unless one has access to the complete unedited video it is really hard to pass judgment.
Yes. I agree. I tried to qualify my concerns.
Much of the time I believe cops are justified. There was a case in Miami Beach a couple years ago when a perp, vandalizing private property, fled cops ordering him to stop. Cops gave chase and tased him. The individual had a reaction to the taser. Police called for an ambulance, but the subject died.
The media and family began screaming about brutality....which was, imo, RIDICULOUS.
On the other hand, earlier this year a couple of Broward county deputies face slammed a drunk but non-threatening man into the concrete....The incident was caught by a security camera that the cops didn’t know was there. And the media, except for the initial report on the incident, has been silent.
The best course, I think, is to look at each incident on a case by case basis.

There is enough evidence given here to pass judgment easily.
The woman was 61 years old, there were several cops, they could have easily restrained her if they wanted but they didn't want that they wanted to punish her for asking why they were doing what they were doing. She was leaving, she didn't attack anyone she just asked a question the cop didn't like.
She knew he didn't like it and decided to leave but the cop was having none of it. I hope the cop is soon not a cop and never trusted with a gun again.
