No need to watch the video again. I wasn’t speaking to the appropriateness of the arrest, but to the initial appropriateness of requesting that she move away from where the police action occurred. It should also be noted that this woman argued with the officer, which is a no-win situation regardless of the appropriateness of the officer’s request/demand. I would further like to know what the woman’s comments to the officer were that is not in the video. We, who are commenting based on incomplete information, are at a disadvantage in making a determination of the appropriatness of the officer’s actions. Could there have been comments made by this woman prior to the video being started that could provide an explaination for his actions/reactions toward her? We don’t know, and won’t know. Perhaps there is justification for his comment of not feeling safe with her, and her entourage, behind him. Not all the details are available. I’ll reserve judgement based on the incompleteness of the evidence, thank you.
Umm, the DA dropped all charges against the woman, said there was absolutely no grounds for her arrest... read the whole story.
