Police Brutally Beat 15-Year-Old Girl
Written by: Tom Sawyer
Sometimes officers must use force to calm a situation and/or make it home safely. Sure, there are some bad police officers out there, but some of the good ones do questionable things for their own protection. Some police officers end up with a brutality case because they go overboard to protect themselves and, like animals who’ve tasted blood, continue down the wrong path.
In the infamous words of Rodney King, “Can we all get along?”
I think many of us law-abiding citizens can understand – at least a little – when a police officer must “beat” a criminal to the punch when their life is at risk. However, a low-flying shoe from a 15-year-old girl in a controlled environment is hardly something to get all riled up about.
The video below does not include audio, but the girl allegedly called the officers “Fat Pigs” as she flung her shoes at them. For that, she got man-handled pretty good.
Necessary Force? The reaction should be the force necessary to counteract the action. Who has the upper hand when it is two police officers against one young girl? Remember, she was already in police custody so she should have been checked for weapons. Check it out for yourself (if you haven’t seen it).
What do you think? Does it look like the reaction fit the action?

There is absolutely no excuse for this! Nothing the officer says would justify him beating a 15-year-old girl. And he had the nerve to plead not guilty! WTH!

I am totally against police brutality. But, everyone knows (or should know) that when the officers tell you to do something…you shut up and do it. And, you better not give them any lip or attitude! Either of the two WILL result in an @ss Kicking. Flippant behavior will not be tolerated at all. If the officers allow one person to get away with the slightest thing, everyone in the jail will run them over. So, officers nip it in the bud right away!
