Pretty tough cop

she spit on the officer so the arrest should be justified. excessive force was not necessary but she's still a bitch
 
Wow. I need to become a cop in America. I can pretty much get away with anything and the legal system will back me up.

:thumbsup:

Not seeing a problem. Looks like "ma'am, please put your hands behind your back" wasn't going to work. Spitting on law enforcement is a big no no, felony here.
 
If you spit on a cop, you should expect bad things to come your way. That's all I'm saying...

And did he forget choke holds are against policy? He might get a one point deduction for using that move.
 
That site was jacked up for me. I had to keep moving my mouse to keep the video running.

Dunno... from the video it looked like he was somewhat patient but the end looked uncalled for. Audio would help (maybe my video was that jacked up?).
 
Isn't coming coming at that woman with his arms folded and bumping into her a form of assault meant to intimidate her? I'm sure if I made that move twice like he did to a cop it would termed an assault. I'd say the cop escalated the situation when it seemed to only be verbal in nature.

I don't know whether or not that would be charged as assault, although I agree that it was likely an attempt to intimidate and/or a sign of the officer losing his temper; it definitely didn't do anything to de-escalate the situation, that's for sure.

The woman looks like she deserved to be arrested, but his initial reaction (grabbing her air and using a choke hold) appeared excessive.

Guys defending the man are clearly stupid.

A. In the first moments of this video, the very much larger man with closed fists in an obvious fighting posture comes and get's right in the face of the woman. Regardless of what was SAID, this is assult. Everything after tha moment for the woman is self defense including spitting. The cop broke the law plain and simple. And what a douchebag!

I wouldn't ever consider spitting to be self-defense. His attempt to intimidate her may have been his way of trying to de-escalate the situation, although yes, it was definitely a poor choice.

In the end, I'd say he let his temper get the best of him, which, if you're going to go out in public in uniform, you simply can't do.

Closed fists are considered assault if you're large? :confused;

That's called officer presence. #1 in the force continuum. A lot of times that is enough to descelate the situation. Her decision to spit on him moved straight from there to hard hands, skipping soft hand techniques.

He's not an officer of the law there, and when you're not, it's called assault.
