Because people wear t-shirts all the time saying that they’re developmentally disabled. She just got out of her car, at the very least, it’s detailed she had a cell phone in her hand, and I’m going to bet at least car keys as well. She’s a large woman who pulled away from the officer when she was grabbed, and it was the second officer on the scene who hit her while she was still resisting the first officer.

I’m sorry, what do you think should have been done? And will you apply the same rules if it’s a 300 pound man?

I can sense if someone is developmentally disabled within seconds.

What should he have done? Follow his procedures for restraining arrestees, which I will bet does not involve engaging in a fistfight.

I think Officer Francis should have lightened up over the cell phone driving thingee...

I missed the part in the story where "she's a large woman".

Could you post that up for the rest of us?
