She was clearly resisting.

[–]DCMFDOOM 8 points9 points ago

There is an online poll. 49% feel that force was justified!
The cop was close enough to grab her, I don't think she had to be knocked down like that. Her head hit the wall, and the ground pretty hard.

[–]SecretSnack 1 point2 points ago

Hey, I don't disagree that the cop went overboard, but if you read the background story, it will shed some light on why people voted that way. She had assaulted several people that day, is build like a linebacker, and needed to be subdued immediately.

[–]Notemy 8 points9 points ago

That 49% consists of 99% trolls and 1% real carrot juice.

[–]Ipconfig_release 2 points3 points ago

I think the last time this was analyzed it was concluded that he was going to tackle her and partially tripped which ended up with said video that you see now and the outrage of everyone.

[–]CptLande 1 point2 points ago

Last time I saw this gif everyone said that it was justified/she had it coming etc. Weird to see how things change.

[–]rpesta 1 point2 points ago

This was in Phoenix. She got in a fight with her mom I believe and she was leaving the scene when the cop pushed her into the wall. He was suspended.

[–]SilentExchange 1 point2 points ago

Looks like he tripped to me.

[–]uchiha2 0 points1 point ago

I saw that too, I don't think he necessarily tripped but I think he may have been gaining momentum with the thought that she would run (its harder to run fast stop then run fast again, might as well keep running) I believe he was trying his best to stop but still it looks like he pushed her as well. I don't really know though.

Psych! I watched the clip, The cop obviously used excessive force...

[–]harky 1 point2 points ago

To be fair, he did trip (after he shoved her so hard that he had trouble keeping his balance).

[–]uchiha2 1 point2 points ago

have you ever run after someone full force and hit them? The sudden loss of momentum throws your balance off. Regardless, this guy deserved to be under investigation, if not have his badge for this.

[–]Zerkyl 3 points4 points ago

Yesss, I have seen this video in somewhere while watching police brutality videos. I don't know how I got there but I did. She was drunk, skipped school, and beat up her mom. There are always 2 sides to stories.

Edit: God people, I'm not saying what she did deserved it only the fact that it's not just a police officer rtandomly smashing her head against a wall, there was a reason to do it. But yes, of course, that wasn't the right thing to do obviously.

(she wasn't resisting, armed or running away).

Not that it changes much, but she clearly is deliberately striding away in the gif.

[–]SvenHudson 1 point2 points ago

Walking. Not running. You can stop somebody from walking without tackling them.

[–]N0v1K -3 points-2 points ago

yep he should have hit her harder /s

edit: her head didn't hit the wall hard enough! sarcasm....

[–]Occamslaser -2 points-1 points ago

OK, so she deserved to be knocked into a wall because of any of those things?

[–]Cheezy_Blazterz 3 points4 points ago

Sorry, but nothing short of brandishing a deadly weapon would ever justify this sort of aggression from law enforcement. Obviously nobody watching this 3 seconds of video knows the whole story, but I just can't imagine a realistic scenario that would warrant that cop's violence against her.

It's all part of the way the police work. They use fear and intimidation to exceed the limits of power the law places on them.

[–]norwegiangeek 1 point2 points ago

Yup, all of them do this. I can't walk down the street without seeing a cop run up and slam a person to the ground in an attempt to cause bodily harm.

There's no possible way that there exists an incredibly small minority of police officers who are are truly bad people and shouldn't be in a position of authority in the first place and that if found to behave as this video 3 second video suggests should be immediately removed from that job.

an ex-girlfriend?

Tag! You're it!

[–]SparDanterGilio -1 points0 points ago

I used this clip on a documentary i did about police brutality on english class

[–]Stregano -1 points0 points ago

This appears to be another case of somebody doing something to a woman/girl and people wigging out about it, but when it happens to a man, no big deal.

What about that one dude who tries to parkour over a cop car, messes up and gets tacked crazy hard to the ground (and you can see his head bouncing off of the pavement).

You do not know the context of this, but since it is a girl, you assume any violence towards a women is never justified

[–]KDIZZLL 0 points1 point ago

Head injuries are lethal and she got it twice, surprised her brain didn't swell out of her skull and die, but I guess we don't need a judge or court to rule on this case because this cop took it upon himself to be the judge,jury and executioner... inb4 legal this,she did that blah blah.

[–]otterific -2 points-1 points ago

It does sort of look like she's reaching for a gun in her bra or something idk

[–]Hammer38 1 point2 points ago

Not, it doesn't.

[–]Gnodabisme -3 points-2 points ago

I think, the officer told her to stop, she kept walking maybe she even said something along the lines of "SFTU cop!" he then taught her not to be a bich, Judge Dredd Style, all cops should follow Judge Dredds laws. "in my opinion, just saying"

[–]CheeseburgerLocker -5 points-4 points ago

Uuuuuuuugggghhhhhh, not this one again. He told her countless times to stop, and she didn't. If this would have been a black dude or some drunk asshole getting knocked down all of you would be saying it was justified. This GIF conveniently shows the knock-down but not what caused it.

[–]uchiha2 0 points1 point ago

He did not, watch the video of the whole altercation, He had been out of his car for maybe 10 seconds before he started running, and it was a total of maybe 12 (estimates from watching it on mobile youtube) before he hit her. You're wrong. She was drunk and she was trying to get away, but she was not running or necessarily resisting arrest. He is a 6' some odd man who has been on the force for 6 and a half years. He knows how to handle a drunk 15 year old, That does not include slamming her head against a brick wall. please read you're stories before posting.

[–]someonethatisme 0 points1 point ago

No one should ever be handled that way even if you think black people should be. Regardless of the context there are a hundred different ways that this situation could have been handled less violently.

[–]Ghostfnfa -3 points-2 points ago

I hope that fucking pig gets fired. They think they rule the world and can do whatever they want to us. Fucking pig. Dont they have something better to do like catch rapist and murderers?
