it’s entirely fair for your mother or sister to get smacked upside the head if she goes ahead and starts laying into someone. actions have consequences, fuckwit.
You must be pussies in Australia if what that girl did was “laying into someone”… I’m not saying she shouldn’t of had something done for her actions but not clocking her in the jaw, ‘fuckwit’.
Well, uh, to anyone who thinks his officer “overreacted…” Check out around I think it’s 2:27, there’s a black dude that strolls up behind him with a pistol in his hand. I’m not being racist here but let’s be real. This white cop is surrounded by about 15 black dudes yelling at him(one with a gun) while 2 stupid girls are wrestling with him, grabbing around and near his sidearm. Punching them? They’re lucky that’s all that happened.
I just checked the video posted on here, in the real video, you see the guy doing it. found the video I saw, check at 1:47. It at least looks like a gun to me.
hahahhaha, the guy from the country whose regular cops who don’t have guns is insulting the cops from a country where you generally need college education to join.
“laying into someone”, as it applies to the police officer in question actually fits quite nicely here. the chickenshit bitch wanted to gang up on an armed official - she got off pretty damn lightly considering the other options that the officer has at his disposal. You want to start getting physical with police officer, you fucking deserve something as humble as a pretty defensive punch in the mouth. Don’t act like getting rough with cops is like you “ain’t really done anything”. The cop is a rookie, he could just have easily lost his cool and REALLY given her a baton upside the head.
Again, it doesn’t matter who you are, what race you are, where you come from, if it’s your sister or your mother, you’re a human being - you start a fight with authority, be prepared to take the punishment.
Go ahead, try it yourself on the next cop that comes your way.
I don’t condole actions. It’s not possible to condole actions. Actions don’t have feelings.
And my gf/sister/mom isn’t stupid enough to physically assault a police officer over a jaywalking ticket. And if they were, HELL YES I would still say the cop was right to do it. Hopefully it’ll teach them a lesson so they don’t act stupid and get SHOT IN THE FACE next time. Seriously, why the fuck does this chick have to touch him? What gives her the right to do that? You don’t like being touched in an aggressive way, don’t do it to others, especially if it’s a fucking cop, who can legally tazer/pepper spray/punch you in the face.
^_-;
before i assume, are you talking about the guy in the black sweater and blue jeans?
if you are, thats a camera phone

Black dude in the hat at 1:47, my bad on the time.
Pretty sure they were all camera phones. If dude had a gun in his hand, I think the cop woulda left her alone and try to draw his own weapon.
^_-;
i rewatched. i see what your talking about, but i don’t think it was a gun. looked like something in a black plastic bag wrapped up really tight. if it were a real gun, i’m pretty sure at least ONE person would’ve noticed despite the incident and would have said something.
Maybe, maybe he didn’t see it, I dunno. That’s what it looks like to me. lol
Dont bother with these idiots, these are the same people who think boys throwing pebbles at border patrol = bullet in the head…This is strictly an unexperience cop not knowing how to handle the situation. He let the shit get out of hand & allowed the situation to escalate. Then he reacts by punching a teenager which could have escalated it further.
This post really, all in all, has nothing to do with anything? Are you retarded? What does our cops not having guns have anything to do with a cop hitting a woman? Nothing. Unless you’re trying to imply carrying a gun makes them a better police officer or something? In which case I’ll give you a ‘lol’ and you can fucking keep them. What does education have to do with this? Apart from the fact the guy clearly lacks an education. Nothing. Oh and you do need an education to become a police officer over here. There was no ganging up… shit you’re making out like she was right hooking him to the jaw. Grow up, she just fucking pushed him. Like I said, something needed doing for her actions but blatantly not punching her. Are you really that much of a dribbling mess?
I can’t think of how he could have handled the situation any better. It’s a single cop, literally surrounded by people, trying to subdue a girl who’s resisting arrest by wriggling, kicking, clawing, what have you. Another person from said surrounding crowd comes up and starts grabbing and hitting him. He’s already got his hands full (literally) with the first girl, so what else was he supposed to do? There’s a chance the second girl could have pulled a knife or other weapon in which case this backup-less cop would have been in a hospital or dead. If he tried to start subduing the second girl, the first could run off or, worse, attack him again.
Point being, while unorthodox, unless you’re brawling with a pro boxer a punch to the face is a damn near surefire way to subdue someone quickly. Also, not sure what the laws are like there but here in Wisconsin we operate under an “equal force” law - that is, if someone attacks you, you have the right to defend yourself with equal force and it is not considered assault. If someone throws a punch, you have the right to punch back. If someone throws a punch and you pull a gun, you’re going too far. If under a similar law, this officer was simply defending himself. Of course, I don’t know if this would apply the same way to a cop, but you kind of get the picture.
