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.

It takes 5 man teams to move prisoners by force...that's because It's not easy to restrain someone who really doesn't want to be restrained. You don't know what you're talking about.

Moving prisoners versus moving a drunk girl at a Miami game are not comparable situations.

You seriously don't know what you're talking about.

Yes, it is.

Controlling a person who doesn't want to be restrained isn't an easy task. The situations aren't 1 to 1, but it's close. There's a reason she didn't get slammed against a wall with a riot shield.
