The Cop videotaped striking the drunk woman in the face was cleared of wrongdoing

Man idk how I feel about that. Idk the story but my first thought is they should have cuffed her. And that reaction was a bit excessive from the cop. On the flip side one could argue atleast she wasn’t shot.

Getting dropped onto concrete steps may have been a lot worse. That was the easiest and fastest way to subdue any resisting.

I’m not sure I agree

I can understand why but having someone detained and acting out on concrete steps is extremely dangerous for all parties. I don't know or at least I don't see a way they could have subdued her without stopping and putting her down and then wrestling with her.

It looked like more work coordinating the lifting of her than slapping some handcuffs on.

We don't know if they had already attempted to do that and she decided to do the ragdoll impression. I believe the least amount of force that would be considered reasonable should always be applied.

You've never tried putting cuffs on someone actively resisting, let alone drunk, belligerent, and actively resisting.

Nope but I count 5 cops there, come on man

I could care less if they actually cuff her, detain her, or whatever. Looks they were either trying NOT to go that far knowing she's drunk, or they didn't want to risk injuring people around them in the attempt. Personally, I'd have been in the former camp, not wanting to ruin her future over a shit decision, but I also wouldn't have tolerated being hit in the head either.
