And what pray tell was he supposed to do? I'm just curious, because its clear that she wasn't listening anyways, it was clear that this woman had no respect for the police, first in basically telling him to f-off after being summoned. Second when her and her friends decided to stupidly fight the police.
If they really wanted to talk on a charge, they could have charged the little darling with attempting to incite a riot.

Frankly that probably doesn't reach into the situation. You realize that in the last 4 years there were 65 people killed in that area of Seattle due to Jay Walking, so the police and the civil authorities aren't seeing it as a measly Jay Walking ticket.
And to turn it around, she jay walked, she was busted, nothing would have happened if she had acted like a civilized human being when she was called over by the cop. Instead she acted like a moron, she and her friend physically attacked a police officer, and I'm supposed to be in any way sympathetic.
I guess some people are raised differently to understand that in real life, you don't put your hands on a cop.
In real life acting like a moron can have much worse consequences then a black eye.
Personally, my only reaction is F the girl and F her friend, they deserved what they get, and hopefully the courts give them proper punishment, and for the one girl takes a look at her past actions including a car theft charge. She obviously does not fit into society in her current state and needs some help or a good kick in the ass.
