Cop punches girl in the face, recent video

Re: Cop punches girl in the face, recent video

People need to remember one thing: None of this shit happens if you do what your told when confronted by a LE officer. If you have a bitch, tell it to your lawyer or the judge. The officer is not there to argue with you nor should he.

Everytime this comes up people always want to blame the cops but as stated above "NONE" of it would ever happen if they kept thier mouth shut and done what they were told. They are the ones that start it and then bitch when they get taken down for it.

A police officer can use "Whatever force necessary to affect the arrest" When I started in LE we weren't tought shit. Then officers were getting hurt trying to make arrests so we were tought "Come alongs" more for passive resistance. Then it was verbal Judo to become more politically correct because of law suits.

Now I see they are teaching full fleged martial arts including kicking to try to keep officers from getting killed.

People need to remember that everytime an officer goes to make an arrest there is a gun invlolved, "HIS" When I was on over a third of all officers killed were killed with their own weapon.

Now days they have a lot better holsters but in my day it was not uncommon to have you gun on the floor or ground after an unrully arrest. Society has changed there are a lot of assholes out there now. When I was a kid if a cop told you something it was yes sir and no arguments period!!

Re: Cop punches girl in the face, recent video

From some of the comments I've seen here its pretty apparent that some don't understand the Use of Force Contiuum. This is what ours looks like and is the one accepted by the National Institute of Justice: http://www.nij.gov/topics/law-enforcement/officer-safety/use-of-force/continuum.htm

Looks like this:

1.Officer Presence

2.Verbalization

3.Empty Hand Control
Soft-Grabs, holds, and joint locks
Hard-Punches, kicks

4.Less-Lethal
Chemical- Pepper Spray
Taser
Blunt Objects-Baton, Bean Bag projectiles

5.Lethal Force

We are taught that in a crowded situation like what existed in this case, pepper spray should be avoided if possible. Bystanders will be affected by the spray. Taser comes after hard empty hand control, so if the punch didn't work, that would be the next option.

I wasn't there so I am not going to second guess the guys actions. Just based on what I saw, what he did was justified.

And to all you guys calling him a pussy because he punched a girl, put on a uniform, hop in a patrol car and put yourself in that situation sometime.

My view from the cheap seats.

Ummm, thats not 100% true.

An officer can use whatever force is <span style="font-weight: bold">reasonable</span> and necessary.

If shooting her was necessary to get her in custody that would not be justified because its not reasonable.

that cop needs his fucking ass kicked thats a bullshit move its not professional... theres ways of taking care of that << pepper spray >> he should lose his job and hope she dont sue that department...</div></div>

First pepper spray in a crowded dinner would be a very very bad idea. As for other "ways" if he used a baton you would all say he beat her with a stick, a tazer, well that would be a little hard in that crowded area to do properly and at that close with a thin dress the probes are going into skin. She was a jerk who hit a cop and you all are defending her. Try being a cop first. I'm not saying he was perfectly right but I would settle for a letter of counseling. Her I would put in jail for assault.

You must have missed the part in the constitution about allowing shrill, drunk bitches hammer on you while trying to affect an arrest.

Jesus, I can't believe anyone is dismayed at the actions of this officer; if the female looked awful, I doubt most of the horndogs angling for pity-pussy would be so empathetic!

This is like the armadillo eating thread elsewhere in the 'pit': Someone had to tell us we shouldn't strike a cop?

Re: Cop punches girl in the face, recent video

Back to the fact: it was a little chick. If you gotta punch a little chick to control her you do not posess the minimum skill for your job.

I tell you what, I think she showed more character trying to protect her friend then Jumbo with his inability to control two little chicks in a frickin IHOP. Talk about tactically ineffective, good thing it wasn't a big chick or he would have had his big ass handed to him.

TOPO< I'm still waiting for you to tell us all how it should be done. Start with trying to get the original offender out of the booth and go from there. I am curious how a person with your insight and intelect would handle this situation. You have established that the cop was fat and the girl is skinny. Break it down how it should be properly handled so I can make sure and do it "right" the next time.
Thanks in advance,

Yes, please do. And don't forget to apply the Use of Force Continuum to whatever method you decide to use. If you jump a level make sure you explain why, both the prosecutor and the defense attorney are going to want to know why.

