Never understood the mentality it takes to actually get into a pissing contest with a guy who caries a gun.
I never understood the mentality that thinks just because someone carries a gun, or wears a badge, they are better than I am.
OMG the sky is falling. I actually agree with Zona.
Even though this will turn into a race thing..(starting off with the title to this thread), and I am against bad cops....this man was 100% in his rights to protect himself.
I think mace would have worked beautifully here, but whatever. This could have been much worse.
He should be somewhat ashamed of himself for taking so long to get her in cuffs though.
Actually, by law the police officer is allowed, if not encouraged, to escalte use of force in this way in these situations. From everyhting ive read, it appears this police officer will face no charges at all. In fact the police officers guild said they were relieved that someone actually had a video of it, because it proves the police officer did nothing wrong.
What happened before the video probably has an awful lot to do with the incident, but right or wrong, justified or not, a man punching a woman in the face... just plain seems wrong to me.
I don't know what caused this and I must say that it appears to me that the officer was justified in defending himself and both of those ladies need to be arrested, but I still have a problem with him punching her in the face.
Probably just the way I was raised.
Immie
Sometimes it sucks being a gentleman, but there has to be some way a fully grown man who is trained in self defense can deal with a 17 yo girl without punching her in the face.

You sound a whiny bitch that instead of admitting he did something wrong, hes throws a tantrum and acts like a child. If i was the police officer, im certain i could find a legal way to cite you for disrupting the peace and then id arrest you and you would sit in a jail cell without your gameboys and ipods.
She's a brat, but the cop needs to find a new line of work. He definitely totally overreacted.
Why did it take him forever to get that girl in cuffs? He had every, EVERY right in the world to punch that other girl in the face. She cannot put her hands on him like that, but whats up with him not being able to get her in cuffs? Mace, or at least get her down to the ground.
When a cop is in the process of putting cuffs on a person (even though it took him FOREVER), you do not put hyour hands on him. Period! This could ended way way way worse than this.
I hate bad cops, but this is not the case here.
America doesn't want illegal aliens. America wants documented foreign workers who are willing to do those menial jobs. But the problem is our government has failed, either because of gross incompetence or because of corrupt compliance with corporate interests, to administer an efficient system of controlling the documentation, entry and presence of temporary foreign workers.[...] America needs, no America wants illegal aliens because they do the work that Americans won't do.
I am not talking about resisting arrest, I am talking about resisting the cop attitude that thinks he can "lecture" someone.
When you break the law, youre damn right he can lecture you, and more, so you better listen to what he says and answer with alot of "yes sir"s.
Wrong. Ask a lawyer, I don't have to listen to a cop just because he is talking, and I never have to say yes sir to anything he says.
I think everyone involved comes off looking like a complete doucher.
And I'd also say the thread title should land this in the flame zone.
Meh, i wasnt sure how else to put it. I was kind of hoping for more of a discussion on the cultural differences in "black America" and why they exist.
He should be somewhat ashamed of himself for taking so long to get her in cuffs though.
Most of you probably havent seen this yet, but im guessing it will make national news soon enough. A cop stops 2 jaywalking girls, they get into an arguement with him and they escalate it by resisting arrest and attacking the police officer, at which piint he clocks this 17 year old chick squarely in the face. Its pretty hilarious actually.
If these two had just listened to the officer and not made a scene, it would have never come to this, but innevitably it seems, young black people have this problem with disobeying authority figures to the point of becoming verbally and physically abusive with said authority figure.

Lesson to be learned? Dont fuck with the police if you dont want to get bitch slapped, unless of course someone is around to film it, because then ill want to see the aftermath for myself.
