Jacqueline Deravin, Black Disabled Former Jail Guard, Claims Police Brutality After Losing Eye in Struggle with Officers

Jacqueline Deravin, black disabled former jail guard, claims police brutality after losing eye in struggle with police.

A disabled former jail guard, Jacqueline Deravin, is facing charges of resisting arrest, reckless endangerment, harassment and menacing, according to the NY Daily News. It's a classic case of he said, she said. She claims the cops knocked her eye out of its socket. Cops says she pulled out a 12-gauge shotgun and warned, "Nobody's going to leave here tonight!"

Deravin says she called cops to her 218th St. home June 4 because she was being threatened by her daughter's ex-boyfriend.

She said all hell broke loose when a cop walked in, yanked her off a bed and tossed her into a doorknob: "My eye fell out onto my cheek." Now, she wears a patch over her right eye and is undergoing surgery to repair it.

Cops say it's all nonsense and that a berserk Deravin was pointing the gun at her daughter's ex-beau and yelling: "I am going to kill you. Nobody's going to leave here tonight!" Source
