Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta‘s Tommie Lee said Tuesday that she was battered by police for no reason back in January, sharing a video of the incident on Instagram. She was arrested in the melee as well, but the police report is now available, and it would appear there’s much more to the story. TMZ reports that when the cops pulled her Jeep over in January, they “noticed lots of movement in the vehicle.” The guy who was in the driver’s seat when they approached the window lied at first, but then admitted that he’d switched with Tommie (who was now in the back,) and that she was the real driver. She refused to exit the vehicle when asked multiple times, thus resulting in the struggle captured on camera. She was then arrested for drunk driving, disorderly conduct and driving on an expired license. She also peed on herself on the way to the police station. Tommie says she did nothing wrong, but blames the cops for not taking her to a bathroom for the latter issue. Check out the video below and the alleged injuries in the gallery.

(Video) What Would Plies Do?: Check Out What Plies Does When He Gets Pulled Over By Police
It seems as if police brutality is at an all time high. From what we see on the news police are trigger happy when it comes to black people. Philando Castile was racially profiled due to his “wide nose” and less than two minutes after being pulled over a police officer shot and killed him. Castile notified the officer that he did have a gun and that he did have a gun permit and was licensed to carry. When reaching for his license he was shot in front of his girlfriend and daughter. This is an extremely sad story and it’s making people wonder “can I reach for anything?” or do you just sit there. Well Plies has a message for any police officer who pulls him over and I have to say I think I would do the same thing.
