Why not? Looked like a public service to me.

Because we pay them to do the job in a peaceful, rational manner...because when they lose it people get killed.

Was that girls behavior rational? To charge towards and then put her hands on an officer of the law attempting to subdue someone else at the time?

I don't understand...you seem like a reasonable person sometimes....but you have an almost pathological abhorence to authority.

If you can't see this girl

a) initiated the incident
b) escalated the incident by her repeated refusal to submit and
c) all but DEMANDED some form of physical response from the cop

then that's on YOU...any reasonable person would fully expect to get a harsh slap down from a cop after doing what she did.

Behaviour like that of those two women gets people killed, when they interact with police.

While I do believe that the cop should be better trained in take down methods, if I was to come home at 17 and tell my father that I pushed a cop, my father would have come unglued an given me a real ass kicking.

Real Talk.

Okay, no one else has said it so I guess I have to. How else are you suppose to tell a woman anything? You notice he didn't have to tell the pink one a second time. I bet if he punched the other one she would have shut up.

This is how a male in Seattle gets treated by the police...

Agreed. I don't expect anyone, police officer or otherwise, to react reasonably to an unreasonable situation.

Officers don't get trained for nothing.......they're supposed to USE their training.........So how about subduing the suspect so that they can be taken down and cuffed............instead of being forced to punch, taze, or shoot them?

They work for US, not the other way around. And most normal taxpayers expect cops to subdue suspects in ways that have the least possibility of serious injury or death (yes tazers can kill).

Edit: I still think she got owned Women of a certain race think they can get away with anything

That would be the training that teaches them how to take on a subject, one-on-one, and take him down with minimal chance of injury, or how to act in concert with other officers in order to do the same?
