The Screen Cap probably makes it look worse, but do you think that was the appropriate way to 'Restrain' her? (Poll
Question)

I breezed through the video and it didn't look too bad. The bigger concern was the overkill reaction of the cop towards the woman in the yellow vest at 2:40.

Just looking at the pose, it certainly seems less awful than most restraints. I can understand it looking inappropriate but if you need to restrain somebody and pretty much every restraint is banned, what are you going to do? This is clearly a non-harmful restraint, and was likely applied because of how she wound up on the ground.

Your troll gimmick for polls is still so fucking annoying.

Depends entirely how much the cop weighs. Compression asphyxia is a thing, after all.

He likely snuck in a few small humps subtly when people were paying less attention

Voted Nah by accident, meant Yeah. Video doesn't show how he ended up in that position (might have been a struggle and fell on top of her), but he was just holding her down, he clearly wasn't "grinding" or anything. If it was a female cop and male suspect, no one would give a shit about this. Hell, if instead of restraining her, he just tazered her repeatedly until she fell limp, no one would be talking about it, either.

And yes, you're like a budget brand Duckbear.

He's placing his weight on his knees, not her stomach. While there's some weight on her body -- and you're restraining somebody on the ground there will be weight on their body -- the bulk of that weight is elsewhere.

That and he looks like he's maybe a buck-sixty soaking wet. That's one tiny officer.

I'm definitely leaning towards that direction at this point.

Could be because TC either purposefully or dullardly creates his polls in the most idiotic way possible.

People are nuts. Its never good enough. He's not trying to harm her. Just pinning her until she calms the fuck down.

He coulda tazed her ass and carried on with his day but hes either a good guy or just aware how bad that would make him look with the current hatred for cops.

why did he need to intervene at all if she wasnt harming anyone or herself? If someone is already on the ground there is no need to pin or grapple them

Was that the case? Could be worried about her hurting herself.

I would be curious to know what restraints are permitted and under what circumstances for those cops and the logic behind it.

Regular handcuffs probably are but if she was being mental and flailing cuffs could cause minor cuts and bruising

I'm no fan of cops, in general, but I'm sick of people trying to use the "I can't breathe" mantra now as a way of getting away with whatever bullshit they were up to when they, in fact, can breathe just fine

That is what is described in the article

She was having a crisis but there wasnt any cause for an arrest to take place and she wasnt trying to harm anyone. Ideally coos would be able to just make sure that the scene is stable but wait for officials trained in crisis management to show up. Cops are terrible at situations like this.

That is true of any person at any time. Doesnt give a cop the right to harass or assault you.

Have you even dealt with people like that? They are like they dont even know what they are doing. Could fae more easily hurt themself compared to someone currently of stable mind
