This happened back in the late 80s

At that time the police were allowed to carry whatever they wanted.

I should have stated that.

I hope some of you in here are kidding. I'm guessing maybe not. I'll side with Terry Ray here.

I'm not a cop and have no one in law enforcement in my family. It's easy to pick on cops. But it's funny. I'm a couple of weeks away from 63 and have had more than my share of encounters with cops. I've never assaulted one or pushed or shoved a cop. And none of them have ever assaulted, pushed or shoved me either.

Being a cop is not an easy job. You basically spend your day dealing with aholes. It may tend to give you a rather negative outlook.

Should this guy maybe have handled the situation differently - probably. But I have a strong feeling that if any of us was in the spot, we wouldn't have just stood there. We probably would have thrown a better haymaker than that one though. It looks like about half way through the punch he realizes it was the wrong thing to do.

Cops really deal with the worst cases of our society everyday. Seldom do they have a chance to help people in need, because they are too busy dealing with the assholes of the world. Its a terrible job if you ask me.

I think I told this before but I was working at a company and we had a homeless lady fall down a bank and get her leg stuck under a fence. We tried to help her but the fence dug in and was hurting her.

The young cop arrived. He saw her predicament and went on the other side of the embackment that was full of garbage, beer bottles, and the homeless lady. The lady was so dirty and maybe even drunk. She was screaming alot too.

He got down to her and held her
so she was in the least amount of pain until the paramedics got there. Another cop came and they cut the fence and got her out.

I got the cops name and badge number and wrote a letter to the Atlanta Police Chief telling this story. The police chief wrote me back and thanked me. He said too often people dont take the time to recognized the difficult job the officers have to do.

I tell you what. If I were to have a problem please send me that cop to help me. Or one with his attitude. If he went to that extent to help this lady , I think he is the kind of cop I want helping me and my family in a time of need.

I'm sure it could have been handle better, but I think for this to be a big issue is ridiculous.
I'm really amazed though at all of the hate being spewed about police. They have a tough job. I'm curious how much you guys would hate a cop if they were saving the life of someone you love. hopefully you haters never need one.

I lean to support for cop.

You can't strike a police officer. People can't get away with that shit.

Jack I agree. But I have to believe our cops are getting better training. If not they should. For one with all those folks there that can cause him trouble. He should have waited for back up. I can see this costing him time off money. Because race card is coming for sure.

at the start of the video, when she gets in the cops face the first time, watch the dude grab her arm and try to pull her back.

he knows she's being a dumb cunt and is trying to save her.

Where it is real F ing COLD
Side with the cop.. Those chicks had no business putting their hands on him. He maybe an asshole for the jaywalking tix though but still. Plus he doesn't know their age. There are some women who go around hitting guys because they know they can get away with it. Been hit by a few chicks in my life but always able to subdue them without hitting back but I tell ya I wanted to.

Saving the city from jaywalkers
By Danny Westneat

Mark Capps is new to town. So he wasn't aware of the priority we place on fighting crime around here.

He is now. The 42-year-old ad-agency director learned when he stepped into the crosswalk at Fifth and Pike downtown, just as the "Don't Walk" hand started to flash. He made it across the street before the stoplight turned red. But that level of compliance doesn't cut it around here. We follow laws to the letter. A cop slapped Capps with a $46 jaywalking ticket.

"I couldn't believe it," Capps says. "You can't cross the street here, in the crosswalk, even if you still have the light?"

Apparently not. It's right there in code 11.50.280: "pedestrians facing a steady or flashing 'Don't Walk' word legend or hand symbol shall not enter the roadway ... ."

Capps says he was the victim of a "jaywalking sting." Two cops stood at either end of the crosswalk. He watched as eight people were fined in five minutes, most for obliviously walking against the flashing hand.

It turns out Capps is part of a trend. The jaywalk jackboots ? traffic cops who once ticketed Seattle walkers into a cowering, and often pointless, obedience ? are back.

Police are on track to write 2,600 jaywalking tickets this year, the most in nearly two decades. It's up 40 percent over last year and triple the number in the early '90s.

That was back when police realized the city's infamous zero-tolerance policy for jaywalkers didn't do much other than irritate the hell out of people. There were years in the '70s and '80s when police wrote 8,000 jaywalking tickets ? one for every 70 residents, the most zealous enforcement rate in the country. Yet it wasn't making walkers any safer.

Police insist they have not reactivated the jaywalk jackboots. All the tickets this year are a "collateral result" of the city's campaign for pedestrian safety, which is supposed to focus on nabbing bad drivers.

"Officers are out there to make sure drivers go through intersections properly," said Debra Brown of the Seattle police. "But they will write tickets if pedestrians break any laws."




She said pedestrians shouldn't enter a crosswalk when the "Don't Walk" light is flashing because then cars never get a chance to turn, in some places causing huge traffic tie-ups.

"We hear from drivers that you can't make a right turn downtown because of so many jaywalkers," Brown said.

Sigh. Other cities don't obsess over errant walkers, and function fine. And didn't I just hear police leaders saying that Seattle is a big city now, so they need more officers? You know, for fighting actual crime?

Like, say, the drug market two blocks from where Capps got stung. One afternoon, in an alley near Third and Pike, I watched as two men sat in an idling Oldsmobile and passed packets to walk-up customers.

No cops in sight. But a security guy rode up on a bike, sending the Olds rumbling slowly down the alley. A few minutes later, it came around the block and pulled back into the alley, where the whole enterprise started up again.

Seems the drug dealers are having no trouble making right turns downtown.
