wow....

shit, here we go again having to listen to freedumb and all y'all defend this thug.

thanks SF.

Here we go again, laughing at DTS attacking police while pretending he's just like George Washington.

What would you have done if you'd been there?

"Risked your life to defend your beliefs"?

sorry, but no. Hitting her with a closed fist in the face was not justified. He was justified in arresting her. If he felt in over his head he could have awaited backup.
Oh, so he should have slapped her? That would have likely escalated her attack on him, not stopped it.
 
So you feel that there's no way that one or two women could ever cause you an injury!!

How did you get THAT out of what I said. He has mace. Use it. He can walk away and wait for backup. There are many options that he had available. Bottom line... he got in over his head, panicked and fucked up.
 
Remember, hitting women is not funny people (I think Billy started this, as per usual). Let's not have another open demonstration in front of the ladies about how big of pansies that men can be...

This has been a reminder from JPP that violence against women will land you in Hell.

My sentiments exactly. This guy must be a rookie. A veteran cop wouldnt' have allowed a jay walking incident to escalate into this kind of situation. This dude needs to find another line of work. He's not cut out to be a cop.
 
From watching the video, I have to conclude that he didn't pay much attention during his training to restraining techniques. That was pretty lame to say the least. The punch itself was totally out of line; he should have had far better control from the outset.

At the same time, I doubt that he expected any sort of physical confrontation associated with a jaywalking stop, either!
I blame that on him too. I'd like to have seen a video of how he handled that. My guess is he came off like a storm trooper and thus the emotional response for the young lady. This has all the markings on an inexperienced rookie cop.
 
I would agree that if he keeps his job, he should be required to go through training again. He looked completely inept at restraining her. It is not that hard to get a simple arm bar in place to put the cuffs on.
No doubt. I held a kid I caught stealing a bike for 15 minutes in a thumb lock while waiting for the cops with less problem then that cop had with this little woman.
 
Had it been a man, would the punch have been justified? The short simple answer is yes. He could have legitimately pulled pepper spray and nuked her. Yes the punch was shocking, but not out of line. She was escalating and continued to fight not only the officer but the guy trying to keep her away from the cop. This is one time I think the cop was in over his head but not out of line using force.
Unless the cop getting in over his head set up the incident to begin with.
 
I think the officer used poor judgment based on what I saw. He should have NEVER attempted any sort of arrest or apprehension under those circumstances, he is very lucky someone wasn't killed. The situation was out of control for way too long, and he should have known and understood the danger of that and gone to his car to call for backup. Nothing was happening that he needed to make an arrest at that time, and I just don't see how he could have used such terrible judgment.

I don't see a police brutality issue with the punch, she jumped on him while he was trying to cuff the other woman, and his reaction was defensive in nature, I can cut him some slack there, although it is exactly that kind of thing that can cause an out of control situation to turn tragic fast.
I agree Dixie. The first job of a peace officer is to control the situation, to maintain the peace and to prevent such situations from getting out of hand. This gay failed miserably. He created the situation, made it worse then handled it miserably. I wouldn't fire him, per se, so much for hitting the young lady but for incompetence.

And while he's waiting for the backup, how does he keep them from leaving??
