My point, thank you. She was on foot. She was handcuffed. She wasn't driving.

What if he had let her run?
Was she the Unabomber? Did they think that she was endangering someones life by running?
I submit that any speeding motorist constituted more danger to the general public than this handcuffed teenaged girl.
Given what she was arrested for, I DO feel a little safer knowing that she is not behind the wheel of an oncoming vehicle.
MOTF!

If you think she was a danger to anyone in that video, you must be scared most of your waking hours.

Exactly...funny how we forget all the good deeds millions of police officers do on a daily basis. We can't let the judgement from 1 police officer deter the fact we have lots of other good judgmental officers.
BTW, your mental immensity, she was being taken (in handcuffs) out of the substation, by the cop.
She was on foot, how long do you think that would have lasted?

He did not have complete control of the situation. How is it that she was able to run?
Looks like the cops would have been able to catch a drug addled, handcuffed suspect that was on foot, without resorting to electrocution, but no....
