For the person who said wait and call back up - are you fucking kidding me?  You think the cop expected this to happen?  He said stop to someone jaywalking.  Girl didn't stop.  He walks up to her, and next thing you know, BAM resisting arrest, getting pushed/attacked by TWO people.  You think he had time to call for back up?

here's a situation for you:

If MORE than ONE person (man or woman) is BLATENTLY disobeying the law, showing no signs of cooperation after you told them to stop, how are you (one person) going to gain control of these two (possibly more) disorderly people? YOU CANT

he obviously did, both girls are being charged, both were obviously
arrested, seems he had the situation well under control without the use
of taser or pistol

so you're saying he should have tasered the girls instead of the punch
that put the one girl out of the fight so he could regain control of the
other one

dude i cant believe i'm replying to this again...




if he had control AT ALL, he would have detained both of the girls with ease.

did you see the black kid jump in and help the cop?

yea that's cause the cop did NOT have control of the situation...



(you'll probably have it out for me after that facepalm, sorry, but i had to, he really had NO control that whole time.)

there was NO control in that situation, seriously? if he would have detained the first girl properly and with control, she would have been in handcuffs before the other girl even tried to attack him.

it took him almost 3 minutes to even get that first girl in the car.

there's NO control there

and before approaching the disorderly group of people, YOU CALL FOR BACKUP. that's maintaining control.

they teach you EARLY in the academy that you need to recognize situations BEFORE they happen, so that you don't put yourself, or someone else, in a harmful situation.

problem fucking solved, that bitch in the pink would NOT have gotten brave. she felt powerful with 30 of her friends from school around her, and one cop.

The cop, however, made the decision to approach the group by which he was outnumbered. Because of this mistake, he was forced to gain control of the situation, alone. the punch worked in the end. but that was a pitiful fight for control of the situation, the WHOLE time.

he didnt have to be involved in that altercation. he could have saved himself and that girl a lot of hassle. 

I never said he should have tasered them, man. i know you can read, don't be insulting. i was saying he should have called for backup before approaching them. different situation.




The cop made a bad decision

He had to gain control of the situation after his mistake

punching was the quick decision he made

better than tasing yes

but he still needed help from that black kid in the crowd

so obviously, it wasnt the best decision, or even the right one.

but he did it, and that video will only help the cops case in court.

so i guess he's in the right....

He was getting out of the car to give a ticket for jaywalking.  What person in their right mind gets violent for something like that?  How could he have expected them to resist, and call for backup?  He probably figured it would be routine until the fight broke out.  At which point, the backup wouldn't have made it in time anyway.

I would have tazed them both.
