    Whoa! I would think she did something more than say something to get treated like that. It looks like she flug a shoe at them. Even so those two blows to the head were not necessary.

    I've met some good cops, but times have changed. This, to me this looks like business as usual for this particular ****. Girl or boy, that's someones kid that got punched in the face while in a cell. . who very obviously posed great risk to the two armed and full grown men. Put the **** inside and see how he fares. If it's not a calling to you, you shouldn't be a cop. It's not something that you should do because you didn't make the high school football team, and are still pissed.

    Apparently the officer pleaded not guilty. How in the hell would he be not guilty?

    While I agree with you 98% of the time. Just remember there are some crazy, violent women out there.

    Now this video was over the top, but I wouldn't say there is NEVER a reason to hit a girl.

    The size, weight and strength difference between a twig of a girl and a couple of burly cops makes this ABSOLUTELY unacceptable and unfathomable.

    It was almost too much too watch. I have a daughter in the 6th grade (so younger) and I second lectronicjunkie above.

    There gotta be rules that can't be broken or your fired. You swear to protect the and uphold the law. That little girl had no chance against those cops and they didn't need to do all that. That guy better have lost his job and done some time himself. I don't care what she said or flung her shoe at them. No reason for that kind of attack.

    It's terrible, cops should be tested for mental problems. He got some deep problems.

    Well first off, the second cop didn't raise a finger, so don't lump all cops into the same boat. The other should be fired, no doubt and probably charges pressed for brutality. That said, little smart **** girls could always be the worst, and you always just want to smack them around. However... the badge should keep you under control and if it doesn't, you shouldn't be wearing it!

    I was fine with it until he struck her twice then pulled her up by the hair... Was it rough? Obviously. But sometimes rough is ok. Did he cross the line with strikes? No doubt.

    I think that is a little extreme.

    How could that guy possibly plead not guilty?:confused: Even if she slapped his face he should have just subdued and cuffed her. What an a$$wipe.

    Dude, stealing a car is grand theft auto. She will be tried as an adult. Also we have no idea how much she bite, spit, clawed and fought them before being thrown in the cell. To call her a little girl is naive. She is an adult (Since she will be charged as one). I know where you are coming from but also remember you know 45seconds of a story that could have taken hours to develop.

    The girl was in a sealed room. I don't care if she bit, kicked, or punched the police while she was being arrested, she was no threat to them in that room at that time. What they (yes, both of them are guilty as I see it) did to her was absolutely out of control. They could have just walked away, but no.

    I do agree that we only know 45 seconds of the story. I just can't think of any situations where what they did would be justifiable. All they had to do was close the door, leave, and cool down.

    +1! I think it's a little extreme to COVICT someone based on a video alone.
    Without the audio, we have no way of KNOWING what was said by the suspect.
    Maybe, just maybe, the suspect threatened the cops family, maybe his son/ daughter, that the suspect goes to school with?
    If she was arrested for stealing a car, then it's not that much of a leap, to believe she could be violent.:rolleyes:

    And NO, I wouldn't trust the media to relay ALL the pertinent info.
    I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!

    IMHO, that girl was a punk. Assaulting an officer ( in any form) is serious business. She may use a .45 next time.

    She looked like a punk, yes. Being a punk isn't a crime. She tosses a shoe at a cop (assault, probably -- but did they really feel threatened?) and that gives them the right to beat the crap out of her? Wow. Just wow. She "might" use a .45 next time? That's insane logic.

    And even if she did threaten the police officer's family (probably a reach there), that's certainly a charge to be brought against her but STILL no justification for beating down a defenseless prisoner (man or woman). WTF is wrong with some people?

    That's unfortunate. It's situations like this that make cops who use necessary force when needed look bad.

    If you do a search on the net it seems the officer of ate years has been battling a substance abuse problem as well.

    The shoe caused him injury so he violently subdues this girl. If this severe minor discomfort is enough to cause such a caustic retaliation then you wonder how "threatened" his life truly was for him to shoot and kill Pedro Jo.
    There are examples of poor conduct in every profession. I personally know alot of people in law enforcement and they are very honorable. I don't know any that would have behaved that way, regardless of her behaviour.

    Sadly it's a trend you see more and more. I used to have the utmost respect for "Officer Friendly" but times have changed.
    I'll have to admit it's a crappy job but I'm seeing a lot of "over the top" behavior from the cops. I hope the "dick" gets time for his actions. I don't care if they're cops. They have to play by the rules like everyone else does and get off the power trip crap. There's still a constitution with laws. They're not above it and it's time they got a good reminder this isn't **** Germany. If we just sit back and let them do as they damned well please we are all in a world of ****. It will get worse.
    That's the way I see it.

    First off she hasnt been convicted of anything. She was arrested for car theft not convicted of it, even if she had been convicted the deputy isnt the once that is supposed to mete out that justice. your logic sucks bigtime.

    If her parents had did that they would have been arrested for child abuse and rightfully so. Spanking a child and kicking and punching them in the back of the head and pulling her up by her hair are two different things.

    He went too far period.

    Now I know having to deal with as*h*les all the time can wear your patience thin and there are some that may even deserve a good beating but once a suspect is in your custody you are responsible for there safety and as badly as someone may deserve something it doesnt give you the right to act on those feelings. If you have reached the point where you feel you need to beat someone for kicking a rubber flip flop at you then it's time to either seek counseling or a new profession.

    A lil shot of pepper spray would have been force and lesson enough to subdue this dangerous and violent criminal :D

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D
