Seattle - After being pepper-sprayed
and attacked by Seattle police, Jennifer Fox, a pregnant woman who
joined the Occupy Movement, had a miscarriage. Homeless and
pregnant, she felt it was her duty for her and her child's future to
join the protesters.
When the police started to
move in and attack – an unfortunately all-to-familiar scenario now
– she said to the police “I am pregnant, I am pregnant. Let methrough. I am trying to get out.”
Instead of letting her go
the police started to hit her stomach, step on her, pepper-spray her
face, and push a bike into her.
Everything seemed to be
fine until Sunday when she “started getting sick, cramps started,
and I felt like I was going to pass out.” A trip to the hospital
revealed she was having a miscarriage, possibly due to the kick and
pepper-spray that affected her child.
She said she is currently
looking for a lawyer to take her case.
Hopefully one of the
people she sues will be Seattle police spokesman Jeff Kappel who said
“pepper spray is not age specific. No more dangerous to someone who
is 10 or someone who is 80.”
Looks like you're wrong
Jeff, as you traumatized a mother and caused her to miscarry.
