Let's get real folks. It was only a jaywalking violation! I understand the officer had tried to diffuse the situation somewhat, but it should not have gotten to the point it was at in the first place. A different violation where the perps could perhaps endanger him or others, is a different story. Then this kind of force may be justified to diffuse matters from becoming worse. I have the utmost respect for our law officers and they should be treated with respect as anyone else. This officer, in my opinion did not use proper judgement at the very beginning of this which is not on the tape. What I am saying is, it did not have to get to the point of everyone struggling over a damn jaywalk.......PERIOD!
Jaywalking can be very annoyed when you are driving a car, especially in the ghetto area (Oakland, CA). They walk in a group of 2-5 in the middle of the street and ignore the coming cars. And they look at you and give you the feeling " go ahead and hit me".
Bottom line, these girls deserve it.
