[quote=ltsdd][quote=CA renter]It was pretty clear in this video that she was putting up a fight and resisting arrest. [/quote]
Try having someone pressing their knees on your head, neck or chest and let me know if your instinct is to “resist” or not.
And watch the video again. Didn’t see much of a resistance there until after the second cop showed up. The video panned away but I am pretty sure the action of the second cop is the main reason why “she was putting up a fight” – on her belly, btw.
The second cop that showed up and charging in like rambo made what looked like a routine arrest into a worse situation.[/quote]
Agree, the second cop looked like he was experiencing “roid rage.” Even the way he drove in reverse at a high speed next to a park where children are playing showed that he wasn’t thinking straight. But we also don’t know how the call came in. Did the first cop say that he was struggling with someone who was violent? We just don’t know. Until we do, it’s all conjecture.
