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

I'm sure others have noticed, that we end up going to the UK papers for news about this country. The corrupt, propaganda, drive-by, state-run misnamed Mainstream news media is already almost irrelevant. It's amazing the death wish of so-called journalists and "news" organizations.
They're in the information business and they're poisoning their own wells.

One of the reasons we have ‘low information’ people in this country...

I guess I am the opposite. I like to give authority figures the benefit of doubt. Wouldn’t want to be them; appreciate them.

We will all laugh when it’s your turn, boy.

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

To: Boogieman
However, if an officer approaches the traffic stop in a confrontational way, hands on weapon, and barking orders, the citizen might fail to comply with something quick enough, or to the satisfaction of the officer. Then, they can claim resisting arrest or some such charge, and have much more leeway to deal with their suspect. Look at segment 0:18 thru 0:22 of the video. The cop didn't just have "hand on weapon". His pistol was DRAWN and POINTING at the woman. I can understand her not complying with his order to turn around -- most women would be frozen with fear if a burly cop was aiming a gun at them.

A lot of people on FR dont like authority figures. We don't like violent thugs, and we don't care what gang colors they wear.

99% of the cops make the other 1% look bad.

I guess I am the opposite. I like to give authority figures the benefit of doubt. Wouldnt want to be them; appreciate them.Bloomberg, Holder and other gun-grabbers are most grateful.

It took six cops to attack one woman.
Feeling safer? Yes. Yes I am.

Her bewilderment was clear on the video. Those LEOs were looking for an excuse to assault a citizen. A pity they aren’t paying out of their own paychecks.

Indeed. Now is the time for the peace officers to come forward to condemn this.

The p.o.s. had a suspended license and shouldn’t have even been driving in the first place. It’s not that easy to get a suspended license - - you usually have to be reckless multiple times and/or a drunk. That said, the cops (four of them were needed??) looked like sadistic animals and bullies. The whole event was a collision of worthless morons. No sympathy for any of them.
To: Lancey Howard
The charge of a suspended license was dropped. The victim of police assault should have been ticketed and fined for texting and weaving through traffic.
Not assaulted by a few boys (Hernandez and Martinez) who apparently get off on slamming women face-first into the asphalt.

Tax payer shouldn't have to pay for this. The cops should. Or at lease reduce the budget of the Police department by the amout awarded ... let these idiots feel some peer pressure
