Stupid is a harsh way to put it, but the article does say she has developmental disabilities. Instead of going Rambo, the officer should have recognized what he was dealing with.
Because people wear t-shirts all the time saying that they’re developmentally disabled. She just got out of her car, at the very least, it’s detailed she had a cell phone in her hand, and I’m going to bet at least car keys as well. She’s a large woman who pulled away from the officer when she was grabbed, and it was the second officer on the scene who hit her while she was still resisting the first officer.
I’m sorry, what do you think should have been done? And will you apply the same rules if it’s a 300 pound man?
“Instead of going Rambo, the officer should have recognized what he was dealing with.”
There’s your problem! A lot of LEOs have size 44 uniforms, size 4 hats, and a burning desire to beat the $h!t out of anyone for even the flimsiest reasons. They seem to not realize that they need to be the “adult.” Oh America, how far you have fallen when you read stuff like this.
