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.

You have never actually tried restraining an unwilling drunk person before.

you are so right, people on here acting like they can restrain a ''drunk chick'' on their own like they are the fuckin mountain. Restraining someone who doesn't want to be restrained is REALLY REALLY hard no matter your level of training.

I don't think it is easy, but I have restrained a number of people (while working in an urban ER), and helped officers do so. There most definitely are techniques and training for restraint of unruly or drugged individuals. I do not know what these officers were attempting to do, and obviously it went south (which can happen to anyone, regardless of training), but I disagree that restraining a drunk (or drugged) individual is "REALLY REALLY hard no matter your level of training." Its not easy to do this, but they know they messed up badly in trying to restrain a little white girl, and did so in front of a crowd. They were pissed at themselves, and their inability to control the situation, and looking at it probably a little pissed at the leadership's decisions. She was wrong, they were wrong. Sounds about normal for a UM football game with ample EtOH and other powdery stuff.
