Trial date set for novermber. She is pleading not guilty. The department cleared the officer. They have body cam footage. They will release it when the trial is over. Interesting. Methinks there is more to this than people were willing to admit based on 9 seconds.

Maybe but are you suggesting that the three cops standing there could not cuff and arrest a waif of a little woman without body slamming the ****ing hell out of her?

Maybe next time she won't get out of control grabbing throats?
 
What Police Brutality .. there's no Police Brutality.

Do you believe she could have done anything to harm the 3 officers that would equal the injuries she received in kind?

Force is supposed to be appropriate.

They're not allowed to blow your grandma's head off for being difficult.

That would only be the case if she did not strike the officer in the throat. If she did not then she has a pretty good case. But reports state she hit him in the throat. It doesn't take much pressure or force to dislocate or cause at least minor damage to the throat.

Releasing it would create a serious risk of poisoning the jury pool, yet they do it in many cases. Indeed, in this one - the other video is out there.

Not sure how to read it....

It takes a highly trained coward to not handle a Woman as a LEO Professional.

Let's say you are the arresting officer for me. I'm drunk and disorderly (I'm about 6'0 260 and a trained martial artist). I have already been drunk and disorderly and I proceed to grab/strike your threat with enough force to cause you physical pain. What is your response? Arrest me right? What if I resist? And please keep in mind your "backup" is dealing with the original parties involved.

What if I'm black?

What if I'm a woman?

Now. Do you think you being upset is an acceptable response as well? Are you going to take into consideration that I have already harmed you when you go to take me down for continued resistance? Keep in mind that you have (just as the officer did) every right to detain me and put me down. Are you going to say that (and this is assuming she was out of control) that the officer didn't have a right to put her on the ground and cuff her?

I really think it shows something in their favor. And they intend to let the full facts get out so that no mistrial or anything can be claimed. This is their ace in the hole PR move. When people bitch about her being found guilty...they release this to prove their case in the court of public opinion. Keep in mind the guy was reinstated to the force. I don't think they would have done that if it wasn't in their favor.
 
So you are suggesting that the body slam was their only avenue then?

Well first. This wasn't a body slam. Since you probably aren't a grappler...I will forgive the transgression. Especially since the incident is referred to as the "body slam" incident. A complete lie of course. But nobody would know the actual name of the move in question.

Second. Yes. I'm suggesting that if she was non compliant, actively resisting, and had already shown a willingness to harm the officers, taking he off her feet was the easiest way to neutralize her ability to become violent...again. This officer did a simple wrist lock and rotatation that took her off her feet. She had the wrong shoes on for a grappling match. High heels don't belong on the mat.

Tell me. Do you think the officer would have reason to subdue a suspect if they are violent?

It certainly is a possibility.

Though I do think it may still be to avoid poisoning the jury pool if it's really bad. Regarding reinstatement, I suppose it depends on whether there is a union in play and/or whether he's been reassigned to other duties pending the outcome.

I suppose you are right there. I always forget about unions. I still find it unlikely that he be put back to work if it was that bad. I would assume they could keep him on paid suspension or leave or something. It would be interesting to see their union contract on that note.

I understand that is not a "body slam" but her body was slammed to the ground. Calling it a body slam is just common sense.

I dabbled in jui-jitsu although I mostly did Shotokan and improvised grappling/wrestling and I don't remember the names of most of the moves...

Then you should be aware of 2 facts...depending on how much you dabbled.

1) Gravity is a bitch.

2) You don't always control how the other person lands or falls.

Well aware... bu that is a Red Herring to the fact that he did not need to body slam a little girl like that.

I hope she sues and that she wins...

Why didn't she just comply with the police? If she had complied she would have been handcuffed.
No fuss, no muss. She set in motion the events that occurred.
It's just amazing that people decide to make a bad decision and fight the police and then wonder and
cry about a physical confrontation happening. Wise up people you fight the police and they will defend themselves!

I dunno. If I had a dig biting on my leg, I would probably kick a minature dachshund just as hard as I would kick a pit bull. And I would most likely slap a stinging honey-bee as hard as I would swat a red-wasp.

I would probably make for a very bad cop.

He didn't Body slam her. After MUCH review...I think it is quite clear what he actually did. I will share it with you after we get the next part answered. And since you THINK it is a red herring...let me ask you...

If she did strike him in the throat...would you agree that getting her to the ground and cuffing her was the correct course of action? Or do you believe that he was wrong for attempting to arrest her?