This.
Im always surprised at how much smack talk women do to each other. I realize, for them fighting isnt even a thought sometimes, thats why they seem so naive when it comes to people they should physically respect. As guys when we beef with each other its either, a) no fight or b) escalate to a fight. The thought of physical confrontation is there subconsciously with guys, with women not so much.
That’s interesting and a fair law to work off… but last I checked a push is nothing like a punch. He had a good swing at her aswell. He could of just pushed her back or alternatively, restrained her. Also, everyone seems to make out like just because a crowd is watching (which you would do… it’s not something you see everyday) does not mean they’re all retards and are going to try and kill an officer. Presumption/assumption is not a good thing. I still stand by the fact he overreacted. Next month he’ll be breaking up a fight and accidentilly get punched and then shoot the guy. I guess that’s fine aswell lol.
Have you guys showed this to a woman and gotten her opinion on it?
I showed this to the wife last night. It was very interesting. How about this:
My wife told me the girl was completely in the wrong for approaching the officer and hitting him to defend her friend. She also thinks a punch may not have been warranted as she was just shoving the officer. When I asked why she thought the girl being punched was wrong, she did state something kind of obvious that no one here has mentioned yet. That being, if you look at the video, the officer clearly grabs the girl’s arm and pulls her into him as he punches her in the face. Wouldn’t it be a different situation if it was clearly self defense (the girl swinging on him and him back peddling)?
When you take that into consideration, my wife said it looked as if more than anything the officer was clearly frustrated with two angry black women who he clearly couldn’t contain and seemed to be more mouthy than anything. The funny thing is, my wife then said he could have used another tactic to bring the situation under control. Get this--------- she said if he had tased the girl, it would have looked better than punching the girl.
I don’t quite get that one. But I thought it was interesting nonetheless.
A shove or hitting is technically “equal force” - it equates to the “level” of physicality you take with a person. If someone who’s drunk and throwing fists tries to hit a blackbelt and gets laid out in two hits, that’s still technically equal force as neither used weapons (unless said kung-fu master has to register his hands as weapons). And as I said, a punch is a surefire way to end a confrontation quickly. His options were limited and I’m sure he was panicking. One thing many people forget is that police officers are humans, too. They’ve got training and a fancy badge and gun, but when shit gets real they can make the same mistakes we can.
But how could he have known they wouldn’t be hostile? From the 30 seconds of footage we have to work with, how could WE know? They were yelling stuff, likely stuff like, “Leave her alone!” or “Awesome!”, but a commotion and a crowd is never a good thing when you’re panicking. I’m sure his mindset was, he called in backup, the bitch got mouthy with him / tried to just walk away, and he attempted to place her under custody. She started flailing, and he had to try to subdue her as best an officer can. Another person from the crowd comes up and starts shoving you while you’re wrestling around with the first person. What could he have done differently? A person only has so many arms with which to subdue assailants.
My pop is a retired police officer / detective, I think I’ll give him a jingle a bit later and see if he’s seen this story and / or get his opinions on the matter.
I can be, yes.
Simple fact: the officer was in the midst of restraining an already physically-resistant offender, when he was set upon by another. The issue is not about the fact that she pushed him. It’s about the fact the stupid cunt didn’t back the hell off the FIRST time he pushed her away. If he had just taken a swing when she simply grabbed his arm at the start of the incident, then that would a different matter, one where the officer would clearly have shown use of excessive force. The second she decided to come back for more is a fairly clear indicator that she wanted to start something. How is this not getting through your skull? It makes absolutely no sense for you to suggest that the officer simply leave the first offender halfly apprehended in order to go about securing the second. Ultimately, a single punch in the mouth (with no followup, and which barely even connected by the looks of it) is more than appropriate force.
You start shoving someone, and you get a fist in your face. It really, really is that fucking simple.
I have said that if someone turned around and boxed my Grandma I would do nothing for the simple fact that she has a habit of bad mouthing people when they’re in ear shot without a care in the world. If my sister or mum was acting a fool towards a police officer and he turned around and hit her, well with regards to my sister I’d just laugh because she’s young, with my mum I guess I’d be be more concerned but I wouldn’t exactly hold it against the officer.
When upholding the law, Gender should not be an issue. As I’ve said before I feel he may have overreacted, actually a better way of phrasing it would be to say he acted incorrectly. He should have taken out his tazer and dropped her to the ground with it. Assaulting a police officer is unacceptable and they shouldn’t have to go out of the way to bring in individual in under terms that are favourable to them.
