From this video, we only see what happens after she is on the ground and she was clearly combative in the video. I am sorry but a small popscicle does not make an ice cream. Yeah its like that. You guys are saying like she was laying there like a rag doll and the officer was punching here with all his might into the head. This was not the case. Look at the woman’s arms and what they are doing rather than at the officer. Some could say she was being defensive and they could be right and others could say she was being combative and they could be right. The way most of the posters are acting, they would not look behind the curtain to see the wizard. Look behind the curtain because there is more to this than just this video. Near the end of what is shown from the (gag me as I say this) CNN link, the officer is attempting to get up off the woman but the guy who says he took the video says there was more. He also says in traffic with engines running and his windows rolled up he could hear her head hitting the ground. Something is not right about this guys story here. The window is clearly up due to the reflection that can be seen. Don’t know about you but in rush hour traffic it is sometimes difficult to hear things outside my car designed to baffle most external noises.
While I am not making judgement here as to what is seen in this video but the race card will be played here like the rodney king case especially since the woman is the polar opposite skin tone of the officer. The station that played the link is definately trying to fuel that fire. You mark my words on this as this is SOP for them.
I will wait until the curtain is pulled back to reveal the little man behind the curtain before making a judgement here. People who purport to be freepers and coming to an emotional judgement based on cliff notes there has to be irony here.
Next thing you know people will start saying the sky is falling and the red queen will want to lop off everyone heads.
Thought this was FreeRepublic not DU!
Oh look, tag team.
“Some could say she was being defensive and they could be right and others could say she was being combative and they could be right.”
The cop is on top of an unarmed woman, straddling her and attempting to hit her with knock out blows on the pavement......
And you some how think she it is possible she is not in a defensive position???? LOL! Common man...... I can’t believe you even said that!
Although I agree with you on the race card bit. This is just basically a Thug with a badge that belongs in prison.
