OT: Resisting Arrest

This is a disturbing clip, as seeing a young girl scream like that is just uncomfortable. However, I can't fault the officer for how he handled this. What do you think?

[MasterKiller]

Resist arrest and you get what you get.

[Bamboozle]

Yea, I agree here. The officer did the correct thing. He gave her ample time to stop resisting. Then after she bit him, that was it. The girl seemed like she was loaded anyways.

[The Willow Sword]

The girl was stopped for violating the city's curfew law.

This is the punishment for violating a city curfew law? sheesh.

This is just another example of a racist sh!thead cop doing what they do best.


That is using WAY to much force to subdue a 15 year old SKINNY girl.
I mean look at his size compared to hers, he could have easily handcuffed her in a firm and safe way rather than doing this little abusive dance that he was doing with her.

I say excessive force. i say grandaddy's kkk genes swirling around in this pig's
scr0tum took over.
Down with racist cops, TWS

It's not the punishment for the curfew law, it's the measure necessary to get her to stop resisting arrest. It's actually not a 'punishment' at all.

Problem is, the cop was a Kung Fu guy. Look at that weak Chin Na. Never woulda happened if the cop did BJJ.

Sure, there are racist cops. But I work in law enforcement administration, and I can tell you that curfew laws are how most wanted juvenile delinquents get caught. They're generally wanted for selling drugs (hard stuff, like crack, herione, etc) or violent crimes, and often are arrested while in possession of weapons.

You'd be surprised. And often, juvenile D's with Wants out on them are recalictrant and resistant, and very unpredictable.

I could go either way on that vid. It's always hard to sympathize with violence, especially against a teenage girl. But it's equally hard to sympathize with violence against a cop. You bite the tiger, you're going to get eaten. Teenage chicks are unpredictable and can do some damage.

I noticed it took forever for him to get the pepperspray out of it's holster.

Mika,

Willow has a reflexive distrust of authority and is completely impervious to logic. He has no enemies, but his friends dislike him intensely.

Other than that, he's swell.

That said, I second KF. The girl demonstrated two things: First, she was going to continue resisting; which could result in injury to herself or the officer; secondly, that she was perfectly fine with injuring the cop.

Pepper spray, with the exception of a small portion of the population that has a truly severe reaction, is a temporary, albeit unpleasant, incapacitating agent that allows the officer to subdue and control, reducing the risk of injury to him and the suspect. She was fine, I'm sure no more than an hour later, although when she washed her hair it probably sucked again.

Perfectly reasonable response to a suspect clearly resisting arrest. It was far MORE dangerous to the SUSPECT, to allow her to continue struggling. His actions actually improved the safety of the situation, IMO.

The video is getting recycled on CNN this morning. I retract my statement from earlier, and add to it now:

I would say the officer is clearly being excessive.

Just my 2 cents.
