Yeah, how difficult could it be

for a single female police officer to wrestle with two women at the same time and safely restraining one while not harming the other?


The female officer "was at the door, went in to talk to the kid, and at that point, he physically punched the officer, so at that point now we have a struggle," Tampa police spokeswoman Andrea Davis said. "While was struggling with that kid, the pregnant suspect and her daughter were fighting with officer."



Oh and that means there were 13 more kids hanging around somewhere. Never know if they're going to join in.

The female officer walked into a house where she knew there were fifteen kids hanging around. She walked in without a warrant. And you are surprised by what happened? The correct procedure was to fall back and call fro backup.

#20 Wait for what?
The SWAT team? Likely they'd be disciplined if they called in backup for every vandalism case they were sent to question a suspect about.

Remember that's what this all was about: a rock thrown through a window. Not an inherently violent crime (I don't think anyone was inside or it would have been treated differently). They had no reason to expect it would explode like that.

Yes, it was just a rock thrown through a window. So what was the rush? Why chase down a boy on an alleged complaint? And, here you're making excuses for the police: "Not an inherently violent crime. They had no reason to expect it would explode like that." And yet throughout this thread there are people who bring up past history on this woman that suggests otherwise. Given the history, (check out the Tampa Tribune) the cops were fools not to think it wouldn't explode this way.

#68 There was no need to retreat

the cops didn't come in guns ablazing. When a cop comes to your door and asks to speak with your son in relation to a crime you aren't defending him or yourself by attacking the cop.

And apparently this lady has been arrested for getting in to an altercation with her case-worker before. So I'm guessing that would have gone about the same way, but with more time and money wasted.

Here you provide an example of what I just said. "this lady has been arrested for getting in to an altercation with her case-worker before. So I'm guessing that would have gone about the same way..."

Again, given the history this woman has had, her response would have been predictable with the cops. Anyone could have seen that she didn't expect the best from the police. She would have feared for her son.

Where I live, the cops would never barge into a house on an alleged rock throwing situation. They would have told the person that called it in that they couldn't pursue it without proof. Why are there two different sets of justice happening in the same state?

The right procedure was to find out who was providing all the assistance to this woman. That is who should have stepped in to help.
