>>>>>>The cop mishandled the girl. There is no excuse for man handling a teenage girl in that manner if she poses no physical threat to you.
And if she resists a peaceful order to leave the area? He was a bit rough with her yes, but when you repeatedly ignore orders to leave the area, what other options are you giving the officer?
Most instances like that, cops are watchful, but give people more of a chance to leave the area. ( especially end of school type situations)
He acted like it was a zombie apocalypse.
more of a chance? You don't need "more of a chance". This is more Western wimp talk. You don't need more of a chance. When you are told to leave.... you just do it. When he says "get on the ground" you just do it. When he says "face down, hands behind your back", you just do it.
I guess I'm the only one that had parents. When my father said "time to go" it was time to go. When he said "clean up this mess", it was time to clean up the mess. My father taught me to do as I was told when confronted with authority. The police officer is the authority. Shut up.... keep your mouth closed... and do as your told. It's part of being in a civilized society. Go live in Libya if you don't like authority. See what's it like to live without an authority.
I use to go to plenty of large parties where the cops came and not once did they tell anyone face down, hands behind your back. There was also a little talking back ... the cops simply didn't react the same way.
Im not against police or authority at all. I have a ton of respect for what cops do every day. I just don't think they are right all the time.
