Cop Body Slams Woman

OK good advice. It's all good kids, if you get chesty with the police I can assure you they will respond with appropriate force. Well they should, anyway.

 

You are, of course, entitled to your opinion and, since you were not there, your opinion is just that.

I did not, in the video see him, put a knee to the back of her head to drive her face into the pavement. Did not see him kick or punch. Perhaps there's more to the video?

In any case, as noted, the officer does not know what's going to happen next. Is she a martial arts expert? Has she secreted multiple weapons into her clothing? The officer does not know. He only knows that a suspect is resisting, with force.

Your preferred reaction, with respect, is how police officers get killed. "Be gentle with her, she's so small!" Personally, I don't want officers killed or injured.

 

wtf? she didn't bow up with the dude. she resisted

 

My law enforcement training must have differed from yours. Granted, I didn't finish my last month at the academy, so maybe I missed this new SOP you're describing.

 

She was told to stay out of it. Told to go away. Now you do what she did next.

 

If you're going to detain her, tell her that, and then properly execute the locked grip. If she fights at that point, then throw her ass to the ground. This guy skipped a step

 

You keep introducing her weight as if it were an issue.

How big do you need to be to use a switchblade, to secrete a razor knife, to carry a concealed firearm?

The officer's actions were appropriate to the situation.

 

She wasn't thrown on the ground because the officer was worried about a concealed weapon under her sun dress. It was for her not being compliant.

Once again, you must have had some seriously different training than I.

 

Then act like she did and see if you can get farther than she did.

 

Why do you keep going down this road? Judging by this officer's quick actions to use of force and skip restraint/detain, I'm sure he would have probably shot me.

 

Tell me again why messing with the police is a good idea because they will respond in an appropriate manner. Well, they should, anyway.

 

I've stated multiple times here that no one should disobey police.

 

Do they teach about misleading video edits at the academy?

 

Nope, but they do teach easy calf presses so one can easily get someone to the ground without hurting the suspect or the officer. Also best to use them so if someone DOES have a camera, it looks less violent.

 

The Kryonian Death Grip would have done the trick. But he used a slow roll to Chinatown on her instead.

 

She was wasted enough (or seemed to be) where an arm lift would have done the trick.

 

Your training, whatever that may be, is not an issue here.
Your lack of knowledge of the specific events is.

I see is a suspect resisting arrest.

I do not see a little girl, I see a suspect. I see an officer minimizing risk to himself, other officers, the public, AND the suspect by using the force necessary to gain control of the suspect.

I do not see punches, kicks, tazers, knees to the back or head, nightsticks, chokeholds, or anything that can reasonably be called "excessive force."

I see that once the suspect was under control the use of force was terminated.

I do not see any issues.

 

Again, you seem awfully prescient for someone with no more knowledge of the situation than I.

I've been told that officers are trained that any interaction involving the detention of a suspect presents the possibility of danger.

The officer's action was taken BECAUSE she was not compliant. His methods ensured both her compliance and everyone's safety.

 

disagree on the context. If this "scuffle' went on for more than the 6-8 seconds we see on the video, ie: it started a minute earlier and she was still refusing to comply after a period of time, then honestly the situation different. No big deal if you disagree, I tend learn my lessons quite easily, some people need to touch the pan even after being told its hot, I'm not that type.

 

That money should come out of the police pension fund rather than taxpayer money.

Start doing that and start seeing excessive force complaints disappear.

 

We don't need to know the entire life story of the two. It's video footage of a cop with body control over the female. That's more than enough.

 

Looks legit to me..
I think the fact that she went down so hard and fast was due to her balance point and stability when the cop initiated the move.

I really like how the blue guy checked that other guy away from the cops, that dude could easily have got shot dead on the spot, blue guy might have saved his life..

 

I agree. There is no excuse for it. There are too many thugs and white supremacists in police departments today. This guy is apparently a power-hungry authoritarian thug.

 

I'm not going to judge his entire character from this one incident. It could literally just be a rookie mistake. There's also a small chance her legs swept, in which case, this looks a lot worse than it was. However, to me it looks like an intentional toss without attempting to detain her when he had body control. Therefore it would be broken protocol. Idk though.

 

It was due to the cop's hold on her. Notice how he pulls and leads her forward and down with his left hand holding her right arm as he raises her left hand behind her in a way to force her to bend at the waist. He was probably looking for an opportunity to practice that throw on a victim.
