babylon sends out confusing messages...

you always hear dem deh pan..."never under any circumstances should a woman be hit"..

then one gets punched in the face...i hear a lot of different people justifying it...

aye sah;

pretty dumb teenagers...if they were truly gangsta they would know not to get physical with a cop over jaywalking...

i bet they know now that police will resort to violence for the slightest thing...
they must have not seen the video of the cop beating down a little girl

That cop did not look very well trained in terms of how to restrain someone.

Re: Policeman Punched 17 y-o Jaywalking Teen

having only watched the video, my thoughts were, "She lucky him neva shot har inna har r---s"

While she a wan black smaddy and him white, and trust mi, fimi racial prejudice radar well tuned, both girls passed the line assaulting a police officer. What I saw on the video was waaay pass Jaywalking. If I was the cop, I'd probally had shoot dem inna dem ra--ss
Had they tried that with a Jamaican police.. a dont think anyone here doubt that both girls would have been corspes...
News would have read <span style="font-weight: bold">&quot;Dudus Sympathizers Attack police. Shot dead. Weapons found.&quot; </span>
It would the interested to see the comments from those who sympatise with the girls who where assaulting the police if this all took place in Jamaica, the girls were from Tivoli Gdns...and the police was a black cop from the JCF..&quot;

Dat still nuh mek it. Nuff people out a road have criminal past and still nuh gwaan wassy wid babylon...it's completely irrelevant to the story. Anuh like seh im did know seh dem did have record areddi and decide fi stop dem. Nah sah.

His actions are now justifiable because the girls dem have a criminal record, so they by default warranted his actions.

Dem wrong still yes (di two picknee dem), but from the article say the junction always have siitin a gwaan wid jawaylking and escalating jaywalking stops to fights and ray ray ray, wha mek dem nuh change di rules dem at that particular junction? Crossing guard, anyone? Increased police presence? Mi nuh know a wha do some people eh...

Cntry – Mi no read odda comments yet but mi had to stap right yah so an shake yuh hand.

I am not advocating police brutality against anyone black or white but before I saw the punch I was livid at the disrespect those females were showing law enforcement. Maybe closed fist punch was inappropriate but as dere is gad mi dey ina mi chair wan gi har wan big lick myself.

What mi find even more interesting is that Cop saw about 100 Cell phones a videotape im an dat neva phase im ..I think is emotion just took over ..sorta like how dare yuh come grab mi when mi a try do an arrest. Shi outta arda!

Re: Policeman Punched 17 y-o Jaywalking Teen

I think the Cop showed restraint in trying to cuff the young girl.. I thought at one point he was going to take her down the way he turned her.. but I guess he gave it second thought because so many people were around..

My uncle said.. &quot;from two times me tried to cuff her and she reject me.. she woodda kiss conkreet..

I agree with whomever said that some kids today have no respect for Adults, whether in uniform or out..

If she was mine usee.. I would have gotten a charge..

Two of my friends are police officers and they tell me stories all the time of abuse dem get on the beat seka people feel empowered to act like a-hole cause someone has a cellphone camera and dem tink by being insolent dem can get a Youtube moment

Wan day mi a leave work an buck up pan traffic. When mi reach a di scene wey cause di traffic mi si wan yute face down ina di asphalt ..officers kneeling ina him back and the car windows shatterd. Mi neva know what a gwaan ..den wan a Cop fren saw my vehicle and call mi sey mi jus pass im. When mi ask im what is going on ..im sey di bway teif fi cyar an dem dey dey fi a bout 20 minutes a ask di bway fi come outta di cyar an im jus siddung dey naah move. Dem loose patience an buss out di cyar window an drag im @ss out.

When dem get him a fight im a look wid 8 officers wid gun drawn. Now you tell me?? How yuh fi a look fight wid police ina dat situation when wan dem coulda easily clap yuh behine wid a bullet. Mi did a feel sarry fi si im face down and officers a kneel dung pan im but afta dat account of what happened I felt differently. Some a dem too outta arda man.

Re: Policeman Punched 17 y-o Jaywalking Teen

For me there is no justification for the police officer to punch the teenager. Arrest her for interfering with a peace officer. The police officer displayed a gross lack in control. They need to put him behind a desk and not be on the road with gun and baton. It could have been worse.

This is what gets me. Why is the fact that both of these girls have criminal records relevant? Seattle has been under heat for it's police practices and excessive force, so mentioning these girls both having police records is supposed to somehow justify the officer's actions.

I do believe that the girls should have followed the orders and not fought against the police, simply because police always have the upper-hand.

The girls were out of order, not sure how else the officer could have better handled this situation... </div></div>I don't like to see a young woman struck like this, I don't like to see a BLACK teenager punched by a White cop, I don't like the reaction...with that being said, and just coming off a career of dealing with kids like this, and being disrespected like this and worse, I also feel that today's youth should learn to respect SOMETHING, if not themselves. The place for these young girls to argue their jaywalking case was NOT in the streets, but the courtroom. Everything in our society has its proper place for redress of grievances, if we could only learn those places and apply them, this world would be a better and more civil place. Their behavior was out of line.
