So after thinking about this for a bit. It was clear the woman was not listening, was resisting arrest, and endangering herself.
The officer had to deal with all three of these, especially the later.
I feel bad for officers now, between the 'bad apple' officers, the shady lawyers, and the 'community organizers', every time they are forced into a position like this, they have to choose what is most common place and which ever is most safe/sterile/mechanical.
What if he went to force her into cuffs and his arm brushed against her chest? Would be he labeled as a granny molesting pervert? Granny already lied about the facts of the situation to the news, what if there were real facts, like a misplaced hand?
