Jaywalking isn’t a bullshit crime. Although inconvenient… that rule needs to exist. It’s not just about people walking across the street, its about accidents. Oncoming traffic already has plenty of things to worry about and shouldn’t need to worry about some idiot who assumes that a car coming at 40-50 mph is going to magically stop for them every single time and just walks out regardless of really looking to see if they have enough time to cross. Having set crossing areas helps avoid so many unneccesary deaths/accidents/damage.
Yea, because jaywalking laws really keep people from crossing the street whenever they feel like. No one, EVER follows retarded ass jaywalking laws for two reasons, either they don’t know such a stupid law exists or because they are responsible adults that have the magical ability to look both directions before moving. Shit is just there for collecting revenue. God knows if there weren’t jaywalking laws god damn planes would be falling from the skies, shit would be blowing up everywhere and other mass chaos would ensue. You must think seatbelt laws are meant to help the citizens too.
Look at the first 10 sec, cop had his hand on her back like she trying to undo her bra…
… you do realize the confrontation was much longer than the 1 to 2 minute video we saw right? pretty sure he didn’t just go “hey, you were jaywalking, i’m gonna arrest you!”
oh and i looked it up, these 2 dumb bitches got into all this trouble because they didn’t want a $42 jaywalking citation… stupid is as stupid does i guess.
Ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law. People don’t follow jaywalking laws because for the most part they are not enforced. In areas where Jaywalking becomes a problem it makes sense to make a greater effort in enforcing the laws so people are deterred from doing it.
I find it ludicrous that people see it as such a trivial action as it is not only a nuisance, it can cause accidents.
man is jaywalking a huge problem in the states?
i have NEVER honestly actually heard of somebody in my city getting in shit for jaywalking (maybe yelled at if a cop is near).
I heard in Toronto they fucking lurk near Union Station to ticket stray Hamiltonians trying to jaywalk across the streets there.
All you mofo’s jaywalk, everyone fucking jaywalks…
I agree. Eh maybe some of these posters live in areas where its not an issue at all, so they find it hard to understand.
Hell, in the area I’ve lived in for the past 5 years, the only people I see walking outside anywhere near the streets are those doing it for exercise(obviously few lol). Even then they have the sense to only cross the road once the street is plenty clear enough.
Occasionally i’ll see one of those morons who just blindly walks out in the middle of the road assuming cars will stop by default, but not often. Now those are the kinda dumbasses that should be ticketed!
Think about it the other way. This cop is under review and could potentially ruin his career over a 42 dollar jaywalking ticket.
No.
Random thought. Why can’t I hit any girl in the face that puts her hands on me. That’s an awesome job perk.
It has been ever since Leno named a skit off of it.
You’re right. He could have shot her ass and still only got leave with pay (god damn I’m in the wrong career).
Or get a vagina and you can break the law.
I really dont get why you idiots are defending the cop…This pig cant even control 2 girls, shit i dont even know or want to know how he would be when real shit goes down. Do you really want this donut eating mofo coming to rescue your ass?
Because he’s less in the wrong than the girls?
What would the consequences have been if he had just walked away and let them go? Probably better than getting socked in the face.
Cops punishment should be having to explain his actions to his wife and kids on national television. :tup:
And oh, I forgot: black women are annoying.
In the cop’s defense, that fat one was ugly. Also she was bound to get hit by her future spouse or employer anyway. It’s good for her to get used to it now. That cop was mad pimp though. He probably got the one in the black shirt to give him a blow job in the car later even though she was “resisting” so much at first. The entire incident and “arrest” was just a front because the cop doesn’t want his friends to know that he’s dating such a nice young piece of ass and of course the black chick doesn’t want her friends to know that she’s been getting it on with whitey for weeks now. It’s just too lovers trying to get it on without their friends judging them. If you ever read Romeo and Juliet you can understand how they feel.
i dont like cops. My town they are dirty, disrespectful, lowlife, criminals and they get people killed. I have had friends straight mutilated by them for no reason. Even my parents (stsraight as an arrow) are scared of them.
That said, this chick shouldve been slammed through the mcadam.
Aggressive force was necessary in this situation.
…aside from the accountability lesson many females desperately need
y
yeah, cuz his wife and kids are probably so upset that he defended himself rather than just die or allow to bitches to assault him
A few things that we need to keep in mind here:
First off, people who think that the cop was overreacting because he couldn’t keep two dainty teen girls under control clearly have never seen/been on the receiving end of a girl who’s gone batshit insane. I once saw a pretty dainty girl get upset AND BREAK DOWN A FRIGGIN’ DOOR. When a person goes nuts, the amount of random thrashing, kicking, biting, clawing, and general raw strength can be pretty intimidating–especially when it’s a girl, because you typically don’t expect women to get that physical.
The cop, simply put, was at a numerical disadvantage. There were 4 arms and legs involved against a single cop–that’s a lot of potential kicking and clawing. The girl who shoved the cop made it VERY clear that she 1) did not respect his authority, and 2) was perfectly willing to go the extra mile to get the cop off her friend’s back. If those 2 conditions aren’t enough to justify decisive action on the part of the cop, I don’t know what does.
Secondly–and this is the most important part–SHE SHOVED A COP. You never, never, NEVER lay your hands on a cop. It’s just common sense. Everyone knows that inappropriate and/or violent contact with an officer can result in a charge of assaulting an officer, which is a felony IIRC. I can understand if she’s upset about a jaywalking ticket, and she’s perfectly within her rights to voice her concerns at court, or at the officer. But once you lay your hands on a cop, all bets are off. Everyone knows this. This is why the crowd of black men in the background stayed clear of the situation, even though they were verbally expressing their disapproval.
For what it’s worth, I think both sides were in the wrong. The 2 girls were clearly idiots for picking a fight with an officer. The cop was wrong because he chose to throw a punch out of frustration, rather than out of following standard procedure–it’s just that (luckily for him) the punch was probably the most effective, least damaging response that he could have taken in that moment. But when you compare the mistakes each party made, the girls’ error is quite a bit more egregious that the cop’s.
The cop just looks bad because 1) he’s punching a girl, 2) it happened to be black girl, and 3) it looks like he did it out of pure frustration. The cop doesn’t deserve half of the flak that he’s getting.
Yes he does deserve flak! He’s a train professional & should be professional at all times. I used to work as a caregiver taking care of mental patients & retards. I would get attack all the time by numerous clients male/female w/ knives/chairs/frying pans,feces, etc…I never once strike them, let alone punch in the face.
Just like in customer service, people will be assholes its part of the job but you can’t just scream profanity back to them in equal force or more, let alone a punch to the face.
These two women were stopped for jaywalking! Jaywalking! That’s like being pulled over for going 1-5 miles over the speed limit…The cop was never in any danger. He punched w/ frustration & anger. Remember the pink bitch that he feared for his life? If he he felt a punch was necessary, why did he not go after her after the punch? Isn’t she the most immediate threat? Shouldn’t she been handcuff right there & now?
You guys got to remember, he knew he was being videotaped too, i cant imagine what bullshit this guy would do if there was no one around. Im not saying all cops are like this but damn aren’t most cops the fattest & weak ass bitch you ever seen in your life. Dont get me started on women Poh-lice…Why are there even female police officers is beyond me. They should have like a strength, endurance, & mental test before being a police officer.
