Finally got to see the video - that second ‘slamming’ in particular was uncalled for. The officer’s intent from the start was to slam her to the ground. The way he stepped his left foot over to gain leverage before the slam makes it obvious. She was NOT doing anything that warranted such action.
If the police want to continue to have public support, they need to police themselves. People like these guys need to be shown the door, and perhaps serve a little time behind bars as well.
Here in NYC they don’t police one another. They defend one another. The Blue Wall.
“If the police want to continue to have public support, they need to police themselves.”
For many, that ship has sailed and is over the horizon.
