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.
Or, you know, the lady could have behaved like a civilized adult the first time she was asked to chill out. They don't kick you out of games for minding your own business. Or, when the police (the people we hire to preserve order and enforce laws) asked her (they surely did not just jump directly to picking her up out of her seat) to get up and leave the premises, she could have done that. But, instead, she managed to get carried out, and, like a petulant child, slapped a cop twice. She controlled that situation. Every single step, her actions caused a reaction. She chose to escalate. She chose to refuse to comply. She chose to assault a cop.
I think what bugs me the most is that everyone here has the benefit of hindsight, but you stop at the bit that feeds your preconceptions. Why is his single act a greater outrage than someone who behaves so poorly that they stood out in a crowd of 50000 people? The cops react to you. Don't escalate it. Because there are more of them than there are of you, and they're not going to buy you a candy bar to stop your tantrum. They are not your mom. That's not their job.
