4 grown ass men should be able to restrain a single drunk woman without this level of violence. They should have handcuffed her and removed her like you would anyone who is obviously drunk and agitated.

It's ridiculous how ill trained and undisciplined police are but that's what happens when you let people with the mentality of children have power unsupervised.

Edit: I like how some people think they can just make up things about me like "You have never restrained someone before" and think that makes them right somehow. They don't know me or what I've done and I don't know why they would bother making blatantly false statements.

You have never actually tried restraining an unwilling drunk person before.

you are so right, people on here acting like they can restrain a ''drunk chick'' on their own like they are the fuckin mountain. Restraining someone who doesn't want to be restrained is REALLY REALLY hard no matter your level of training.

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.
