[quote:Anonymous Coward 16599138:MV8yMzc5Njk1XzQwNzE4NjI5XzkyNzgxQTA2] [quote:Stoned Goddess:MV8yMzc5Njk1XzQwNzE4MDM2XzFGNTE0QTY0] [quote:luridanimus:MV8yMzc5Njk1XzQwNzE0NjMyXzU2Njc0RDc3] [quote:Anonymous Coward 46877058:MV8yMzc5Njk1XzQwNzE0MzA2XzdDRUMxODQ2] [quote:luridanimus:MV8yMzc5Njk1XzQwNzEzNzY3X0M3NkYxRjMz] The video is disturbing. The officer clearly used excess force. The situation does require some analysis though. She is very likely drunk. This probably made the fall more likely to happen and the impact worse as she was less likely to put her arms up in defense. Should the officer get in trouble and the city sued, certainly. The officer should not be so demonized, however. Consider the situation and the similar situations they see regularly. If we don't extreme behavior from the police, we can't be so extreme in punishing their mistakes. [/quote] Yes that's one thing, but such force is not even close to necessary for a 110 pound woman that isn't exactly being a roughhouse. [/quote] Like I said, the officer should be punished, or sued, but we don't need to act like the officer is the devil himself and wish or desire a harsh punishment for what is very likely a mistake and not intentional. [/quote] I tend to wish for harsh punishment for abusers. Did you see the pics? A grown man did that to a very petite woman. That's no honest mistake. [/quote] I don't think he intended for her to be flung across the room. He was excessive, and he should be punished. I've watched the video several times and the pics. I understand it is shocking, but we are supposed to be a country of justice. Just as we want her to be innocent, he should likewise be viewed. We don't know he intention here, we don't know what is happening prior to or how she might have reacted. These are not potential excuses but can help to better understand the situation and gauge punishment accordingly. If we don't want to be a society of savages, we must not be savages. [/quote]
