Seattle officer punches black girl

[blev]

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

was hardly a "brawl". there was 1 clean punch when this woman got out of line. in fact, i think there's a conspiracy to cover up what actually happened here. from the way i'm seeing it, this officer is also a pimp on the side, those 2 women obviously are his ho's. bitches got out of line and he had to put his pimp hand to work.

some of you may be saying..."he punched her, that was no pimp-slap!". well, that's a big bitch and sometimes you just gotta punch a ho. if Wayne Brady can choke a bitch, why can't Officer Smith punch his bitches? don't let me tell you all how the pimp business works though. i should leave that to the professionals like Seanr

look guys, I think the important thing to remember is that both sides are at fault here.

Nope, just the girls resisting arrest and obstructing justice.

That's what you apparently fail to see.

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.

If you hadn't noticed throughout the flow of the thread, Becky (I'll thank Day for that one) was originally making condescending commentary, and once the opposition delivered a lot of scathing responses, he began layering proper capitalization and civility onto his replies. It'd do his case well if he seemed more intellectual, after all.

Since then, he's devolved to his former and more normal posting behavior, as mostly everyone else has grown tired of responding to him, so the guise is no longer necessary.

Throughout it all, one thing he's never addressed is the sheer idiocy of pulling a gun amidst numerous angry people. Since he's decided to specify he's referring to a "weapon," not solely a gun, he's apparently distancing himself from this outrageous suggestion. Can't blame him, considering that it is -- as you stated -- a clear indicator of moronic behavior.

Anyone who really believes that pulling a gun will immediately calm the masses has either never set foot in a terrible environment or wasn't observant enough to realize what kinds of threats their surroundings housed. You never know who else is carrying a weapon of any kind. You don't know what will set them off. You don't act like you're bigger than your britches.

As I stated earlier (in far cruder terms I truly enjoyed typing), a mere punch isn't much when used against a solid human, female or no. The majority of us are not so lacking in physical fortitude as to fall or otherwise suffer greatly from getting socked. At worst, we may have a large bruise, broken skin, or even fractured bone, but we can heal from these things, and the first person to mention a disorder that can prevent such recovery can suck a fat, meaty, shit-laden cock, as I refer to "the majority" for a clear reason.

Personally, I'd rather be punched than beaten with a stick, potentially pistol whipped, tasered, or even maced. Of the mentioned methods, a blunt weapon could cause quite nasty damage, a pistol-whipping would hurt like a bastard (and be potentially more devastating), tasering has the small yet nonetheless frightening chance of causing a fatality, and fuck you, I don't want mace in my eyes.

If you're against the punching, you can whine till the cows come home, but as the video evidences, the woman easily withstood it. There was no blood dripping from her nose nor mouth, and she could still speak coherently and move capably. This was no unnecessary use of force. The punch was meant to suppress her unruly behavior, and even though it wasn't wholly successful, the officer continued to handle her as gently as he could without completely letting her go. Did he twist her arms, and risk breaking them? Did he slam her violently against his car? Did he, really, truly, at any point, show authentically unnecessary force, taking the entire situation into accord?

If you still believe so, I suggest you check out of your up in arms world of sensational reactions and return to reality.

If by both sides you mean the crazy bitches and the crazy bitches I'm sure everyone will agree.

[Meian]

I bet if he tazed her then this wouldn't have been as newsworthy...

Or if this was a guy

A single punch (that I saw little injury of) is worse than tazing it seems

I'm just as much a flaming liberal as you are man but this time that bitch had it coming. No one in their right mind goes after an officer who is in the middle of an arrest. I think the officer showed quite a bit of restraint in not performing a takedown on the older girl just to get her to submit.

This guy is standing in the middle of a crowd of mostly black people which I'd say from the looks of it he's in the Africa+ part of town. He's struggling with one girl and feels someone coming in at him and has enough time to step back and react. You could tell it was a very emotionless punch as he dots her then goes back to trying to apprehend the first girl.

And if thats not the case maybe he just thought he was daggering a chickenhead and some clown was trying to jump in and he manned up like a fuckin' boss.

This. Isn't like one of the first things a cop is trained to use on someone resisting arrest pepper spray? The girls could have got a lot worse.

[tyven]

i think the both sides thing was more of a jab at plow stemming from israel vs terrorists thread. beckwin does not find the women to be in the wrong at all.

[Day]

i like the dissecting of lyrics though, that's cool, is there some website where that's all they do or something?

I'm sorry I do have to agree with Beckwin here. The cop should have kept his cool and took better control of the situation when restraining the girls. The punch was a shotgun move which did allow temporary control to be restored but in the long-term caused the situation to get worse and not better.

The girls were stupidly resisting arrest and he had plenty of other ways of restraining them (like the defense training they are taught, he looked like he wasn't even trying to restrain them).

Escalating directly to assault instead of drawing a tazer and issuing warnings was probably the worst thing he could have done, even if she deserved it.

[Day]

And that's what happens when you agree with troll posts.

[Darkslitter]

Let's play a game. It's called what do you want to happen to you

Spoiler: show

or what response for resisting arrest

1. a punch in the face
2. tazered
3. pepper sprayed
4. physically taken down

[Day]

4,1,2=3

[Darkslitter]

meh I'll agree with that, if you get taken down you might not land on your face.

[Xzerios]

Hey


Hey Cause I can.

The cop was right, women were wrong.
Take it to courFUCKTHISSHITRESISTARRESTYO!'

Except in the case of #4, the cop physically taking the rowdy bitch down puts him in a very vulnerable position, which would not be wise for him to do.

[Day]

I think his post was more directed at the people saying he should have tazed/pepper spray but I could be wrong.

[Xiona]

what seems to be the debate here? as far as i can tell from that video she was clearly NOT in the kitchen.

[AidenCarby]

Throwing rocks at a cop from a far is pretty much asking to get Hell Fire missle'd.

Shouldn't be throwin' rocks in a warzone.
