I'm a huge supporter of BLM; I also happen to be black. I can not see how anyone who watched the video of this incident can come away with thinking that the cop was wrong in this instance. This ain't the hill we want to die on. The scofflaw child ran, threatened the woman who called the cops on her, ran from the cops, resisted arrest after she'd been caught, and then called the cop a "weak bitch" after the strikes to keep her in the car. And was then vulgar through the ENTIRE encounter.

I'm glad they got her off the streets; hopefully this intervention will set her on a better path, but I'm doubtful. A girl that shows this kind disrespect to her community running the streets like this is well on her way to becoming an actual menace. And it is beyond disappointing to see the parents she ran away from pretending that they didn't fail their daughter and putting the whole thing off on the police. When you don't handle your children, someone else will. She's LUCKY it was the police who found her and not some other community menace.

Both cops showed an EXTRAORDINARY amount of restraint, care, and professionalism when met with just the opposite. I almost never praise police, but they handled this expertly. We need to hold police accountable when they do the wrong thing in our name. This ain't it, folks. Find another hill to die on.
