Cops say it was totally justified, why she dug her nails into him, he might be scarred for life!!!! He will probably get early retirment with full disability and pension....

Officer acted reasonably in throwing 70-year-old woman to pavement, Glynn County police chief says

BRUNSWICK | Glynn County police officer Kevin Jones acted reasonably Dec. 5 when he threw a 70-year-old woman to the pavement on St. Simons Island and has been returned to full duties, county Police Chief Matt Doering said Saturday.

After Jones and another officer walked Allegrone to a patrol car as she continually resisted, she stiffened her arms to prevent being handcuffed and again dug her nails into Jones' hand and wrist, the report says.

At that point, Jones threw Allegrone to the pavement to stop the assault and was justified in doing so, Doering said.

He got away with a face slam this time. Now he can go for a face slam and a stomp next time. Who knows? A few more run-ins with little old ladies and he may get to add a righteous shoot to his resume!

So, if a cop physically hurts me while detaining me or “interacting” with me, I am justified in snapping his wrist/arm/neck, etc. to stop his attack?

Good to know.

You left out the following statements...

In the dark, Jones wasn’t sure it was her nails so he acted to stop her assault, Doering said.

“He throws her to the ground to stop her from assaulting him and finish the arrest,’’ Doering said.
