Titled “Honest Cops,” the video shows officers Mark Morelli and Chantelle Wilson subdue a woman who is screaming and flailing around. After a struggle that lasts several minutes, they address the crowd gathered around the police cruiser in a polite and professional manner, explaining what had just happened and apologizing for the scene.

“Unfortunately, she decided to try to resist arrest … and while it may look and appear to be something much worse than it is, it is only because she is resisting so violently and flailing around on the ground,” Morelli said. “I’m doing my best not to hurt that girl.”

Even when the man filming the incident questioned the officers about their use of force, Morelli remained calm and even apologetic.

“While it may appear to be very rough to you — and I apologize for you having to see that — but I have the lawful authority to arrest her and I am obligated to arrest her.”
