Here are my observations..
1. Female passenger was annoying :shrug:
2. Driver should have just gotten out
3. While the Officers may have shown great restraint....I think they showed too much.
If I have to reach into your car to pull you out and you're still resisting, you're gonna come out of that car. We get this with drunks that we find passed out behind the wheel. But they usually get the death grip on the steering wheel when we try to remove them. Those are the ones that are hard to get out...but they still come out.
This dude looked like he was just sitting...ask him to exit the car. (he refuses) Tell him to exit the car (he refuses), MAKE him exit the car. He can refuse all he wants, he's still gonna come out. If I have my hands on you I'm not gonna pussy foot around and play some tug of war game with you.
What's this "we just want to talk to you" bullshit. He's obstructing at this point, he's resisting at that point. We're not talking anymore. You're ass is under arrest. and "did you just bite me?" **** that! It seemed like these officers were more worried about that stupid camera and how someone might perceive them than doing their jobs.
Sorry but what the **** were those officers thinking. :nonono: A taser or pepper spray wouldn't necessarily be needed for this either. Just get him the **** out of the car! :nonono: Shit like this makes me sick to my stomach.
Interesting that you wouldn't have tased/sprayed them.
Would it make sense to drag the women out of the car so that both of the leos could get in the car and force the guy out? Or do you stick with getting the guy out once you start trying?
