The cop mishandled the girl. There is no excuse for man handling a teenage girl in that manner if she poses no physical threat to you.
That's the most sane and rational comment I've read by you.
I don't get it.
What exactly did you expect him to do?
Are cops prohibited from using force on someone refusing to comply with an arrest? What would you do if the situation was you there, surrounded by hostile people, with a criminal resisting arrest?
Just sit back? Do nothing?
What if that girl had killed the one she was attacking when the officer arrived, had he just "avoided force" and sat in his car?
How dumb is this. You people, who have never been threatened by anyone, criticizing a guy facing a potentially dangerous situation, as if any of you know what it's like. As if any of you, have any idea at all of being in authority, in a situation where everyone is hostile.
It's you idiots, that are the reason we have so many bad cops. Who would want this job? Why would anyone anywhere, ever want to be a police officer when everyone hates you, everyone blames you, no matter what situation your in?
The result is, the only people who take the job, are people who truly hate you right back. Then people get shot, and honestly I'm starting to think you all deserve every single death.
