Some shines are just too stupid to understand you don't resist when there is no reason to resist.. All this over a jaywalking ticket? Cop should have beat her with a club. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_P5jOoDDbI
The girls resisted detainment, then physically assaulted the officer. Then, resisted arrest. The cop probably made it clear the girls were being issued a citation for jay-walking, which, they evidently tried to escape. Hence, his attempt to physically restrain them. That's a tough situation. The Cop had no backup. Both hands were tied up, holding one girl and fighting off the other. Surrounded by an unsympathetic crowd. The cop seemed unsure of himself. He had every right to use more severe force since the girl assaulted him. Very stupid on the part of the two black girls.
I'm torn on this. One part of me asks, what the hell ya' doing giving tickets for jaywalking, and the another part say's he should have beat the little bitch senseless. He's probably getting some grief questioning his fire power. Good clean shot and the girl was still standing. You couldn't pay me enough to be an inner city cop. A thankless, difficult, no win situation job, day in and day out. No wonder they go nuts.
