Didn't that look like a little over reaction on a teenager? Three armed trained police. Come on guys, when theGinsue gets a tongue lashing by three officers everyone gets in a huff. See it for what it is. That was overkill. Not a big deal to me but let's have some perspective.
Grandpa's Sheriff Badge, Littleton 1920's
I once got my ass kicked in karate class by a teen aged girl. She was good and I underestimated her to my demise. I also saw a 55+ year old guy kick the crap out of three other 20 year old guys. Assumption gets people hurt.
Verbal defiance is a first step in violence, physically acting out afterwards its time for restraints. They did give her multiple opportunities to comply before they ever touched her. She had a lot of options and opportunity to determine what and how the situation was going to end. That arrest was text book.
For the record, I haven't responded to Ginsue's thread and probably won't.
Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.
Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.
I like sex, drugs and automatic weapons. That's why i'm a dues paying member of the Libertarian party. Struggling to keep the government away from messing with the above.
My Wife has her own vice.
the Ginsue didn't fight the police and the police didn't do anything because he wasn't doing anything wrong, just trying to be intimidating. The girl in the class was not following direction, trying to pull away from the police and swing on them, after they told her several times to get up and go outside. She fought, she lost. Too bad!
