I'm with KD on this. If anyone is trying to resist arrest, and starts pushing a cop back, the cops have the right to use force.

oh you silly goose. no one is trying to argue that traffic safety laws are unjust or should be broken and it is a pretty cro-magnon argument tactic to get all weaselly like that KD.

She did deserve to get punched, and I hate cops and white people (believe it or not, I'm saying that with total seriousness and honesty).

It blows my mind how many people think yelling and arguing with cops over traffic incidents is a sane thing to do.

With all the other crime issues in Seattle, it's nice to know that cop was focusing on the real threat of JAYWALKERS and their vicious friends.

It's dumbfounding to me just how ignorant the people who run this country truly are.

I agree with this, but not because I believe it's right. There's not much we can do when faced with the long arm of the law, but cops are not always in the right. Sometimes they need to be put in line.
Some friends and I were once "detained" by some police officers while walking to a party and carrying some beer. A few people were under age, so they stopped us and made us line up while they called their superior. Finally the guy arrived and asked what the problem was. When they told him, he said "The only problem I have is that they're under age." When we informed him that some of us were over 21 (in fact, most of us were), he exclaimed. "Oh. Then what's the fucking problem? At least they're walking and not driving." He basically said that as long as the people over 21 carried the alcohol, he didn't care. He fucking put those other two assholes in their place.

Hello there
Of course cops aren't always right, no one is, not even the immortal Dodens no matter how many times cookiecutter proclaims it.
Hold the phone...you were going to a party with underage people carrying booze and you think the cops that stopped you are assholes for that? waaaaat

Yes, because under age drinking in TAMPA is the least of their fucking worries. Under age drinking by 18-20 year olds, especially if no one is even driving, is no big fucking deal, and you have your head on backwards if you think so.
The point is, they wasted their superior's time when they all could have been doing more important fucking things. They just wanted to try and bust some kids for providing alcohol to "under age" drinkers (who were no younger than 18 to begin with). It's a fucking joke.

Hello there
Why don't you try looking at the situation from their perspective instead of your own. Maybe then you'd understand why those cops did what they did. That's all I'm saying man. My personal beliefs are irrelevant tbh.

I'm looking at it from an objective viewpoint and coming to the conclusion that it was a waste of not only our time, but their time too. Explain to me why you think, from their perspective, some college kids walking to a party with a couple eighteen packs would pose an imminent threat.

Despite a heavy police presence outside the Staples Centre in Los Angeles, violence still broke out after the Lakers Game 7 win against the Boston Celtics on Thursday night.
According to media reports, at least a dozen people were arrested, cars were damaged and firefighters had to put out a few fires, but there was no loss of life.
From the Los Angeles Times:
In all, there were multiple injuries but no loss of life, officials said. One police officer suffered a broken nose. As night wore on, fire crews responded to many rubbish fires and some vehicle fires, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The LAPD declared an unlawful assembly moments after the game ended.
Hundreds of officers in patrol cars, on foot and on horseback moved in to clear streets and break up the crowds. At least 12 people were arrested for crimes including public drunkenness, vandalism and inciting a riot. One person was arrested for assault on a police officer, authorities said.
Local city blog LAist has a photo gallery of police trying to quell rioters. Sadly, sports-related riots is nothing new for L.A. Riots also broke out in 2009 after the Lakers beat the Orlando Magic in the NBA championship.
Last night’s violence hasn’t changed plans for a parade to celebrate the Lakers’ 16th NBA title. The parade is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. PT, Monday, June 21st and will start at the Staples Center.
From the Lakers website:
Beginning at approximately 11 a.m. (PDT), Lakers players and their families will board the customized float at STAPLES Center, and begin winding their way down South Figueroa Street toward the USC campus before turning east on Jefferson Boulevard at the Galen Center to complete the parade. A convoy of double-decker, open-air buses and other attending vehicles will carry Lakers coaches and staff, members of the Buss family ownership group, team officials, and the Laker Girls to the conclusion of the two-mile route.
Officials are estimating that anywhere from 500,000 to two million fans will line the streets for the parade.
I guess fans don't learn from past events, like the Bulls, Red Sox, Broncos, Belgian, Habs, and tons of futball/soccer riots.

Cops Perspective:
Cop 1: You want to go check out those gunshots in the shitty part of town?
Cop2: Not yet man, give it an hour or two for the shooters to clear out. That shit is dangerous. Let's go bother those teenagers. Put on your tough face.
I don't get it. Is this something about how if the military replaced the police force, the Army would be the traffic cops?
