Police Officer Punches "Lady".

FOXNews.com - Seattle Police Guild Defends Officer's Punch

How can you fight an officer, and expect nothing less to happen? Now they are yelling racism.

Racism? I don't care if you're purple. Don't start something and expect it to be a one-way street.

[Garufa]

I honestly do not understand how a man could punch a woman in the face. This would have been an excellent use for a Taser, for her and everyone else around.

[Il Duce]

shoulda tazed

[Guest HvyMtl]

She deserved to get punched... Dumb to push and challenge a Police Officer.

She is lucky she didnt get shot.

I bet she gets all her charges dropped, she sues and gets a big settlement, and the Officer gets fired, and wont be able to find another job...

[Guest Jamie]

shoulda tazed

If he had one, he should'a used it.

However, not all departments issue the things... in which case he should'a pepper sprayed the hell out'a her. And everybody else there.

he should have tazed her ,and after 3 minutes of pissing in her pants and shaking on the street load her up in the cruizer and take her to jail... I work with public every day, big time, and often we have to call NMPD to help us with idiots like this one... we are not allowed to put our hands on anyone but there sure is many times when we would love to punch a moron in the middle of his/her face...hope this cop doesn`t get fired or something, this is turning into racial/politics game, so we will see...

If they had just complied...

That woman was as big as he is.

JMHO... If you want to act like a man expect to get treated like a man.

+1 DO NOT EVER TOUCH A OFFICER during an arrest. Record/Film, Call 911, but don't ever do that, WTF was her friend thinking??? Completely stupid of her to interfere.

[Volzfan]

On the report I saw this morning his department was backing him completely. They said he did just as he was trained. I hope they don't bow to the pressure.

I wonder if he busted her "Grill"?

My dad always taught me not to hit a lady. And neither of those women in that video were ladies.

I say he was justified when she shoved him.

[Smith]

I find it interesting all the "good Samaritans" standing around questioning why the officer was "beating" on them. Why were they not asking why the girls were fighting with a PO? So backwards.

[vontar]

/joke on

a Real tennessean would never hit a woman, unless she starts it.

/joke off

She was wrong, the video showed it.

Her momma should have taught her the difference between a minor jwalking(traffic ticket), misdemeanor, and felony assault. Now our legal system will have to do it for her.

My thoughts exactly.

Law Enforcement is a customer service focused business...

The customer always gets what they want.

+1 DO NOT EVER TOUCH A OFFICER during an arrest.

Words to live by! Never, ever touch a LEO, let alone push or shove. Hopefully the PO wont be canned over this.

That officer needed backup sorely. At least a half dozen more officers; one for each jackass who wanted to impede the arrest by crowding him. Busted noses for everyone!

[Guest RRM]

I know he had two idiots to focus on but there was too many chances for the others around to access his weapon. He should of tazed to gain control instead of playing grab arms (unless he was going to cuff them). I am glad to see it didnt get any worse for him than it did.

[Guest That Guy]

Damn Straight! I would have done the same.

I heard about this the other day on Jason Ellis, but hadn't seen the video. Someone on the show claims there was a voice on (one of) the original video(s) that said, "Let's slash the po-lice."

[DarrellG]

He was lucky that didn't get very ugly. I watch a version of the video twice and I never heard him tell anyone they were under arrest. The girl got what she deserved and should get charged with battery on the officer and an obstruction charge for interfering with him.

[JG55]

I think the officer was wrong to punch her, there are other restraint techniques for him to use that don't require Punching a woman. Just my 2 cents..

[Guest 6.8 AR]

I think he was doing what he had to do before he was surrounded and ambushed. If he had a taser, could he have used it while wrestling with two? Just curious. It looked like the scene could have turned ugly, quickly. He definitely had his hands full.
