Thats what I would have done. Once they start acting a fool and being confrontational about things thats when all goes to hell in a heartbeat. Just taze 'em, cuff 'em, an toss 'em in the wagon once it arrives.

He definately tried to be too nice once the second chick jumped in there. Thats when it was, "Tazerin Time!!!!"

Some people just need a punch in the face. She was one of them.

Real Talk.

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.

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.

Gots to agree.

I'm not a fan of cops over-stepping their boundaries but this guy didn't.

His failure was not taking the first chick down hard enough to subdue her immediately.

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