LA Sheriff punches special needs woman

[UserX]

She could have started a huge pillow fight! Everyone was in danger! Have you ever got a feather in your eye? It hurts!

[SS Junk]

Aw, resorting to name calling? I must have hit a chord....

There's a big difference between dealing with someone in a sterile hosptial environment and dealing with someone on the street. It's kind of hard to hide a shank in a hosptial gown.

Again with the self-flattery and assumptions... You haven't hit anything. It's not name calling if it's true? You really think institution staff are not in danger working even in a "hosptial" environment? Tell me you are not that ignorant.
I didn't work in a hospital or hardly a sterile environment. It was a KOA campground off of Hwy 67 in Keene and was the last resort for kids ages 14 to 17 years old. Most were too unstable for any public institution therefore it was either the street or the place I worked. I have been punched which resulted in two broken teeth, stabbed with a fork and bitten more times than I could count. Whenever a confrontation took place it always turned physical. We could not retaliate because, even if many of them were larger in size than most of the counselors, if a counselor retaliated, the kid could press charges and the counselor would be investigated by the state. Police officers who dealt with those who went AWOL would repeatedly tell us how they'd much rather be in their position than ours.
Now, don't get me wrong, dear sir, I am in no way trying to one-up you. What I am saying is in this particular instance, those two fuck ups were doing it wrong.

This isn't afternoon crochet class. It's all or nothing. Officers want to go home after their shift too you know.

Fucking LOL... yeah she looked like she was about ready to go gangsta. With them holding both of her arms.
No, what it looked like is they were too lazy to even deal with her and he wanted to take the easy way out.

[SSMAN]

You know, it looks excessive. But sometimes a woman just needs to shut the fuck up and do what she is told. LOL

Don't tell me what ideas I do and don't have, ginger bread. I do especially with special needs people. Before anything was thrown we were trained to escort a person who was showing signs of being combative away from the scene which would then, in most cases calm them down enough to put a restraint device on them or restrain them until they calmed down without making a much larger scene which then could feed the combative person's rage even further and make them even more difficult to subdue. They should've gotten her off the bus before that pussy tried to knock her out. That was far more than a distraction strike with the way he was getting his body into the swing. Stop making excuses for the moronic.
How many straight jacket or blanket restraint orders have you participated in?

You have no idea how to deal with non-complaint people. You give them verbal commands, go hands on, then use the minimum amount of justifiable force. If it takes a distraction strike, then it is justified

LMAO!

It what he do, doe...

I haven't read the the thread, so flame as you will, but it is fairly obvious when a person becomes combative. They called her by name, so they apparrently have dealt with her before, so they know that she's "special needs."

Asking for the veteren's phone cement's it, he fucked up royally, and knew he couldn't bully the veteran out of his phone.

[Big A]

That was a pretty decent sized woman. It looks excessive, but there is no telling what she was about to do, and she certainly wasn't just going with whatever they were telling her. Only thing that makes me think it isn't on the up and up is what happened after with the guy threatening the vet.

Seriously?

Omgg someone said monkey ban him

[03trubluGT]

A little over dramatic wouldn't you say? Two trained deputies cannot handle one female who is mildly resisting? Oh wait, it was a "distraction strike" right?

Those deputies don't look very "trained" and the only thing the female deputy was good for was holding up a uniform.

How many EDPs have you taken into custody?

[03trubluGT]

No problem at all. That person has already been convicted and sentenced and are trying to escape. The problem comes when the police smack someone in the head because they 'aren't listening.'

So you are OK with a person being executed for trying to escape from a non-violent felony like credit card fraud?

[SS Junk]

People need to realize that police can use force against another. I guess no one here would have a problem with a penitentiary guard shooting an escaping prisoner with a rifle?

Be combative, receive combat?

Seems logical to me.

To a dumbfuck, it would. ZOMG LEONIDAS gonna git me naux!111

Yet I saw nothing that required a strong pimp hand to the face. If the tables were reversed, she'd have been tazed into submission, a knee in the back of her neck and probably some good armbars for good measure. Force should go both ways. If a cop pops me and gets away with it, it should be perfectly fine to do the same.

A badge should not grant you special power of force.

lulz

[Forever_frost]

Much more going on than "aren't listening" there.
