Brutality,violence, and a lack of jusice
Cachet Currie appears to be trying to brush by Jeff Roorda ( a spokesman for the St. Louis Police Officer's Association- business manager ?), as he's standing up to make his way to the front of the room.
He grabs her arm, shoves her, and swipes at her face. Everyone in the room leaps to their feet; several men then get between him and Currie and push him away from her:
Jeff Roorda, who attended the meeting wearing a bracelet reading "I am Darren Wilson," is also accused by bystanders of scratching Currie's face.
*gsgs comment- I watched the video. Am I wrong, when I say that Roorda forms a closed fist, drew back his arm, and appeared to be aiming launch at Cachet's face? My guess that fresh wound on her face is from his ring, when he hit her.*
Remember the video of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford running and barreling into Councilwoman Pam McConnell ?
Roorda was in aggression mode, but could not get to his intended victim.
Cachet is in the wrong place, at the wrong time.
He took his aggression and frustration out on her.
What was the trigger that ignited Roorda's adrenaline ?
The stressor was his police officer friend was getting interrupted.
The trigger was public safety committee chairman Alderman Terry Kennedy sassing back to his Authority, by saying-
"First of all, you do not tell me my function."
What was the occaision ?
A hearing thatvwas to allow the public to comment on the long-awaited bill to establish civilian review of the police department, which Kennedy introduced on December 5.
The meeting stayed relatively calm for the first hour as attendees testified to the aldermanic public-safety committee about a proposal to create a civilian oversight board, which would review complaints against police. Both Kansas City and Columbia already have similar review boards.
But when a police officer's testimony drew loud whispers and angry mutterings from the packed room, Jeff Roorda, the business manager for the police union, lost it.

*gsgs comment- He is in a packed room. What did Roorda expect to happen? For the crowd to part for him, as if he were President Obama ?
Who is Roorda ?
Jeff Roorda tells Daily RFT he's trying to determine whether Shield of Hope, the organization managing the donations, is legally allowed to spend the funds on Wilson's legal defense since it is a registered 501c3 nonprofit. Most donors expected their money to pay for lawyers, legal fees and other expenses related to Wilson's prosecution, Roorda says.
"If we find money was donated to the Shield of Hope's GoFundMe and it can't be used for the express purpose it was intended for, we will return it," says Roorda, one of the officials listed on the nonprofit's state records, along with Ferguson police officer Timothy Zoll and Florissant councilman Joseph Eagan.

"...the most troubling (read: repulsive) aspect of this whole debacle isn't the fact that Bruce wasn't charged, or that Judge Theresa Burke didn't watch the video. It's the words of Jeff Roorda, the business manager of the St. Louis Police Officers Association, who not only flat out lies about the events clearly captured by the camera, but claims this sort of footage is being used the wrong way.
Words are exchanged and then; “It’s one forearm blow as he’s trained to do,” said Jeff Roorda with the St. Louis Police Officer’s Association."
Roorda says he can see Bruce crouched down and the suspect moving forward. He says Bruce was only defending himself.
Again, at no point before Bruce hits the suspect are either of the officers "crouched down." Both are completely upright for the entire 15 seconds before Bruce's attack.
"Roorda feels video captured by police cameras should only be used when what's recorded justifies police actions."

Keep telling lies, even though there are witnesses, and video that recorded what happened ?
hmmmm
