I can't believe that this is even an issue up for discussion.
The police officer was conducting an official investigation. He was trying to determine who he was dealing with by obtaining I.D. from the male subject. The subject absolutely refused to cooperate. That is obstruction of justice or something similiar.
The police officer didn't need to check on the female subject first because she was obviously in a somewhat healthy condition by sitting upright in the truck and talking to the male subject.
The female subject was restrained because she might have a knife or a gun concealed somewhere on her body. Would you want some unknown person to run up to you while they are acting irrationally and screaming? There was no excessive force involved. She flew to the ground on her own accord. She's lucky she didn't get sprayed.
If this case went to the Supreme Court in 2000 or thereabouts, it should have been resolved by now. Can someone find the results?
These officers acted very professionally and in no way abused their power. Many of you have the attitude of "Fuck tha police" but you will be the one getting fucked in the county jail if you do not conduct yourself like a proper citizen.
