Ok, anybody that is speaking negatively about these cops did not watch the video. The old man was completely being a dick and not being cooporative. The cops were called to the scene because somebody reported a domestic fight, so asking for identification is completely called for. As far as the 17 year old girl, well I don't care who you are, you cannot try to freak out and run towards an officer who is arresting somebody. The officer by the car held the door and was preventing her from complicating the arrest. Throwing her on the ground was probably unnecessary but she needed to be subdued due to the fact she was freaking out yelling and trying to open the door when the cop obviously was telling her not to.
My $.02 is that I hope this disrespectful man (who most likely hit that girl anyhow based on the story) has to pay the fines and I hope the girl learned a lesson that it is a lot better to stay calm and respect authority than to throw a tantrum.
