Shut the fuck up?Originally Posted by babowc
Obviously your juvenile mind has yet to comprehend that in life, people will have views that conflict with what you think is right. If you cant have a mature, adult conversation, hit the back button on your browser and go look at funny pictures of cats because I'm trying to keep it civilized. kthxbye
First off, I'm not saying the officer was right. Lets get that out of the way for the second time since my post above was unclear. Once again I am not condoning what he did.
Next, all I wanted to say was the way the the female handled the situation wasn't the best way to go at it.
Lets look at facts that anyone can see by watching the video.
1) She was asked to step out to the vehicle. At this point he did not say she was under arrest. It is protocol for an officer to get to a safe and comfortable area before he starts letting his guard down. She did not comply.
2) She was told that she would be pepper sprayed if she didn't comply with his orders. Once again, she was told before hand, before the pepper spray was even taken out. At this point, most people would probably think, "Holy shit, 10 million scovilles in a can. I'd better not fuck around." When she refused a second time, thats when she took it from a simple questioning, to a resisting.
Those are facts. Anyone can agree that that is what happened because it is blatantly apparent on video.
Yes, pepper spray was excessive. She was a smaller frame and could have easily been cuffed and taken out. Officer discretion states that pepper spray can be used to help subdue an unruly suspect once a fair warning is given.
Everyones just hung up on the fact that the officer was wrong. Yes, he was wrong and he did give her a 10 instead of a 20, but the way she handled it took a misunderstanding and escalated it to a problem.
