A video uploaded by a Phoebe Landolt shows a riot cop assaulting a girl standing on the street. Police had been called in to quell a student riot in Arizona after the Wildcats lost their game to Wisconsin.
The girl in the video did not appear to be rioting or causing a scene, but the officer can be clearly viewed charging her and knocking her over for apparently no reason.
This might explain it:

Expect MORE of this, not less, in ObamaWorld. The regime has spent lots of resources on ammunition procurement. Not much left over for training or educating Chicago-style thugs.
I want to believe their are two sides to most stories. I’ll be curious what this one is. Certainly, this girl might be the female criminal equivalent to Rodney King, but I’m doubtin’ it for now.

The good ill mannered types know when to stop their aggression so the can make some specious claim for the imprimatur of their action.
He broke the line and engage someone, at a bit of a gallup and clocked her upside the head, with no regard for his actions or consequences of her landing...
Dain Bwamage can be a lifelong disbrilty...
I didn’t even think about that.
Cept he is a dog.
He could just as easily shoot himself...which,I hope, is the outcome...
Hence the 2nd Amendment.
“Watched several times. As someone that made a living viewing video surveillance footage I am not sure what this video shows.”
Your objectivity is welcome, but not appreciated, I’m sure, by the lynch mob agit-proppers who pretend to conservative.
Remember. ‘Protect and Serve’ is just a motto holding NO legal standing. Police are armed for THEIR protection, not yours. If this was an honest ‘mistake’ then it calls for an honest compensation. It appears to be a violent over-reaction to a particular situation not calling for such. Having worked with peace officers for over 20 years, I no longer give them the benefit of doubt........
“Oh, don’t go all Zimmerman on us now....”
First thing that came to mind was...my daughter. That kid was doing nothing wrong...just walking. And the sorry azz piece of crap cop blindsided her with a potentially life-ending blow. If that had been my daughter... Sorry, won’t say it here, but you know what I mean.
There’s a cop that needs a serious beat down.
to me, the fact that she was not arrested and the cop simply walks away says she did nothing wrong...
The Thin Blue line was a necessary thing to have. Those students who caused the riots were A-HOLES and its my belief that they weren't really students...just agitators who did what THEY did because they had NO life.
I saw the SAME guy in two riots in the two different universities -- and HE sold me on the reality of "professional agitators."
===========================
When the TAC squad walked on the campus, I let them pass. There was NO reason to scream obscenities at them. Actually, the TAC squad were MOSTLY HUGE young guys. I wasn't so impressed by them. HOWEVER, the campus then started calling on REGULAR cops. The motorcycles cops came in and THEY scared the HOLY PIE outta me.
They had the jack boots, helmets and all and were ALL crabby middle aged men who reminded me of my father. I MELTED away letting THEM pass. They looked like they wouldn't put up with ANY crap from ANYONE.
ALL cops have to deal with the SCUM of the earth and my hat is off to those men who have it in them to be cops, regular beat, traffic, riot or detectives. Better them than me.
===========================
There are also folks who loathe the cops and cite all the examples of how HORRIBLE they are. But, I've traveled the world, lived/worked in Mexico City for two years and in Saudi Arabia for FIVE years. If you think the cops are bad HERE...HAH, try living in THOSE countries for an example of corruption. THEY make OUR cops look like angels.
===========================
I also have to admit I DID run into one decent cop in Mexico. I cut him off leaving the freeway and SPRAYED him with the rain water. I had almost missed my off ramp and HE got cut off by me--MY bad. He chased me down and had me to my rights. He was a middle aged guy who was TICKED at my dousing and LECTURED me on what he COULD do to me.
I DIDN'T cry. I ALMOST did but held back the tears...they would have been useless anyway. Finally he say: "VAYASE!" [Get going!] I did and knew that I had indeed met one decent cop in Mexico City.
Or maybe they know nothing about video and were trying to get the distance shot.
Not justifying this, but IF they had already declared an unlawful assembly, then she probably should not have been what appears to be the skirmish line there. I had a similar experience with a college party that got out of hand, and we were told NOT to let people get behind us. That being said...we did guide/push them.out to where we wanted them to go...
Thanks for posting that video.
The anti-cop faction is the most disheartening thing I see on Free Republic.
Looked like the cops had that middle part blocked off and she tried to cross. She got shoved back.
So its ok to punish one person for a crime because of the actions of another?
It is that way in any other state? I'm in the Golden State.
