Seattle Cop hits 17 year old with a haymaker.

"And on the other hand, without a gun they can't get none, But don't let it be a black and a white one, 'cause they slam ya down to the street top, Black police showin out for the white cop " NWA

sorry that's just what i thought of when i read the post, but i agree with you, i think they should mix races in squad cars.

 

What video did you watch? He was clearly trying to restrain and cuff her, but it's not easy fighting two people at the same time. The punch was quick, not very harmful and very effective. It should probably be used more often judging from what the video showed.

 

i wonder if there is any dash cam vid of this?

 

no doubt. i dont think it is a problem or anything. i just think that he should be using purely defensive tactics. this woman should be pretty easy to manage without throwing punches. i would assume cops are taught how to twist arms or whatever to immobilize folks and then get their arms behind their back.

the cop threw the punch because he was angry, not because it was an effective technique. but thats fine. cops get angry, throw a punch if you want, dude, i dont care.

 

She absolutely deserved it, and I am rarely one to defend cops. Anyone who may denounce the cop for his actions would have probably reacted in the same way in this situation.

Besides, I’m frequently hoping that people will get punched in the face for the stupid things they do. So this cop made for one extremely gratifying moment on my end.

 

That's pathetic. You have no idea how tough their job is. And for meager pay at that.

 

the job of cops isnt to give people the punishment they deserve, it is to restrain and arrest them. they are supposed to use purely defensive tactics. not punches.

but again, i dont fault the guy for losing his temper. give him an extra long lunch hour one afternoon and call it "paid suspension" for punishment.

 

right but a decent % of cops get into it so they can be jerkasses and yell at you and have authority. although i have found that new york cops are better and are generally all business and dont have a chip on their shoulder. baton rouge cops can be pricks alot of the time though, especially younger cops.

 

You have to be a azzhole to be a cop. Like I said, it's a tough job.
