The officers acted with great patience and restraint for many minutes.
I think that once they had her in the patrol car they could have made her put her feet inside without pepper-spraying her by having an officer on the other side haul her over. But that would mean closing that door near her head which might be against department policy.
And perhaps they might have explained more clearly at the beginning: “Legally, we do not have the option to let you go. Because you are a minor, we are required to release you to your parents. Your parents, not you, must decide if you should go to the hospital.” But she was so out of control she might not have processed that. Too bad. IMO the screams were a total put on.
I have been at a number of scenes where adolescents had to be released to their parents, whether they were uninjured at the scene of an accident, or they were intoxicated but not so much as to require hospitalzation. None of them were resistant, abusive, or stupid like this.
Well, she has her ten minutes now.
The cops now have to smell the spray in their car and it’ll have to be cleaned. Bet they went home with irritated eyes. The little entitled BLM foul mouthed pot smoker should have had her backside spanked hard by her parents years before she turned out this way.
They could have tried telling her all that but I think she would not have listened. . .she would fight further if they tried to pull her into the car. Screeching spoiled drama queen.
“I’m gonna tell my daddy”
I’m surprised she even HAS a daddy or even knows who he is.
Must admit, I enjoyed seeing her get sprayed.
