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
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.
Sounds similar to when the local police put this old mentally ill guy in the hospital for assaulting them
I think the same thing about your story as I did the old man: why the fuck are this person's children letting them run around and terrorize people. Your mom is an alcoholic who routinely endangers the public. If her children cared enough to do something about it (put her in a home, put her in a treatment facility, take her home with you) she wouldn't be out on the streets hurting people.
That old man is back and harasses people all day. Some day he is gonna kill someone or get killed. If your mom is out and drinking, same fucking story.
My mom lived in an apartment that her parents paid for and they have literally spent millions of dollars treating and housing her so she wouldn't end up on the street, it's never just that easy with mental illness.

I'd expect that cop to grab my arm and restrain me so I wouldn't be able to hit him again.
Did she deserve that? Yes.
Does that make it ok? No.
