Anyone else wondering why that cop is struggling so hard to restrain that woman?

Pretty embarrassing if you ask me.

If you intervene, you get sued, fired or charged.

The safest bet is simply to film. If you are lucky, you can sell your video and profit.

When a police officer gives you an order your expected to obey it no matter how stupid YOU feel the situation is you do not talk back and than shove the officer. People seem to forget she did and learned a valuable lesson.

yeah...if an officer is arresting someone you simply cannot intervene...and she got exactly what was coming to her for doing so.

the rest of the 2 minutes of the guy being unable to cuff the other girl is just embarrassing though.

I think he could have ripped her arms out of their sockets. He showed a lot of restraint.

Probably because she was a teenage girl and he didn't want to hurt her.

When she resisted being cuffed, he could have slammed her on the hood of the car and forced her arms back. Instead he worked her arms back.

If she had been a guy, the cop would have jammed his can of pepper spray up the guys a$$$ and pressed the button for 20 seconds.

The idiots with their cameras should have told her to cooperate.

He was pretty careful.

Probably because he was trying to do it without hurting her.

A friend of mine became a cop a few years ago and I attempted to "resist arrest" just to see how long I would last. I may have lasted about 3-5 seconds before I thought my arm was going to break, so I have to think the officer was just restraining himself.

I'm so impressed he didn't escalate the situation. That could have gotten much worse, but he seemed to handle it very well. I probably would have dropped an elbow and caused a riot.

I don't like to nitpick, but where was his backup? That's a scary situation with everyone crowding around like that.

Exactly my thinking.

I was on a ride along last weekend with a cop in Calgary and at one point a call came out over the radio from another officer that he was at a domestic dispute in a yard where a bunch of people kept showing up and crowding around. Once we heard that we were booking it, lights and sirens, to his location. Seems like something they take seriously.

The clip is just under 3 minutes. Even driving lights and sirens is going to take time.
