Poor little girl had to watch her mom make a fool of herself to the point that someone called Law Enforcement on her before this happened.
No doubt. Just a tough thing for a 6 year old to see happen to her mom. Hopefully mom can get her act together.
You applaud a cop for knocking a mother unconscious in front of her six year old daughter? WTF is wrong with you?http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/texas-knocks-dwi-suspect-pavement-takedown-article-1.2195679
Maybe don't drive drunk with your little kid in the car and this wouldn't happen
On the plus side, if you kill somebody under dubious circumstances you probably can expect extra paid vacation days.

I wish you and every single cop in this country could get one thing through the collective head:
Punishing suspects is not the role of the police. That is the role of the courts. Police are only charged with stopping crimes, apprehending suspects, and putting them into the criminal justice system. They are not intended to NOR ALLOWED BY LAW to enact punishment on suspects.
There is a simple reason for this and it is that an arrest does not equal guilt. This is the other thing that people can't seem to get through their heads. So enacting punishment at the time of the arrest is illegal for a VERY GOOD REASON and that is that people, in our country, according to our justice system, are INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY IN A COURT OF LAW.
Anyone who "applauds" this type of action is saying they do not believe in the maxim of innocent until proven guilty.

This woman was not resisting. She was just standing there.
Just another jagoff cop getting off on committing legally-sanctioned violence against a mere mundane.
Bingo... Hopefully child protective services step in here.Always funny that people are more outraged over a cop subduing a suspect than a drunk driving around with her 6 year old kid in the car.

Leave the fishing to the pros.

You want some old overalls and a floppy hat to go with that straw man?Always funny that people are more outraged over a cop subduing a suspect than a drunk driving around with her 6 year old kid in the car.
Yes. I think what he did was pretty standard way of getting handcuffs onto someone who is resisting arrest. If she hadn't hit her head and went unconscious nobody would be making anything out of it. I dont believe it was the cops intention to knock her out. But its the risk you take if you're going to resist arrest because you end up on the ground if the cop cant get the cuffs on you normally.Have you watched the video?

You don't get it. If someone is resisting, you must inform them that they are going to get taken down. If they decline, you must then let them keep resisting until they wear themselves out. Only then can you ask them again if it's ok to arrest them. If they say no, you continue to wait. If they agree, you must pick them up, and gently place them on the ground. That ground must be soft and cannot contain any material that could leave a mark. Best to have a fellow officer lay down a towel or something first.Yes.

I don't pay the drunk. I don't expect her to adhere to certain standards. She is obviously a terrible mother and possibly a criminal (if she was indeed driving drunk). So I expect her to be stupid, irresponsible, and possibly belligerent.
I have expectations for the police that have a level of authority that no one else has. I hold them to a higher standard in terms of the behavior I expect. If they can not handle the legal requirements of the job they should find another line of work.
For people that either embrace illegal behavior by the police, or justify by the character of the people that they beat and kill, you are actively contributing to an untenable situation where the hostility and distrust between police and citizens will only increase.
As we know from Iraq and other occupations, units that actively engage with the community they police/patrol see fewer casualties and lower level of violence between the two groups.
Look at his size and hers. If he can't get the cuffs on her without throwing her on the pavement like he did (with obvious emotion) he should be working a desk.

It's pretty much the SOP for taking in criminals who are resisting. Not sure what you don't get.
Fair enough. Applauding may be over the top. He did his job, though. He took a criminal of the streets and possibly saved a little girl's life, along with many other potential victims' lives. I applaud him for that.Probably more driven by the fact that the OP 'applauds' the cop.

I'm not gonna presume whether the cop went over the top on that one, but that's a long way from me applauding him. And yes, the mom is still a sad, pathetic mess no matter what I think of the cop's actions.
Choosing to discuss the cop doesn't mean you don't care about the mom's behavior.
I dont think the video on its own can prove how much she was resisting. However, I'm going to side with the cop over the drunk driving PoS here because if his intention was to cause harm or punishment, then why not punch her or do something other than the usual, standard procedure for taking someone down when resisting.Look at his size and hers. If he can't get the cuffs on her without throwing her on the pavement like he did (with obvious emotion) he should be working a desk.
