The fact that you and many people in this thread have referred to people as "a black" shows there is definitely an issue with race going on. Oh, lets not forget the gentleman couple of comments ago who just conveniently said oh, its just black people being black as usual..

I watched the entire video.. How does watching the entire video change anyone's perspective with regards to the fact that the officer used excessive force?
Even if i watched the entire video and the cop was hit 20 different times by multiple teenagers, it does not change the fact that her particular action did not elicit an opposite reaction from the officer. The officer reacted emotionally and not logically. The girls actions as an individual have nothing to do with what went on in the rest of the video. I watched the entire video and did not see anything from anyone that would justify the excessive force that was used on that girl. Thats besides the point, even if others were unruly for what they did, you cannot punish the girl for what they did.
The same people supporting the this officer would never support this being done to their kids.. These are the same people that would never spank their kids.. These are the same people that send their kids on time out after tearing their houses upside down or burning down schools but since its a black girl talking, she deserves to be thrown around like a rag doll.. News flash, your kids life is not worth more than this little girl's life..
In life, kids get unruly.. There are other ways to diffuse the situation. Officers are trained to do just that. If you cant handle it, then dont be on the force. You are only supposed to use that sort of force when you feel you are in danger. We still have not heard what law she violated before she was asked to lie face down on the ground. If she indeed violated a law, she would have been detained but the fact that she got let go shows that he knew he was out of line.
Stop trying to make the subject about thugs at the pool, we are focused on the girl being thrown on the ground and the gun being drawn on two teenagers. "America" has a way of trying to tarnish images of people of color in situations like this, trying to call everyone thugs and focus the flashlight on everything else that happened at the pool to divert attention from the real issues.
Meanwhile, no one talks about Waco. There was a shootout, police came. Everyone sat down and had a conversation. Yes they are all upstanding citizens.

she was on a sidewalk..public property.. not trespassing..
refusing to cooperate with the law applies where someone is being questioned with regards to a case in question and the person refuses to provide information that could aid the police. What exactly was he investigating?
if she was being stopped and refused to cooperate, which was not true; At that point, he would have gone from stopping her to actually arresting her. If this was the case where he wanted to place her under arrest, he would have had to notify her that she was being arrested, read her rights to her and made an attempt to cuff her but instead he told her to lie face down on the ground and then proceeded to slam her on the ground while having a knee in her back.
Please tell me exactly, how would her lying face down on the ground after committing no crime have influenced his investigation again?
Dude was on a power trip, stop making excuses

what you said makes no sense at all.. if she was been arrested, she would not have been released to the custody of her mother.. She would need her rights read to her before she was arrested too.. How can an officer tell you to voluntarily lie facedown on the ground without reason?
Stop making excuses.. If you had done nothing wrong and an officer told you or your child to lie on the ground, you wouldn't so dont expect anyone else to do it..

As to your second question, I don't know what her crime was (AND NOR DO YOU), yet you continue to behave as if you do. Newsflash: you do not know if she was arrested because she was being mouthy. Still, regardless of why she was arrested, it is clear that the girl was forced onto her stomach because she would not do so herself after being ordered to do so. That better?
i knew it was going downhill from there when i saw that..

The cry of "Racism!" has become the norm for way too many. . . an immediate excuse for bad behavior when the offenders are being held accountable.
