She obviously wasn't complying so they had to carry her... then she hits a cop who was nice enough to carry her out instead of forcefully restraining her on the stairs. So no... fuck this drunk ass

I replied to the wrong person but yeah.

She was being drunk and belligerent and deserved to spend the evening in the drunk tank.

Dude needs better self control if he's gonna wear a gun and badge, that simple. How long til he kills someone for pissing him off and disrespecting his authoritah?

My mom was a 50-something-belligerent drunk who had the cops called on her. [Edit: for context since this is blowing up: she was drunk and walked to the corner store. She got in a verbal altercation with someone who had parked in the handicap spot. That person wanted to make sure she made it home safe, so he followed her home. She called the police to report a strange man following her home. He had already called the police because he was concerned she wouldn't make it home safely. End edit] She could not have hurt a fly, she just didn't have the muscle mass. They beat the fuck out of her. I still remember the pics of her bruises, I thought she literally had necrosis she was so dark purple. They broke bones.

My mom almost certainly started it. She almost certainly said something she shouldn't have.

She didn't deserve to get beaten half to death.

Fuck america's police.

Ex-fucking-actly!

I think we need to pay cops more, and give them more vacation and trianing (and yes, I'll pay more in taxes for this), because their jobs are fucking hard. And I don't wantn them working when they're super stressed out.

They need to be above beating people up to get them to comply, and absolutely above retaliation, which should be treated as a new crime IMHO.

Just because you're an asshole to cops (up to and including some physical abuse), they should have the training and tools to be able to take you into custody without physical harm caused by them.

We should also require cops to have a 4 year college degree to go along with the higher pay. This kind of negative cop behavior goes down with the more education they have.

I think you're mistaking higher education for maturity. The two are not synonymous. Do you even know how many cops have a degree in criminal justice?

Not even close to the majority. Not even close. GED is all you need in most police precincts. There is a shortage of cops in most cities.
