It was uncalled for because a third party stepped in and got physical with him? It looked like force was necessary there.

Clearly this cop lost his cool and completely mishandled this. If you're going to restrain a suspect then do it, don't just uncomfortably wrestle around with him/her and cause a big scene. Take control of the situation.
Again, not punched in the face for jaywalking.

The cop is a pussy. If he can't subdue a girl, he shouldn't be a cop.

What a fucking pig.
God, you're a tool. Jaywalking is illegal and is dangerous. You don't know when they were jaywalking, you didn't see the situation. Could you imagine if you're driving and someone starts walking across. That's dangerous as shit. So the cop was ticketing someone for putting people in danger.
What a pig. :rolleyes:
I Wear Pants;391556 wrote:I love people that will defend anything a police officer does and say things like "in the heat of the moment they need to just act". This was a jaywalking stop involving some teenage girls. There was no imminent danger. Write a ticket and move on. Jaywalking isn't something that we should be arresting people for.
The issue was originally jaywalking. Then it was walking away from the cop. Then it was resisting arrest. You have to look at the big picture, not the little one.

SAFETY. Cop was doing his job. Would it have been better if he had pulled his gun on her?

Like I said, if you are a man and you slug a girl in the face, cop or not, people are going to question your actions. Welcome to life on planet earth (or western civ, maybe).
subduing her swiftly would have involved taking her to the ground. the public would just be in an uproar over that instead.

Just watched the video and I took two things from it. 1) What the hell is wrong with kids today her telling the cop get the fuck off me and resisting? and 2) The cop is a bitch and should hand in his badge if he couldn't restrain that girl she was small.

I'm trying to figure out if you're intentionally trolling, or if you're just honestly incapable of following a train of thought.
It's both. Isadore is King Troll. Has perfected it really. There is no way someone can really misunderstand that many posts and rebut arguments with nonsensical jargon like he does.

If you're jumping on SYL's lap please allow me to get a "two-fer" when I pull the switch. This thread has waaay to many ACLU wanna be's supporting all the BS which has evolved into the total disregard for authority this country is now mired in up to our balls.

You want to pull the switch on me for what reason? I never said I agree or disagreed with the cops action in this particular situation, just that you are talking out of your ass.

The girl apologized to the cop today. This is what was on a local TV station:

You can't honestly believe that tackling a girl to cuff her and and slugging a girl in the face are seen as equal.

i never said they were equal, but the outcry would be the same. they would just complain she shouldnt have been tackled because she was a woman and why couldnt the cop cuff her without tackling her etc.

No it wouldn't be.

Because then you'd have a competent police officer doing his job vs some bitch.

Instead this is a dude who can't get people to calm down enough to write them a jaywalking citation and then can't restrain a teenage girl and then when he gets nervous he just slugs a girl.

The first scenario would have very little outcry and we probably wouldn't have ever heard of it.

Who were these two "innocent young women" involved in this incident
"This was not their first run-in with the law. In November, Rosenthal was charged with second-degree robbery when she allegedly punched a 15-year-old boy in the face. Two years ago, she was charged with stealing a minivan. In 2009, Levias was charged with third-degree assault for allegedly pushing a sheriff's deputy."

Marilyn Ellen Levias was at Burien center for troubled girls. Police were called when she was being abusive to staff. When policed arrived she pushed Deputy Ami Zarelli. She was given a deferred disposition because it was a first offense.

Angel Rosenthal when she was with a gang going to a rave. She punched a 15 year old boy in the face and stole his cell phone and $20. She hit a 14 year old and stole his hat. The charges were dropped when the boy refused to testify.
She stole a car, but as with her friend got deferred disposition because of a first offense.
She doesn’t live with her parents but at the Virginia Miller House, a residential facility with behavior-modification programs for teen girls,

A pair of real charmers but of course supported by the threads cop haters

Were they convicted of those offenses? Because that says "charged". Charged does not = did it.

read above they had both been given deferred disposition for juvenile offenses
in Washington that means
"Under this sentencing option, youth who have committed a crime may be sentenced to 12-months of supervision in the community. The court order includes conditions such as paying restitution, attending school, and performing restorative community service. If the youth complies with these conditions and does not commit a new crime while under supervision, the charge is dismissed and there is no criminal history"
http://www.co.clark.wa.us/juvenile/programs/deferred.html
as always the cop haters provide excuses for these two young women

Notice been placed in juvenile facilities before there incident with the police officer

What a surprise, that girl sounds like a fine upstanding citizen. Whether the cop needed to punch her in the face or not, she had it coming and I don't feel bad for her at all.

But that officer didn't know that so his actions are still just as poor. Again, girls were wrong for being idiots but the cop showcased his incompetency.

So, it should now be commonplace to punch, kick, beat, maybe kill on the spot anyone who has committed a prior b/c that's what they deserve. Last time I checked that's not the definition of justice in the United states.

when you show a proclivity toward using illegal violence and have physically attacked police officers before and the previous steps to curb your behavior have failed, this result was richly deserved

If our bleeding heart liberal society weren't so busy trying to excuse the actions of today's little thugs and thugettes like some on this thread then maybe they wouldn't act like these two did. Maybe they wouldn't think it's ok to break the law. Maybe they listen to the officer instead of trying to get away. Maybe they listen to the officer instead of fighting him the whole video. He should have just tazed the little biatches and been done with it.