Re: Cop punches girl in the face, recent video

I'm just curious what the big hurry was on the part of the cop?

The original woman he was trying to arrest was trapped in a booth. She wasn't going anywhere. Why not just give it a minute, and try to explain what she had done wrong, and why she needed to cooperate? Perhaps being a little less "large and in charge" would have diffused the situation. Seeing as she apparently walked (ran), one has to wonder why the cop was going after her in the first place.

Judging from the cop's physical appearance and actions, I can't help but wonder if he's harboring a grudge from being bullied as a child. He saw someone he knew he could dominate, and he snapped. If that female had been a guy that looked like he was capable of kicking the cop's ass, I doubt that he would have attempted any kind of physical confrontation.

I'm not excusing her behavior, but let's face it - what that cop did was pretty extreme. Lots of women behave badly while being apprehended, but I doubt if 1 in 100,000 get punched in the face.

 

[huntin1]

Re: Cop punches girl in the face, recent video

The problem is we see a minute and a half of the confrontation and only what the person taking the video wants us to see. Unless you were there you don't know that he did not explain, at length, what she had done wrong.

I find it amusing that from the short video we see, with no other information provided that it can be extrapolated that the officer was bullied as a child, decided that he could and would dominate the female and snapped. As well as determining that the officer would have done something different if the female had been a guy.

It looks bad, but I agree with paulosantos. The officer was trying to remove another person and was interfered with. Imagine how this could escalate if all of the guy's friends stepped in to prevent him from being arrested or ejected. I think you have to end the interference immediately and keep it from growing. I wonder what was in the mind of the girl in the black dress, if anything? Don't mess with the police unless you can tolerate the response. In the end she looked OKay, the officer hit her with only a glancing blow at the table.

Re: Cop punches girl in the face, recent video

If you watch the video the female clearly was interferring with the officers and SHE was the one that was pushing on him, he tried to push her out of the way, and then when she came at him, she got nailed. I wasn't there, and he dealt with the threat accordingly. Who knows, she might have had a knife in her hand, it is a restaraunt.

One thing is for certain, that chick can take a punch. Wresting chicks is hard, I have been trying for years but they all run away screaming :0. That last part was all BS, sorry.

Would you find it more believable that he was an all-state wrestler that started an uncontrollable junk food binge a few years ago? Or perhaps that he's always been a little on the husky side? We already know that a department that hires the morbidly obese must have some pretty high qualification standards for their officers.

He couldn't even wait for his partner, who was stepping in to assist when he threw that punch. That pretty much covers the patience part.

And by the way, if this isn't a textbook case of someone snapping, I don't know what is. He was so consumed by events, that his original target ran off. Of course we could cloak his actions with something PC like "a lack of proper training".

And not just "a guy". I'm talking someone who looked intimidating. An adult version of the kid that used to steal his lunch money and give him a wedgie.

Re: Cop punches girl in the face, recent video

Moral of the story is.... it's on video and the public will view it as police brutality. Especially because it's a woman he will face some suspension time and she will probably sue the department and win.

Thats what you weak minded pussies what to think, but there are people in this world that deserve far worse things done to them than this.

You're calling someone else a pussy? If your ability to subdue a little drunk chick is limited to punching her in the face, you have just demonstrated a complete INABILITY to effectively execute your job as a police officer. Someone show me where your ROE state when you need to punch a woman in the face, <span style="text-decoration: underline">please</span>. The whole resturant was not rioting, two little women were acting up, just punch them. Coward. You're trusted to use the apparent empty space between your ears to correctly assess a situation and use reasonable force, if you're incapable of handling a little woman you have no business wearing a badge. If you're so bitter as a cop to where you say "I'm punching anyone who puts their hands on me", seek professional help because you have issues to resolve. </div></div>

TOPO go get someone that can read and explain this post to you.

Hey dumb fuck I'm not a cop and I even said I wasn't. So I guess you are right I have no business wearing a badge. Thanks for displaying to everyone your lack of comprehension skills.

