Yeah, a cop using a taser on a 16 year old would've gone over so much better...? Definitely agree the cops should have been better here, the female cop should be charged for assault. I thought the male cop, at least the first few minutes tried to deescalate the situation. He was communicating with her, telling her to stop doing things, she was clearly not going to be talked into cooperating though. He also had his body cam on which is good, they should have their body cams on.
I don't really know if a taser would have been better or not but I can't see why it would be worse then slamming a car door on an ankle. This is a situation where someone with better training on the issue should have been consulted, for crying out loud.
They didnt slam the car door on her ankle, they forced it closed when she had her leg on it trying to keep it open, but thats semantics, Im not sure either way is very good... I mean yeah the cops shouldve tried something else but the girl was definitely in the wrong too.
It is semantics. But no matter what, you just don't do that to a child. I wouldn't even do that to a husky adult.
Well that's not really the point. My point is it feels like more than half the stuff that gets posted in here is about either white people or cops (or both) doing bad shit in the news.
Well it is because Obama came to bat, his time to teach, to make a difference. He didn't, he punted on each opportunity the teaching moment was gifted.
Funny how the selective outrage clips always distort the entire story. LOL at "punching" her leg. The officers should be commended for their patient restraint in handling a foul-mouthed, spoiled-brat criminal. They could have tased her to end the chase. They could have maced her to get her in the car. She was arrested unscathed. 10 Rotten Tomatoes for her really unconvincing fake crying.
I was referring to the other clips. Your clip showed the whole thing and disproved the fake outrage attempts.
Hey OB, in this one it looks like the female Cop is hitting her. Also on the Males policemans body cam footage that matches up with that, you can hear the girl tell the cop to stop hitting her. So while I don't remember seeing her connect on anything I think we could put two and two together.
Police are trained to apprehend suspects without punching them..violence is simply not necessary..the officer was not physically under threat when she punched the girl. Anyone ever raise a teenager 16 years old? They tend to get emo over being grounded. Cops should know better no matter the circumstance..they are peace keepers...not cage fighters
