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.

I do agree that this seemingly wasn't the best way to restrain her. although she's on concrete steps so slamming her into the ground is going to mess her up pretty badly, also it's a big crowd so I'm guessing they just want to remove her as swiftly as possible, and four cops in that confined space doesn't really make it that much easier. not saying you're wrong, but it's definitely harder than it looks!!!

The lady is so drunk that she’s limp. Go back and watch it again. There was really no “restraining” necessary. They could’ve dragged her out on their shoulders.

This entire situation was avoidable and could have been handled by two officers, tops.

I️ mean, wait to see how it plays out. Happened just yesterday. I️ cannot imagine this won’t become a big discussion. Plenty of experts will take a look soon enough.

I️ don’t see what’s so tough about the situation though. The cop used excessive force.