Jumbo in the video apparently did not have the skillset to subdue a woman much smaller then he was. Fail. Because of this lack of ability he had to resort to excessive force. Fail. Subduing and arresting suspects are squarely within his job title, if he cannot do it professionally and execute it with the proper force, he does not meet minimum requirements for that position. Thats how real jobs work everywhere. Does it state in your ROE to punch chicks if you're too inept to subdue them?

He wasn't being shot at. It wasn't a riot. It was little drunk chicks in dresses at an IHOP, not 200# biker chicks with chains.

Do we need to start building the ovens now? With this mindset SOMEONE will "deserve" that too pretty soon. </div></div>

He didn't "punch" her, he used an American Boxing technique called "The Jab".

I would like to put TOPO-Sniper and Ch'e in a unit for a Fri/Sat night shift. Some of the toughest "people" to arrest happen to be women. They can be very difficult. Ch'e is not giving them any credit for the damage they can do. I would take a "Jab" over OC or Taser any day. Many LE get hurt badly trying to be gentle with chicks and they/we pay for it in the end when they are on med leave/retirement. Just handle the person who is the threat.

Amazingly, many of these people who say the cops are out of line are the same ones who would say, "oh well, if there are women and children in that Afgan village when the missiles hit, they should know better than to co-mingle with the Taliban".

The comments about the ovens is so over the top. Give me a break. Amazing how emotional people get on the Internet.

Re: Cop punches girl in the face, recent video

Socalsheepdog we happen to view the way this officer acted as being inappropriate - no problem with sorting her out but its how one goes about it and I an others felt he did it wrong.
As soon as she put her hands on him he could have stood back reaccessed his options with his fellow officers and created a game plan with them and not alone -violently I might add.
Just because he wears a badge doesn't mean he should take a thuggish attitude .That badge sure doesn't make him faultless in his actions and judgements -and he fucked up.
I have no doubt at all about what an officer has to deal with daily and for his/her own safety it is how smart they go about their job that keeps them safe -one way is not throwing fuel onto the fire

 

[DODGE268]

Re: Cop punches girl in the face, recent video

So Che, you are saying that while hands on with a resisting suspect, I get attacked from the side. At this point I turn and push/slap at the atttacker. The attacker now begins to throw punches at my head. So in your world, I let go of the resisting suspect, step back, take a moment and then decide what to do? What friggin world do you live in? What the oficer now has done, in your scenario, is established in a room full of possibly violent drunks that have already established that they are willing to commit a felony in defense of their friend, is that if you hit him he will let go and back off. I think that is a very dangerous precident to set in that particular situation. Where I live striking an officer is a felony so what he did would have been the right thing to do. He disengaged from what was probably a lesser charge, we don't know because we've never seen what led up to this moment, and did what he should have and engaged what is now a felon. The assault on a police officer, which is what she did, regardless of your feelings about her size, gender, etc. is a serious charge in any jurisdiction that I know of, probably in NZ as well. I don't remember reading in any of the statute books that the assault can only be made by a big scary man, but hey, maybe things are different where you live. If it is, I feel for the cops that work there.

The mistake you are making.....an understandable mistake though, is you are thinking of her in terms of a girl.

When a cop tells you to leave the property, you just do it. You dont sit and debate with them, argue with them....and you certainly dont hit them.

There is no boy/girl when someone hits you and resists arrest.

The law is black and white, chivalry does not exist in that scenario.

The cop was justified and will receive no suspension or other forms of punishment, count on that.

Re: Cop punches girl in the face, recent video

*** I just posted this on another thread regarding this video, but felt to keep the discussion in one place it is best in this thread.***


The end all truth of it is that outside of the Criminal Justice Judicial system most people are to ignorant to understand how things really are in the world. This is because of a lot of reasons, but mostly the lack of understanding and arrogance. So an unenlightened individual like TOPO-Sniper there comes along a video like the one of the Officer striking the female and he jumps on the proverbial band wagon and shows his ignorance, or more correctly his lack of understanding.

