A Cape Girardeau police officer got more than he bargained for when he answered a call about shots fired.
What he found when he arrived was a large street fight.
As you can see, when he went to arrest one suspect a woman approaches the officer.
He pushed her away and when she came back again swinging, the officer punched her.
The Cape Girardeau Police Chief stands by what the officer did saying there's always a fear that a person will go for the officer's weapon.
"Of course the major fear is that person may try to go for the weapon or the taser or one of the other weapons that the officer is carrying so you are always trained to keep anyone as far away from you as possible," says Chief Carl Kinnison.
Kinnison says this type of incident between officers and resident happens about six times a year, but is rarely caught on camera.
This is what happens when you kick God out of schools, the State replaces fatherhood, and the entitlement "Gimme mo" syndrome sinks in.
Also: Kudos to those citizens who tried to help the officers!
Obama voters just being Obama voters. Frankly they are damned lucky. The officer might have shot them and it would have been quite justified.
BAM!!!!! Right in that big, loud mouth!!!!
Missouri?
Nice neighborhood
He gave her the old “Alice Cramden”
He had one he was trying to take into custody, and was being hampered in that job by another - I think that would justify a really good shot of OC/10%. It doesn't always work on the big ones that are doped up (or sometimes even the little ones that are doped up) but it sure will "cut the switch off" on some of the ones like this.
IMO: The amount of pepper spray a perpetrator receives, and the amount of time it takes to clear (with water) the perpetrator's eyes is directly proportional to the lengths they went to in order to be an @$$hole...

Wish he had broken her skull...
Which video did you watch? All I saw was people screaming, punches being thrown, the cops backing up etc....Then the video ended. lol...
She’s lucky that’s all she got.
bump
Gotta be rough being a cop there, I bet his fist got all greazzy
I was on a ride along with an Little Rock cop. We got into a situation similar to this and a female balled her fist up and raised it to strike. The cop said, "Mam, if you make a fist like a man, I'll beat you like a man"....needless to say, it was all for show with the other idiots in the crowd.
Rush’s home town
One doesn't think of places like Cape Girardeau as violent ghettos.
Isn't that were Rush was from?
Police must secure the willing co-operation of the public in voluntary observance of the law to be able to secure and maintain the respect of the public.Police, at all times, should maintain a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and the public are the police; the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence." - Sir Robert Peel
Of which you will find many on the same par in California.
lol...Seems the truth hit a nerve here.
Fact is, crime in mid-west cities are substantially higher than California cities. I know it’s tough to deal with the truth, but give it a shot.

Theses people are infesting communities across America. Thanks to Section 8 housing. Normal, hardworking people can only flee so far...
