When she then turns her back to him and starts walking away, the video shows the officer quickly grab one of her arms, puts it behind her back and pushes her 80-pound (36-kilogram) body to the ground and puts her in handcuffs as she looks confused and repeatedly says "I am going home."


think this one is pretty cut and dry, she's clearly resisting arrest

Correct.

No protests, no one cares.

No free Henny.

Why should we care? It seems like the officers acted perfectly and there is nothing to see here.

It is. I see nothing wrong with the video. Do you?

It's only been positioned as a "black only issue" by people who want to strawman the movement to hold cops accountable.

Black people get the worst end of it, but the abuse by police is not limited to black people.

why would you "think" that? afaik there isn't a SINGLE person who ever claimed that police brutality was exclusively directed at black people. that might be what they tell you on fox news, but one would have to be pretty fucking stupid and ignorant to actually believe that...

That is some piss poor training or the qualifications to become an officer in the USA are abysmal. Perhaps both, they likley go hand in and.

He didn't need to take her down IMO. He probably just as easily could of just gently pulled her along and talked her into getting into the car. Know your audience, don't need to get aggro with a 75-year old that's confused.

Didn't know you had this position about Black Lives Matter spokespeople. I feel like every time I hear one speak racism is undoubtedly linked in with why police behave this way.
