    This is exactly the problem, though. What kind of cop goes through the trouble of hassling somebody for jaywalking if they know full well that it isn't likely to go anywhere? Are they just trying to make a point? "Send a message" ala refs at the Rose Garden? It just smacks of arrogance and instigation.

    If nothing else, it's a way to get money for the city, right?

    Not if judges are throwing it out. Then it's actually COSTING the city (and citizens) time, money and paper.

    I doubt it gets thrown out. Of course, the cop wouldn't have know what kind of brouhaha he was getting into when he tried to cite the first woman.

    It's even harder when they're covered in mud or Jello.

    Well, like I said, we don't get to see any of the events that transpired before the video begins, but I think it looks like he was overreacting to a jaywalking stop. It just seemed like he lost his temper. He lost his cool. He seemed so focused on handcuffing the first girl, he completely lost control of the situation. I think he mishandled it, and I think he should be punished. I think she should be punished too. I don't think he should lose his job, but I hope he learns from the event.

    Do you have kids? Just curious because I think those that do would not agree with you. Sure it's easy to control someone weaker than you, but if you're trying not to hurt them you look like a fool becaue you can't. The cop was probably trying to be as gentle as possible, especially with all those people around. Then got pushed, and he stopped being gentle.

    You can argue that laws against jaywalking are silly laws. But when you try to say that the police should choose not to enforce a certain law because you think it is silly, well, that just makes you sound silly.

    I like getting medals, I like getting cookies, and I certainly like getting handjobs.
