began walking toward the male that was standing closest to me. As she was walking towards the subject, I advised her not to come over. Ms.Shoaf ignored my command and continued to walk toward the subject and asked if he was okay. I told Ms.Shoaf to leave the area multiple times and she ignored my commands. I had to step between Ms.Shoaf and the subject, put my arms between them and physically remove her. Ms. Shoaf took a step back in order to record me, aggressively sticking a Flip camcorder in my face. I told her to leave and began walking toward her because she would not leave the area. Ms Shoaf had the camera in my face and I was using my hand to push it aside. Ms Shoaf stopped, took a step toward me and shoved me.

Now I wanna stop right there. In Momma Ally’s video, you can clearly see that she did not turn on the camera until Officer McNally approached her.

If you have problems seeing the video, it begins with Officer McNally shouting “I said get that outta my face” and she repeatedly smacks the camera while Ally repeatedly tells the officer “Don’t touch me” and is totally not aggressively shoving the camera into the officers face as she stated. As a matter of fact, Ally is clearly shown backing away from the officer as she repeatedly steps towards her aggressively.

After repeatedly walking backwards away from the officer, you can see in the video that Officer McNally then steps to the side and walks forward out of view of the camera. You hear audio that goes as follows.

Momma: Why are you touching me? Officer: You just fucking grabbed me Momma: I didn’t touch you. I didn’t touch you. I didn’t touch you Officer: You pushed me Momma: No I did not touch you. *muffled audio* I didn’t touch her did I? Male Officer off camera: Ma’am, put your hands behind your back, you’re under arrest.

Ally then tosses the camera to her boyfriend who tries to film the arrest from across the way but it is hard to make out exactly what is happening to Momma Ally at this time. It appears she is being pushed to the ground by the officers and handcuffed.

It looks nothing like what Officer McNally claims happened in the rest of her statement.

Because of the way Ms Shoaf was moving her arms around in an attempt to record me I could not get ahold of her arms; I grabbed her hair and pulled her toward the ground in an attempt to get her lowered and off balance as I tried to find somewhere to grab her to gain control. during this time SCpl Wilson was giving MsShoaf verbal commands to put her hands behind her back and told her she was under arrest. I was able to get Ms Shoaf pushed up against the wall of the store, she was pushing back trying to come off the wall. OFC Peterson saw Ms Shoaf use her forearm against my chest/shoulder area to shove me backwards so she could throw her video camera to her boyfriend. OFC Peterson came to assist in taking Ms shoaf into custody. Ms shoaf continued to struggle with me and OFC Peterson before OFC Peterson was eventually able to get her to the ground using his body weight. Ms shoaf conitnued to struggle with us and kept tucking her hands under her. After struggling with her on the ground, I stated she would be tased if she did not comply. Ms Shoaf still struggled but we were able to get her hands behind her and cuff her. SCPL Wilson retrieved the video camera and i logged it into the property room.

Unless this all happened in the few seconds the camera was tossed to her boyfriend and he started filming, it’s all a lie. Ally does not appear to be waving her hands around to record her and the video proves she took no steps towards Officer McNally.

If ever you are faced with the police in this situation, you should do exactly as Ally did and either cross your wrists together or put them under you and lie on them if you are on the ground, whatever you can to make it hard for the officers to handcuff you. Don’t worry about the b.s resisting arrest charge, all that is is punishment for non-compliance.

When taken to the police station never give out your name or answer any questions. Just because they are telling you to do something doesn’t mean you have to do it. Let them show the violence inherent in the system, if I may steal a quote from Monty Python.

Here is McNallys account of what happened after Ally was taken to the police station for booking.

Ms shoaf would not give her name or any information, just gave her lawyers name and stated we were not allowed to talk to her without her lawyer. The only things she did say was “fuck you” and “you’ll be sorry” Ms Shoaf was transported to CCDC, charged with Obstruction by Hindering (16-10-24), Obstruction by resisting (16-10-24) and simple battery on LEO (16-5-23 (E)). Once at the jail, I had to instruct Ms Shoaf to exit the vehicle. I told her to turn and walk to the jail door, she stood and did not move, I told her several more times, but she did not move. I had to hook her under the arm and use my body to make her walk to the door. When the door opened, I instructed her to walk in and go to the right. It took two commands before I again had to hook her under her arm and use my body to make her go into the jail because she would not follow my commands to go inside. I told her to go to the last red box at the end, she stopped at the first one, I again told her to go to the end and again she did not comply; I had to hook her under the arm and use my body to make her walk to the end of the intake office. She suffered minor abrasions to her knee and elbow during the struggle. At the time of the incident Ms Shoaf refused to give her information and was booked into CCDC as Jane Doe. Ms Shoaf’s identity was learned later

You notice the way the police work, I imagine there was no one at the first red box, where Ally stopped, but that just wasn’t good enough for McNally. You must do what the slave master says, no funny business. If there is one thing police do not like, it is people disobeying their orders or mocking their authority. But have no fear, they work for us and are here to protect you citizen.

In Tarrin’s video it shows another lie by Officer McNally as Ally shows the list from the property room and the video camera is clearly not on it even though McNally claims she logged it in.

It’s going to be interesting to see what comes of these charges. While talking to Momma Ally last night she told me that one very funny thing of the whole ordeal is that she had several other videos on her camera that she made for us here at Cop Block and the police had to have seen them when they downloaded everything off the camera. I would have loved to have seen their faces.

You can reach Officer McNally’s precinct at (912)651-6990. Officer Wilson is her supervisor and was also on the scene.

Remember this incident next time you hear someone talking about the cops. Tell them how the law puts them above you and I, in a totally different class, even though they are our servants. Notice how she is charged with “simple battery on Law Enforcement Officer” and not just simple battery. And she has two counts of not complying with her masters in funny blue costumes. “Obstruction by hindering” and “Obstruction by resisting”

How dare you not do what your servant tells you. Do you see the hypocrisy here? I was wrote up at my job once because I was upset one employee was getting special treatment, I was in trouble for telling my boss how to do her job when I said that employee should be trained for everything.

Now since the police supposedly work for us, why can we not get them for insubordination if they don’t do what we tell them? Serve and Protect is right, only they don’t Serve and Protect us, they Serve and Protect the politicians and their power. If there is one crime that is above all the rest, that crime is disobedience.

You can remind the police that when you call the precinct.
