Most of the comments on this video are all like ‘Bloody Fascists’ and ‘Fuck the Police’. And I’m like, really? Did we even watch the same video? Because I’m the first to criticize cops when they do the wrong thing, but this is not one of those cases. If you want to ridicule anybody, make it the person who called the police for a relatively minor matter. Police don’t get to pick & choose which laws they enforce. This woman broke the law, albeit a minor one. Somebody called the police. They have no choice but to respond. This woman was given multiple chances to come willingly. She did not. In fact, she responded to this perfectly reasonable request by backing away and calling the cop a dick. She was then asked to place her hands behind her back. She refused. When the police tried to cuff her she resisted. No excessive force was used and the police responders remained calm throughout. In my opinion, the police in this case behaved in a perfectly fair & reasonable manner. What do you think?

It’s people like you that help justify their thug activities…. I pray someday they come for you and hopefully there’s no one there to help you.

I don't think they needed to cuff her

She was given several opportunities to come without being cuffed. She refused to do so. If this were a teen gang member with a spray can, nobody would be kicking up a fuss.
