None of that sounds like my average friday afternoon. I don't really know whether our parenting should be judged by our worst day - but that would be a job for dcf...and they might have handled things differently. So, let's just stick to things that might be relevant to cops?
Daughter accuses the mother of stabbing the father.
Mother says the father always has his hands on the daughter.
Mom says the father had her in a headlock and that the blood was hers, not the fathers, -
So, we show up and a plump nine year old is marching down the street pursuant to some altercation referred to above.
Do we
A, shoot the nearest passerby.
B, ram our patrol car into a telephone pole, drunk
or
c, mace the kid
Personally, I think that a would be more in character, b would be the most explicable, and c is just wondering whether we'd get away with it.
The cops in the video say they didn't want her to get hypothermia which is apparently why they weren't more patient with her, but I think the male officer should have done a better job trying to drag her in from behind. The pepper spray was out of line.
