seems to me like she had to comply based on the circumstances.


Nope.

If there's no crime being committed, has been committed or any infraction that has taken place, she's well within her rights to refuse to comply.

Lol, cases like this are just one reason why protected immunity for cops needs to end.

You're a cop, how does someone ONLY get arrested for resisting arrest?


Not supposed to.


And for the record I never defended the cop. Was pretty obvious that the pregnant female was being confrontational with everyone from the start. She attempted to intimidate the other woman and then threw something at her car. When the officer arrived adn attempted to sort the situation out and keep the peace between the two women she refused to cooperate. Her dramatics displayed in the video are lost on me.

As far as the physical confrontation between the pregnant woman and the officer, I would not have handled it that way. Im not up to speed on California law or that departments policy but if he over stepped either I hope he receives a fair punishment. I believe being a police officer isn't a job where you can "wing it". You better know the laws you are enforcing and what actions are within the scope of your duties.

I guess im somewhat desensitized to the "police acting badly" videos on here and was more surprised by the pregnant woman's desire to be difficult when it was not necessary. Especially with her being in such a vulnerable state.

And what should they have done? Waited until she decided to get off the phone? Or perhaps when it was convenient for her? You sound like a rabid SJW with your statement.


When no incident report is filed, they should leave the scene. No one is resisting or obstructing when no incident is filed. Get it?

Wouldn't be surprised if this bitch planned this whole thing out so she could get her payday.

That fricking bitch is a drain on society and so is the bastard in her belly. She deserved it.

Except for the fact that it's not enough to cuff her.

But if you are not legally obligated to do so, why should there be any sort of punishment whatsoever for not doing so?

After watching the full video, the cops completely overstepped their bounds here. There was no need for the woman to play the race card within seconds, but the cops had no reason to put their hands on her and try to arrest her.

Hard to say if the article's description that she was "slammed" to the ground is accurate, only because the footage is jumping everywhere as they try to cuff her. I didn't read a report about any cuts or bruises she sustained, and the baby was born healthy. Not excusing the actions of the cops, but the force they used to detain her might be a tad overblown.

I find it interesting the woman was banned from the school though. It sounded like the white woman said she worked there, so maybe teachers or administrators have had problems with this woman in the past or think she might start another confrontation? Only guessing. I just think it's odd to ban her for a single parking lot incident where no crime was committed.

That shite got a little to intensence but Frick her for being an idiot. Her name, they wanted her name. Thing is she'd be the first to call the cops for a dog barking then bitch about the cops not showing up fast enough. For that reason, not a frick is given.

The cops could have handled it better and are 100% at fault with poorly managing the situation.

That said, the lady seems to be a real piece of work. Fact is, if she Simply states her name, this likely doesn't happen. Period.

I don't condone the actions of the officer, but for Christ's sake. What the frick is she scared of by giving her God damned name? IMHO, it's this small minority of AA's that try anything possible to talk and act uncivilized to an officer simply BECAUSE they are an officer. Some people truly do bring shite onto themselves for no other reason than they are fricking dumb.

frick her dumb, soon to get assistance arse, and frick the cop for making it a story.

The cop could have tried to settle the incident down more I agree, but as there really wasn't an issue and the cop told the first lady there wasn't a crime committed, what harm would it have been to explain the situation and give a name. How many times in a normal person's life does he/she give first and last name when introducing themselves? The pregnant lady was immediately defensive and irate.

These cops are assholes like most cops are assholes. That was totally unnecessary, she was no threat to them. Why does she have to show them her identification? And to the guy that asked why are her and her boyfriend not married..would you have asked that if she was white? Just curious..

Any harm in the cops leaving the area after deciding no crime eas committed and seeing the lady did not want to give her name?

Would you flat refuse to give an officer your name? Keep it 100% real with your answer too. It doesn't require an explanation, it's a closed end question: yes or no?
