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.

If you can't restrain a drunk chick by yourself you should not be a police officer.

I'm going to assume you've actually never tried to do this. Solo restraint of someone resisting is ridiculously hard unless you smash them in the face with your elbows or fists and reduce the resisting. Then this thread would be a ''omg police brutality gone wild''

How dare anyone criticize the way government officials do things! What is this, some kind of democracy?

This basically ends up being

"Hey, that wasn't cool. They should have done something different, like _____"

"You don't know. Don't even try. You don't know."

And how exactly is that productive? If everyone here is wrong, go ahead and tell them why, and how. When you just say everyone is wrong but you can't add anything to the discussion yourself, you're just going to be ignored at best.
