The cop was probably yelling “Get on the ground!” and “Stop resisting!” the entire time.
Not sure about this one.
Just saying. This has been posted already a bunch of times.
The snapshot taken from the video would tend to indicate an issue, but the video itself would tend in my mind to indicate the guy wasn’t really trying to whale on her, but instead just intended to gain rapid control - and considering the location and circumstances those may have predominated in the calculations.
I have caught flack on the other threads defending the guy, but I might as well defend him, because I’m not sure he’s guilty of anything.
Just saying.
I bet she was hopped up on drugs and was a danger. I couldn’t be a cop. You get bit once, you could die of aids.
Pardon me but, that’s just BS. No male worthy of the uniform has to do that. I suspect, but will certainly accept a different view, that what we see here is a sadist capitalizing on an opportunity to live out a fantasy. One thing is certain; this is not licit law enforcement.
The cop is not guilty in my view.
“We’re looking at every possibility, every fact, every circumstance that contributed to this situation. And we are going to try to come to just conclusion as to why it occurred,” O’Quinn said.”
Rephrased to “we are struggling to invent a way to justify felonous conduct on the part of our attack dog, we’ll get back to you”
“Just waiting for the police oversight commitee to return a ‘he acted responsibly’ determination, and we do have that rubber stamp at the ready”.
Oh, look a squirrel...
When we citizens get the same consideration, I’ll agree with that.
You must have seen a different video...
She was resisting and he put a stop to her resisting. Once she stopped resisting he stopped. Not guilty. She was a danger to herself and others. Thank you cop for subduing her.
He went “Full Trayvon” on her!
I’d like to make this phrase go viral.
If she wanted to ‘wander’ out into traffic, there is much more at risk than just her.
The car/with occupants that hits her will suffer. Or that car may swerve/hit brakes to miss her, and precipitate a multi-car pileup.
So officer may be taking swift action to stop all of the above potential catastrophe.
Do you mean "Full Rodney"?
Skittles is dead, Rodney survived the attack.
That’s what Trayvon was doing when he became carbon neutral.
Gotcha. Sorry for the double send as well.
No problem.
back in my day, we would have prosecuted many of these cops that are getting off with pretty much nothing. Now the video doesn’t show everything to be sure, but I wonder what breed of Prosecutors we have out there now. Fascists?
The context of this isolated film needs to be understood before leaping to judgment. The officer tried to arrest the woman before she evaded him and crossed over the on/off ramp out onto the freeway shoulder where the officer followed her. It is against California law with big fines to walk on a freeway. She again resisted and he subdued the woman (whether he used excess force is another issue). Then a plains clothes Highway Patrol officer suddenly appears and helps to subdue and arrest the woman. This suggests there was a possible prostitution stakeout of a person soliciting on a freeway ramp. And if you know anything about the world of prostitution the woman could have been a man. So now I have painted a plausible context for interpreting the video.
It’s amazing that a man so physically weak he can’t master a simple come-along on a woman can pass the police academy. But, from my observation a lot of weak trash makes it through these days. Too bad she didn’t bring a dog he could shoot to really let the little sadist get his rocks off.
Most of the responses defending him on this thread for punching her in the face 11 or more times are sickening.
