Stephanie Dorceant said on social media that she and her girlfriend were allegedly called “dykes” by a white police officer before that officer attacked her.
But Dorceant, 29, wound up getting arrested and charged with assaulting a police officer, the Public Information Officer at the Brooklyn 63rd Precinct Police confirmed.
A Tumblr post from a third hand source published what it claims to be the photos of Dorceant and her description of the events on that night.
Kim Mayo, someone Dorceant told BuzzFeed News was a friend, started a crowd funding site to help pay for Dorceant's legal fees.
The crowdrise.com page uses a photo of Doceant's blood shot eye, allegedly taken after she and her girlfriend were "harassed, beaten, and arrested by an off-duty NYPD officer," the page says.
The page includes a description of the event that night, allegedly in the words of Dorceant's girlfriend, referred to as Nandi:
... A man came barreling down the street., given that it was 3 am in a very quiet neighborhood, we were a bit startled, and my girlfriend said to him, "Damn dude, where you going?" He responded, "Don't fucking talk to me you fucking piece of shit dyke. Mind your business." Caught way off guard, she responded "What's your problem? Who are you talking to?" This man then pushed her and started beating her.
... He is probably 6ft 220lbs. She is 5'6 110lbs. I am only 5'3 105lbs. He yells to our cab driver, who was still there watching in horror, to call the cops. He doesn't move, and the man is yelling 'call the cops.' At this moment he is still beating her. He has not stopped, and she is fighting to get away. I am trying to pull her away. He's still yelling for the cab driver to call the cops when finally he says that he's a cop. I yell at him "Where is your badge?!" all while still trying to get her out of his grip.
