57. What a crock

Thu Sep 5, 2013, 10:55 PM

Sep 2013

There are enough legitimate cases of police excessive force to be concerned about. This lady was clearly in the wrong and was legally being arrested for trespassing. And the video clearly shows her resisting arrest. The force used by these fine officers is exemplary. They controlled the arrestee's arms and managed to handcuff her without apparent injury or significant force.

I imagine that arresting a resisting individual never looks pretty, but I think this case may be as close to text-book as we are likely to see.