What most citizens don't fully understand is what it's truly like to fight and deal with combative individuals. And no that school yard fight you got into in high school doesn't count.

Most people, (TOPO included apparently) truly have the belief that everyone and every situation can be "talked down" or "handled differently". But the biggest thing is, that they don't get the fact that in that situation, according to the Judicial system they voted for, it is acceptable in to strike that female in the manor in which he did to lawfully eliminate the threat she was posing, yes there are alternatives, but not necessarily more effective ones.

People just truly don't care to, or want to understand that in a video like that of the Officer striking the female there is more going on that you remotely understand. Again ignorance and a failure to understand, or an attempt to anyway. But this is nothing new, certain citizens like to complain, and continue to be narrow minded. Especially when it involves something that takes just a little thought process and understanding.

I could sit here and pick apart that video and explain in full understanding why his actions were called for, I could explain it in depth as to leave no doubt, but ignorant people will always be just that, by their choosing.

BESIDES that fact that it's a video, and I don't care what video you are watching but you can bet the farm that unless the camera is rolling minutes before the action and from multiple angles you don't have a damn clue whats going on. I find it funny how perfect of an example this situation is. The first video everyone sees starts with the fight already going, so you have NO CLUE what actually is going on, but don't worry folks the ignorant observant will judge regardless... SO after a barrage of ill advised, mis-informed comments, a SECOND video surfaces, and shows that with nothing more than a different angle, it inadvertently shows that the actions of the female to the Officer justified the Officer's response in full. BUT the ignorant close minded individual fails to see or understand that, and continues to spew negativity.

So now that I've tried to explain things in-hopes some may understand that just because they watch a video doesn't mean you have a flying clue about whats really going on as seen by the laws and Judicial system they voted for! But regardless those same people will respond to my post with negativity and further arrogance. Don't believe me? Just sit back and watch, they can't help themselves...

Don't try and sugar coat it. It was a punch.
If women are so hard to subdue then maybe you just need to shoot every guy you see!

He wasn't being shot at. It wasn't a riot. It was little drunk chicks in dresses at an IHOP, not 200# biker chicks with chains.

Do we need to start building the ovens now? With this mindset SOMEONE will "deserve" that too pretty soon. </div></div>

He didn't "punch" her, he used an American Boxing technique called "The Jab".

I would like to put TOPO-Sniper and Ch'e in a unit for a Fri/Sat night shift. Some of the toughest "people" to arrest happen to be women. They can be very difficult. Ch'e is not giving them any credit for the damage they can do. I would take a "Jab" over OC or Taser any day. Many LE get hurt badly trying to be gentle with chicks and they/we pay for it in the end when they are on med leave/retirement. Just handle the person who is the threat.

Amazingly, many of these people who say the cops are out of line are the same ones who would say, "oh well, if there are women and children in that Afgan village when the missiles hit, they should know better than to co-mingle with the Taliban".

The comments about the ovens is so over the top. Give me a break. Amazing how emotional people get on the Internet. </div></div>

Not saying anyone here is right or wrong, but I can jab harder than most people can punch. I think most boxers can. In fact I've knocked a guy out in the ring with a jab before. And Jabs don't come from the strong side... ever. That would be a straight or a cross

I find it amusing that from the short video we see, with no other information provided that it can be extrapolated that the officer was bullied as a child, decided that he could and would dominate the female and snapped.

The mistake you are making.....an understandable mistake though, is you are thinking of her in terms of a girl.

When a cop tells you to leave the property, you just do it. You dont sit and debate with them, argue with them....and you certainly dont hit them.

There is no boy/girl when someone hits you and resists arrest.

The law is black and white, chivalry does not exist in that scenario.

The cop was justified and will receive no suspension or other forms of punishment, count on that. </div></div>

Unless you are rich, a man getting a divorce, etc etc etc. There is no black and white and you know it! There is a lot of discretion. Call it like it is! </div></div>

Thats untrue.

Maybe thats true in the courtroom unfortunately....not at street level however.

Discretion goes out the window the moment someone lays their hands on you. I would have punched Bill Gate's wife the same way.

