It's really very simple. She resisted....her friend jumped in and pushed the Cop!! SHE ACTUALLY PUSHED AN OFFICER OF THE LAW! And no one expects her get cold cocked???? Now he's really fighting TWO women. He's still using restraint because he simply could have knocked her to ground like he would a guy.

The cop is not at fault here.

Not ALL women are weaker than ALL men. Size and muscles don't always matter. NO one should be allowed to attack a police officer.....but please feel free to do so the next time YOU'RE stopped[/quote]

You're meager attempt to insult me tickles.

I was brought up that way, Never lay a hand on a woman. If that teenager had a weapon and she would have really threaten that pigs life. Then she deserved to get punched. That weakling is a poor excuse for a Police Officer. I have 3 cousins that are officers and they all agreed that he should of never been in that vulnerable situation to begin with.

I would pull over and respect the officers wishes. Geez, You woke up on the wrong side of the cave today.

This thread probably has created the most volume of any I can remember. It's only 2 days old, and has generated 62 pages, and counting. If you sort by number of posts in this forum, it's almost up to the first list of posts. Therefore, there seems to be a really keen interest in what occurred here. It's indicative of how flammable an issue remains with regard to law enforcement and the perceived brutalization of minorities.

Furthermore, if you examine the poll, I would guess that most who voted yes are conservative/Republican, and most who disagree with the actions of the police, and for that matter, law enforcement in general are liberal/socialist/Democratic. There is most definitely a corollary between the belief in law enforcement in general, and the political persuasion of people. The one exception, I think, would be those 'conservative Democrats', who tend to be older. That's where the only 'crossover' for the 'yes' voting would probably occur.

The cop in Seattle is a whimp.


YouTube - Crazy Ass Video - Lonely Girl Gets Arrested
1. That was a very little woman! Those teens were hefty and solid.

2. There was no one else there but that woman. No one else was interfering or attacking him!

3. He put her in a choke hold and carried her off! A CHOKE HOLD??? You'd still be yelling "ARE YOU SERIOUS??" "ARE YOU SERIOUS?"

These two incidents are nothing alike!

What makes people think they can obstruct justice and assault a police officer without consequences?


I do not think he mishandled it at all and I am a woman
she deserved getting punched, I hope she got arrested as well
what made her think she could get away with such bull crap??
