Like I said, she was lucky to only get a fist in the face for how jiggy she was getting.

I appreciate the officer's restraint from using deadly force.
Honestly, these people are lucky they weren't killed.
I agree, that women got off light. That cop could have easily put a bullet through her brains for being so insolent.
Throwing rocks at a cop from a far is pretty much asking to get Hell Fire missle'd.
Nah, that would be for the person who uploads the video of the arrest to youtube. Now that states with wiretapping laws have DAs prosecuting those people.

Beautiful
And I'm sure he would have kept his career, regardless.
Ethics (or whatever your conception of justice is) aside, our society's social structure is founded on application of force. Most people can go through life and only notice it every now and then, or like these youtube clips, but the fact remains, there is always a gun in the room.
notice how I said weapon? that covers a few options, which I hope a trained cop would be proficient enough to choose the best one for the situation. gun would be fine though, and it wouldn't get a crowd angry in a way that would have them doing anything but getting the hell back.
but maybe we should just make laws saying that cops can brawl with anyone they feel is getting a little unruly. at least we wouldn't have these sorts of arguments anymore.
i mean, there'd be enough deserving to justify it
Nah, let's just make it as easy as possible for them to pull out their guns and threaten deadly violence they have no intentions whatsoever of following through with.
I'm sure nothing bad will ever come of that approach.
Just like nothing bad ever happens with tazers.
Whats this with "we" and "allow"...
fuck you all this deluded?
Are you mentally handicapped? Or trolling? That would have been a HUGE media blitz on a cop pulling out a sidearm on an unarmed black woman for a jaywalking offense. This isn't the movies, you can't just take out your sidearm for something like that unless the woman was to brandish her own weapon first.

Officers can take you down if they feel you are being unruly. They don't have to just ask you politely to cut the shit out. No they can't crack you in the head if they ask you for I.D and you say "Fuck off", but they can drop your ass to the ground if you follow up that "Fuck off" by pushing the cop away and getting ready to throw a punch.
The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights has stated that "…in diffusing situations, apprehending alleged criminals, and protecting themselves and others, officers are legally entitled to use appropriate means, including force."Police Use of Force in America 2001, defined use of force as "The amount of effort required by police to compel compliance by an unwilling subject." The IACP also identified five components of force: physical, chemical, electronic, impact, and firearm.
