Her behavior was disrespectful and belligerent, but did it justify that kind of reaction?

Would be interesting to learn if these events result in her getting control of her mouth.
Not commenting on the use of force....just noting it looks like they are actually in the jailmm..maybe the nurse/infirmary area?
Bootlickers showing up to claim she was not compliant and brought it on herself in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...
Don't know the circumstaces but this was totally uncalled for, violent assault of a handcuffed woman.
Any response to an attack must be proportional to the attack. If the girl was not handcuffed, overwhelming force might be justified. But the girl was handcuffed. Her threat to the cop was minimal, and so required a measured response from the cop. And that's not what happened here.
Oh, and one more thing. It is immaterial whether or not the girl was mouthing off.
She got what she asked for. I would have given her a left jab to the nose and bounced her head off the wall. Then let her fall on the floor.
I’d like to be on the jury that gives this young woman a big chunk of Colo Springs city budget. And gives the cop a year in the pokey.
I own a home in Colorado Springs, and will be paying for this mess along with everyone else through taxes.
The police officer deserves to be fired.
She should have an assault charge, but whether she gets it or not, is about to become a very rich woman.
Wanted to add that a police officer was arrested tonight in Colorado Springs. One of the charges if false reporting.
