It looks like she challenged his authority and he tackled her as she was walking away.

What the fuck? Uhm, this looks like some kind of excuse for this guy to put himself on top of this girl. Her skirt was up...and he's just pressing himself on her while claiming resistance when there is clearly absolutely NONE. I would have tackled that fucking pig.

The girl was drunk, disorderly, and resisted arrest.


Police Officer Takes Down Drunk Girl At DC Metro Station (http://en.terra.com/latin-in-america/news/police_officer_takes_down_drunk_girl_at_dc_metro_s tation_video/hof12130)



According to reports, the police officer approached the allegedly drunken female when she was acting 'disorderly' near the fare machines. He asked her to leave the station and she did so, for a while at least. After she reentered the station, he asked her to leave again and that's where the video below kicks off.

An argument ensues and the girl heatedly walks away. At that point, he follows the girl calling her back and then pulls her shoulder or hair, taking her down to the ground. Police reports depicted the incident in a different light.

'The officer decided to place the woman under arrest. While attempting to place handcuffs on her, she pulled her arm away, and when the officer reached for her other arm, she tripped over the officer's foot, and they both fell to the ground. The officer dropped his handcuffs during the fall and attempted to restrain the woman as he reached for the handcuffs.'

That cop needs to be fired. He was pissed because she insulted him. She was walking away and was no threat to that dbag. He tackled her because his ego was hurt. That is bullkrap....I can't tackle someone because they insult me and neither should that pile of krap.

"Today's decision reflects the constitutional requirement that, in the face of verbal challenges to police action, officers and municipalities must respond with restraint. We are [482 U.S. 451, 472] mindful that the preservation of liberty depends in part upon the maintenance of social order. Cf. Terminiello v. Chicago, supra, at 37 (dissenting opinion). But the First Amendment recognizes, wisely we think, that a certain amount of expressive disorder not only is inevitable in a society committed to individual freedom, but must itself be protected if that freedom would survive. We therefore affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeals."~ HOUSTON v. HILL, 482 U.S. 451 (1987)
