“Am I missing something in this video?”
Yes, You’re missing the part where Officer Ratchet is doing her best silverback gorilla imitation and pushing her chest against the girl while the girl was clearly trying to retreat.
I’m not saying that what the girl initially did was right but what the officer did was wrong. There’s no justification for a cop getting someone on the ground and then beating on them as if the cop is also a rioter.
This is where I roll out my Three Rules for Everyone in Law Enforcement:
1. Uphold the Constitution
2. Obey the laws you enforce
3. Don’t be a dick
If they can’t manage these three simple rules then they need to turn in their badge and their gun.
Who died and appointed you Deputy God?
Item 3 is fatally flawed, inappropriate and rejected.
The sake of justice might be better served by declaring that members of law enforcement are not obligated to sacrifice their lives, creating innocent widows and orphans by giving the criminal the "first shot," so to speak, having clearly chosen violence as the solution to her encounter and criminal inclinations.
Thanks for the reply. But the girl did not turn and walk away quickly, correct?
