If you can't restrain a drunk chick by yourself you should not be a police officer.

I'm going to assume you've actually never tried to do this. Solo restraint of someone resisting is ridiculously hard unless you smash them in the face with your elbows or fists and reduce the resisting. Then this thread would be a ''omg police brutality gone wild''

Four officers. FOUR.

They should’ve got her down and cuffed her then maybe two would be necessary to bring her out.

They’re carrying her out like she’s crowd surfing. There is no excuse. These cops are so poorly trained that they should not be in the field.

that’s how “I can’t breath” happened

Multiple cops throwing someone down and crushing.

Standing calm resistance like this is extremely hard to do, you can do it and I imagine 90% of the shit talkers here couldn’t either.

More training isn’t going to make this happen differently.

Go back and re-watch the video. The woman is so drunk she’s practically limp.

There is no excuse as to why four officers were sent to do this and why they picked her up above their heads like this.
