Cop punches woman in the face

Thursday, June 17, 2010

From the NY Daily News:
A teen took a fist to the face by a cop, all because he stopped her for jaywalking.

Investigators in Seattle are reviewing the incident, which was captured on video, but the president of the Seattle Police Officers Guild argues the use of force was justified.

"He did nothing wrong," Rich O'Neill said, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. "If anything, I think he maybe waited a little too long to engage in force because I think he was trying to defuse the situation."

This was justified on his part, but he should've ended the situation much sooner. He got scared of the crowd and they smelled blood.

And she was so well behaved . . .

I would definetly support the cop this time. She was attacking the cop while he was arresting another woman. If you attack a cop you have to face the consequences.

If it was in Brazil she would have got a bullet between the eyes...

And that is why sane people don't go to holiday in Brazil. :-)

They where not arrested because of jaywalking, but because they tried to walk away when he tried to reprimand them for jaywalking, and then for resisting arrest. Pretty stupid of the girls!

I support the cop on this one. The thing with American teenagers these days is they think that they're untouchable and as a result believe that they can resist authority. Those girls deserved it, not only did they resist arrest, they assaulted the cop as well.

Not to be racist in anyway, but did anyone notice that majority of the audience was black? Plus, they all had their phones and recording. If i was black, I'd be ashamed of such behavior. No wonder black people have such bad reputation, idiots like those on the video add to it.