Re: Cop punches girl in the face, recent video

Bottom line, anyone who gets in the way of an arrest (right or wrong - it's not for you or the police to decide, that's for the judge/jury to decide) needs to be restrained and detained. It doesn't matter if it's a 30 year old guy, a 60 year old woman, or a 12 year old kid. There's reasonable force that can be used in any situation.

In my opinion, it looked like the officer lost focus, slapped the woman, then took a swing at her when she started hitting him. If she'd scratched him and damaged his eyes, what use of force would be justified? Nobody's ever right all the time, not even women, and I definitely wouldn't want to be working as an officer in some areas where you have just as much of a chance of being shot by a 14 year old kid, a 21 year old guy, or a 40 year old woman.

What level of force would be justified if she started swinging at you:

What level of force is justified once you find out she's Erin Toughill and has a 10-4-1 MMA record?

If it was Erin Toughill id first let her for "free" get me on my back --then we might have a little struggle with her while warning her of course that I will have to spray her with my KY bottle if she resists,the suggest she slips into my manacles.Defiantly no punching

Re: Cop punches girl in the face, recent video

All of you "X-spurts" who said the LEO did wrong......
How much time have you spent in a black and white?

It's simple folks...IF, you don't want to get punched, DON'T fight the cops or anydangbody else for that matter.
A face punch is one of the fastest ways to stop fight.
The LEO in that vid did no wrong.

Internet is one thing. So you are saying that you would have punched some congressmans wife? Your police chiefs or a fellow officers wife??

Maybe its true and maybe you would, but I doubt the rest of the LE org follows your example. People talk a big game especially here on the net when it really isn't their ass on the line.

What most don't understand is the officer does not have to wait for the damage to happen before he raises his level of force. LEO, by policy (most agencies these days) get to go directly to the force necessary to make the arrest or stop the fight. We don't know what damage the suspect was planning to do but we know the intent to do harm was there so the officer took action to stop it.

As far as my Jab comment, I was trying to be funny in room with a lot of mud flying.

Re: Cop punches girl in the face, recent video

HAHAHA

The bitch got what she deserved. Next time she'll think twice before interfering with an arrest or taking a swing at a cop in uniform.

It's been my experience when dealing with perps that women tend to escalate things way more than guys do. She acted like a savage and was treated accordingly.

Being a punching bag for people ISN'T part of the job.

Re: Cop punches girl in the face, recent video

1st of all, if you watch the video second by second, her hand was on the officers left shoulder when he struck her, she was not striking the officer (initially). She was also looking at officer 1, not bitting him (as someone alluded to).

2nd: What is officer 2 doing? He is behind officer 1, his hands/arms are around officer 1. WHY?

3rd: After officer 1 slaps her, she retaliates, and starts swinging. Obviously this is not a wise decision.

4th: How the hell can anyone say that is a legitimate attempt to detain someone? Trying to pull someone over a table?

Now, perception is reality, so...... what was the intent of the woman that was struck?
Was she interfering? Possibly. Why? who knows?

Is it possible to say she is in a position of neutrality?

ie: similar to the position you would be in trying to keep people separated? It could be viewed as such. One could argue the individual in the booth was having a medical condition that prevents her from obeying orders. From what we saw she was not combative.

Have officers ever been dispatched to a scene of someone not coherent? Could it be diabetic shock? Is that a plausible reason?

The FACT is YOU/WE don't know, and CAN NOT say for certain. No one's opinion of what happened matters, LEO or civi's, because none of us was there.

We do not see what initiated the conflict, the fact is, LE was called (unless they were dining) for a reason.

IF some one see's something different than what I saw in the video, lay it out, and I'll re-review the video.

After watching the second video, I agree the officer was not trying to pull her across the table, as you stated.

Tell my why there are three people who attempt to mitigate the actions of officer 1? Woman in red top approaches from behind and to his left. Places hand on left shoulder and attempts to get his attention. 2nd- woman who got decked. 3rd, officer 2. After watching the second video, there is NO way you can say officer 2 is doing nothing else but attempting to stop what is currently happening. Same as the woman in red as well as the woman who got decked.
