You are right he did first grab her to keep her out of traffic and he was responsible to do so. He then took her down but it looks like she resisted his efforts to put cuffs on her. AT that time he initiated the use of force to force her to let him cuff her....
Restraining her from walking out into traffic was right.
Taking her down and cuffing her when she tried to pull away from him was right. She was a danger to herself and to others who were driving on that side of the freeway.
I also question the amount of force he used to subdue her and make her comply with putting cuffs on her. It appears to be excessive.
If she was determined to run in to traffic on the 10 freeway the cop is fully justified in doing whatever it takes.
He may have prevented not just her death, but the deaths of many others and if not death, a life of having killed someone with your car.
Knee jerk hatred of cops is a leftist trait.
Just say no.
“I also question the amount of force he used to subdue her and make her comply with putting cuffs on her. It appears to be excessive.”
Perhaps. None of us can say at this point.
But to prevent someone from running on to the 10 freeway in fact merits serious force, including up to deadly force.
Such an act could cause multiple deaths in addition to her own.
It is like stopping someone trying to commit mass murder.
