Teenager slapped by Policeman
Discussion
The result I imagine is going to be a very long and drawn out investigation into what has happened....

I guess most of those ranting and complaining about the officer saying he shouldn't have hit her and he should lose his job have never tried to restrain an angry hyped up teenager who doesn't want to be restrained!

His actions seemed perfectly reasonable to me...http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6080583/Co...

The policewoman holds the policeman's arm down to stop him doing it again.
That tells me that she thought the action was inappropriate for the situation and he'd lost control and gone into red mist, and might end up hurting the girl seriously. He made her job harder because not only did she need to try control the girl, she also needed to control her partner.
It's not an easy job at all, but they're trained to deal with those situations without resorting to striking someone in the face.

Seems perfectly reasonable to me, won't do her any harm and will aid in getting her under control and stop her getting hold of a weapon (the taser). It's not like it was a heavy punch trying to knock her out or anything, frankly if someone bit me or scratched my face I wouldn't be that restrained.
There seems to be a growing majority of yoof who through crap parenting have never been told no or taught that some behaviour simply won't be accepted. An encounter with the police like this where they suddenly discover they can't always have their way seems to make them totally lose their s
t.

'Red mist' rarely expresses itself as one action, so that doesn't seem the case to me. That tells me that she thought the action was inappropriate for the situation and he'd lost control and gone into red mist, and might end up hurting the girl seriously. He made her job harder because not only did she need to try control the girl, she also needed to control her partner.

They're trained to use whatever force they can justify as reasonable in the circumstances.
Had they been without the crowd who were getting involved / close by, then it'd have been a more viable option to take her to the floor. That helps control, but increases risk (to the police) as it places them in a vulnerable position. Trying to arrest someone stood up who is resisting is messy.
Perhaps release and a face full of pepper spray for her and (at least) the woman obstructing / interfering would have been an option.

Really? It looks like she is creating a barrier between societies great unwashed and the girl to me.

Do you think the police might be trained to strike and attack people? Self defence, pre-emptive strikes etc etc.
This cretin deserves more than a slap to be honest

What situations ?Sometimes a punch (or indeed repeated punches - and kicks - and whatever else may be necessary in the circumstances) is lawful.
Or do you think that nobody resists much and the cops should be able to deal with everyone simply by taking hold of their arm(s) and restraining them ?

Lousy internet here so I haven't seen the video yet so won't comment on it.However, do you really think pre-emptive strike is an acceptable procedure? Jesus wept.
why do people take time to video these things but not to help?
