On June 14th at approximately 3:10 p.m. a uniformed patrol officer was driving north in the 3100 block of MLK Jr. Way South in a fully marked police car. The officer observed a male pedestrian j-walk across MLK Jr. Way South, an arterial street. There is a pedestrian overpass (foot bridge) about 15 feet to the north of where the male pedestrian j-walked. The officer stopped the pedestrian. While interacting with the 18-year-old male pedestrian, the officer observed four female pedestrians j-walk at the same location that the male pedestrian just had. The officer instructed the females to step over to his vehicle. They were verbally antagonistic toward the officer. One female subject turned and began to walk away. The officer again instructed her to step over to his car. She continued to walk away and appeared to raise her hand in a dismissive gesture. The officer contacted the female subject and began escorting her back toward his car. The female subject began to tense up her arm and pull away from the officer while yelling at him. Once at the patrol car the female subject refused to obey the officer’s commands to place her hands on the car. When the officer again tried to gain control of her, she pulled away and twisted, breaking free of the officer’s grip several times.
At this time a large crowd gathered around the officer. When the officer tried to handcuff the female subject, another female subject intervened. The second female subject placed her hands on the officer’s arm, causing the officer to believe she was attempting to physically affect the first subject’s escape. The officer pushed the second subject back, but she again came at the officer, at which time he punched her. The second subject moved away and the officer was able to handcuff the first subject and place her in the back seat of his patrol car.
As the officer contacted and subsequently escorted the second subject over to his patrol car, she too tried to pull and twist away from him. The officer restrained her until backup officers arrived, at which time the second subject was handcuffed.
Suspect #1, a 19-year-old female, was booked into the King County Jail for Obstructing an Officer. Suspect #2, a 17-year-old female, was booked into the Youth Service Center for Investigation of Assault on an Officer. Both suspects were cited for j-walking. Nobody appeared to be injured as a result of the altercation. SFD medics responded and evaluated suspect #2 as a precautionary measure.
So the cop should have handcuffed the woman without using physical force....and when that didn't work he should have had his Taser in one hand and OC spray in the other and used those weapons against his attackers without hitting any of the bystanders....

Gotcha.
Yeah right you don't have nothing.
He should of pulled out he baton as a visible means of portraying he's not playing. Real cops do everyday. You don't hear or see cops punching women on a daily basis. Do you?

Hang on...now he should have pulled out his baton???
And if she refuses still,what then?
He cannot hit her with it.
Like I said from the beginning he should of had the one chick handcuffed in the car in like 40 seconds if he had strength. There wouldn't be a need to use Mace or a Tazer.

OZ, you're arguing with an...
This cop is white in a black community. He was asulted by two black women who were both beating on him but it's being called excessive force. When whitey gets it by the black community its justice. This is racism at its finest on this board.
Two white chics beating on a black cop would have been a freaking hate crime!
Hit arms and legs to disable her. Thats what a baton is use for.
So you CAN hit a woman,just in the legs and arms....

Punching a woman in the face is for Pansies.
Why is that?Can you explain why a punch to the head is not a good method of gaining control...especially considering it worked in the video?

Look if thats your way of getting out of a situation with two women you can never be convinced.
It is one way,I personally would have treated her just like any other person resisting arrest and knocked her to the ground....resulting in her getting to eat pavement and taste her own blood....
Your sexist view of women is rather sickening.....it's too bad you don't know very many women.......you might've learned that they're not all gentle little hot house flowers....but you ignore that....might ruin your erroneous sexist condescending patronising and rather stupid view of women as something ""less than" male.
If you look at the beginning of the video,you can see the overhead pedestrian crosswalk....right next to where they jaywalked.
