Did you see those shorts? She was asking for it.
Doesn't exactly camouflage the fact that a lot are.
How are some of you justifying any this? Because teens might act bitchy? Really? It's a fucking kid, was the cop honestly that much of a pussy that he couldn't reprimand her (justly or not) in any other way?
A kid being a loud mouth little shit doesn't give an officer the right to physically fuck them up. You're a moron if you think otherwise.

Not according to some people in real life and on this board. Sadly with these stories we almost never get the full picture. I wish there would be a decent tape for once when someone was filming these things. It is scary how many negative cop stories we have been getting lately though.

The girl in the background with the black top going DAYUM. She seems to have liked it.

I caught my wife cheating on me so I kicked her out of my house. So she called the cops and said I beat her up. I never touched her but no one believed me. I wasn't allowed to go back to my house for six months and had to pay all the bills why she didn't work.
I think that one was posted with sarcasm.
Without context you can't judge what happen and why. If it's because she started trying to fight the cop for whatever reason then he should be able to use force. If she was peacefully going along then it's wrong.
Perfect post sentry.
People victim blame the shit out of people obviously being abused by police all the time. I think its a fear response, its terrifying to me that I know full well the police are GENERALLY out of control, will use excessive violence more often than not, and won't be punished for doing so. Thats my take on it at least. Denying that fact, is making the mental gymnastic that its OK for police to abuse people, if the person is doing anything outside of just standing there silently. Its always "She should have shut the fuck up, He shouldn't have asked what was happening. He was handcuffed on the ground, shouldn't have turned around to say anything.. thats why he was shot!" Meaning that if you do that, you will be abused by a police officer, and its OK if that happens. It does acknowledge the police abuse, but it sides with it.
I know its not ok. Its disgusting to be afraid of police. I'm glad I don't have to justify their actions though, they are generally deplorable.
Shit like this is sad, Because you don't realize that this attitude keeps shifting with more and more police abuse. Its "Stupid Hippies, need a good body slam! Stupid Students, Need a good body slam! Stupid out of work people, Need a good body slam!" There is no line that prevents this becoming the norm, as people will continue to support the abuse as the circle around them is getting smaller and smaller.
I'm glad the NYPD is getting the shit sued out of them for abusing every persons civil rights at OWS.

As I posted earlier (keep reading the thread) little shit refers to her resisting, pushing, walking way from the officer. I see this all the time from teenagers that think they're young enough that no one will do anything. But as already stated there's a lack of context in the video, you just see the bodyslam. I agree though that just being mouthy doesn't deserve a bodyslam.

Lazy police care more about getting things done quick and easy rather than the right way. And they get away with it since they're a gang so it's not surprising. Hopefully he gets into trouble as there's no justification for this.
Okay do that to your own daughter if you believe in corporal punishment but tax paid police who are supposed to be protecting/serving aren't supposed to slam other people's daughters on the ground just because he can't do his job properly. (And it's another thing entirely if there was cause for her arrest to begin with).

I guess the outrage comes from her being a 15 year old girl?
Depending on the context, that was just a normal takedown, to stop/arrest a resisting person. Maybe a bit more air time than you would want due to her low weight (probably got a contusion on the hip?)
Though the video also doesn't show if the cop could have handled the situation differently to avoid a wrangle in the first place.

Well I wasn't expecting that. There's someone that deserves to be bodyslammed. I really wish you did hit her. You have no desire to do anything about it? Get her to confess on a hidden tape?

There have been a lot of cop threads here lately.
And while not every cop is bad, it's like the internet, only the negative people seem to get recognized.

Lately? The stories of cops doing out of line things and corruption date back before I was even born. We just now have more ready access to the stories about it, and more people having access to smart phones, small cameras, etc. is also at an all time high.

What she did didn't warrant a body slam onto the concrete. She could have hit her head on it causing some major damage (and lawsuit for the cop). Seriously, just cuff her, if she resists, put some elbow grease into it, not your full body weight slamming her in the ground.
Cops restrain people for a living, but they clearly don't know what the world "restraint" means.

The issue is not what the 15 year old deserves or doesn't deserve. It's an issue of the cop doing his/her job. The job isn't to punish someone who you find to be a nuisance or 'deserving of a punch', it's to enforce the law. Child or not, deserving or not, what threat could a 15 year old girl have posed to a built male cop that would've urged him to take her down like that?
How about you go find and punch her in the face yourself, the cops don't exist to physically abuse people you consider have it coming due to their behavior.
The point where they do, you better be ready for a slippery slope.

Didn't look that bad to me. She also probably deserved it.

fuck that they're public officers they just don't want to be caught. They should put three cameras on every police car one in the front, back, and in the car with sound. Don't know about you but if I ever see a cop beating someone... my ipod is out instantly....

Suspect is resisting, that's enough for a police officer to use FORCE to apprehend someone.
The real issue is that you don't understand what Reasonable force is to take someone into custody.
Quite the noggin you've got on you, friend.
If she was well dressed and in front of a restaurant parking lot or something, you probably wouldn't be coming to that conclusion. This wreaks of the 'well if she wasn't dressed like that...' victim blaming mindset.
What a ridiculous statement.
The only context we have leading up to the video is that she was (allegedly) fighting someone else. For all we know, she was attacking the cop as he was trying to break up the fight.
Just like the girl in the video, the cop isn't automatically guilty.

That is true. I should rephrase what I said to they are getting caught more often now.
What the hell? Talk about jumping to conclusions.
He obviously just misunderstood. He thought he heard "slam" when he was really told "smang".

You don't know what she did.
It's nearly impossible for me to be outraged without context. She could have been minding her business. She could have been pushed into the officer by someone else. She could have been trying to further escalate a situation with verbal threats. She could have been trying to further escalate a situation by taking a swing at someone nearby. She could have been trying to flee the scene. We don't know. All we know is that she was allegedly involved in an incident at a night club that she shouldn't have been at in the first place.
All I'm saying is, there are perfectly valid reasons to throw a 100 lb girl (or a 150 lb guy) to the ground in the context of an after-hours altercation. I know, I've seen it happen. It's naive to think that just because she's a woman that she's a piece of cake to wrap up.
I don't know, it didn't seem like that bad to me. I'd have to see the video 20 seconds previous to tell if I should be outraged or not. Cop had to get her on the ground somehow right?

Obvious attempt at trying to make the thread about sexism when it was originally just about her age.
Pretty much.

I typically give cops the benefit of the doubt in these situations, so I will assume she was resisting. Does everyone's parents not teach them growing up that if you resist arrest the cops will fuck you up? Ever seen Cops? If it happened for no reason, cop should be fired, but I doubt that at this point.
BULLSHIT. no one knows what led up to this. his life could of been in danger by her or ANYONE. quit acting like you know it all!
