Deputy drags cuffed mentally ill woman out of court by her feet (w video)

In a written report to her supervisor, Assistant Public Defender Rhonda Boettcher said Rios had been declared incompetent and, after her hearing was over, was heard arguing with a female deputy in the courtroom. Johnson interceded and escorted Rios into the hallway, Boettcher said. Once there, Rios sat on a bench and started to cry.
Assistant Public Defender Lynn DeSanti, who is married to Gelin, said she saw Johnson say "Get up, we're leaving." When Rios wouldn't get up, Johnson got physical, DeSanti said.
"He basically picked up this girl, yanked her off the bench, and started dragging her through the hallway," she said. "I said 'Stop it! What are you doing to her?' But he just told her, 'You don't want to walk? I'm going to drag you.'"
What says the OT? Par for the course?

Uncalled for

It all comes down to what you think is acceptable treatment for a lawfully detained PRISONER (let's not act like this is some citizen walking down the street) when they actively refuse to cooperate. He gave her a chance and she refused to move. That isn't in dispute. The next question is how does he move her?
The best course of action would be to get a wheelchair or something and physically put her in it before taking her back to the cells.
Worst course of action is to beat her into submission. THAT would be criminal since she isn't offering active aggression.
Dragging her falls somewhere in the middle. It doesn't look pretty but he didn't hurt her and he didn't strike her. He moved her and that is because she wouldn't move herself.
There will be cop haters here who will opine that he should have just sat there for hours holding up the entire court system until she decided to comply. I don't agree with that. On the other hand, I wouldn't have dragged her either.
They should have gotten a couple of big dudes and picked her up by the arms and marched her arse back to the cell.

I'm OK with that.

Cops do a ton of stupid and downright horrible shite often.
This is not one of those times. Bitch should have listened to him and not been uncooperative.

Bitch should have gotten up.

I don't see anything wrong with what he did.

agreed. Cop wasn't dragging her down the street or over rocks and broken glass. Just pulled her down the hallway. Certainly not the most professional way to handle the situation, but I'm good with it.

Ah...
At first, I though this was about Janice Clark.

This is clearly a hate crime.
