I hogtied a woman once when I was a cop. She was under arrest, drunk and trying to kick out my squad car window.

Not saying this was the case here, but you act like a criminal, you get treated like a criminal.

In fairness, what didn’t she understand about the warnings from the police? Was she drunk? Didn’t speak English? On drugs?

Talking on a cellphone with a suspended license.

Not sympathetic to her plight.

I appreciate your comments and your expertise. Would you do us a favor and watch the video and give us an analysis of this situation.

She was not putting up any resistence. Looked to be an office worker type, dressed properly and innocently confused by the officers directions to turn around as they approached her.

If you’re “not saying that was the case here”, why did you bother passing on the Thin Blue Line comment?
It OBVIOUSLY wasn’t the case here, yet your first instinctive
reaction is to drag in a totally irrelevant incident from your own experience.

Not saying this was the case here, but you act like a criminal, you get treated like a criminal.

Unless you're a cop. Then you get 'professional courtesy'.

These settlements should start coming out of cops instead of the taxpayer. Now these a**holes need to be criminally charged and imprisoned.

[muir_redwoods]

So these cops should be treated like criminals, following your logic.

[hinckley buzzard]

Certainly glad you "was a cop" instead of "is a cop."

A lot of people on FR don’t like authority figures.

Which the woman in the video was not doing. Watch the video.

The cop who slammed her face-first on the ground should be fired and lose his pension.
