Yeah...I'm not looking forward to going out solo surrounded by drunk miners. I'll need to find the crowd with lids to befriend.

I deal with the Stillwater boys all the time. For the most part, they're really good guys. Just get a tune on that ATV of yours because old Bwana will be up your way. On a side note, the Boulder also has some sweet fishing. There's some hawg's in that river.

I've been in that situation before, and while I would never dream of putting my hands on a woman.. If I were in that situation again, I would punch that bitch right in the ****ing face as many times as it took to get her under control.

I think a lot of times, police go overboard, and instead of trying to defuse a situation they only add fuel to the fire by being assholes. I'm not sure if that was the case or not, but the woman threw a punch at him after he tried to grab her. She deserved what she got.

Shoot her in her interfering face.

I have a couple buddies that work the mine, but they all hang in Blgs.

May have to get another ATV. Mine started knocking and smoking. I'm waiting to see what the mechanic says.

She threw the punch after she got hit first.

What the hell did you do to it, Hot Rod? :eek:

It looked pretty obvious to me that he was trying to grab her.

I wish I knew. I never have babied it and it's been good to me.

:spock:

He wasn't trying to grab her.

I figured you might have been pulling one of these. :)

Well regardless of how you interpret the intent of his grasp/punch. She had her hand on him(grabbing up around the neck) prior to that happening.

In my opinion, in potentially high stress or violent situations like that, physical contact is the line that just can't be crossed.

I know most won't agree with me, but it's also why I don't blame Ron Artest, or Legarette Blount for reacting the way they did.

He went to slap her, and he succeeded. It's the same from both videos.


Bullshit. In fact, if that wasn't a cop, almost everyone on this board would be calling that guy a pussy for doing that to a woman.

This actually hurts your position pretty irreparably. If the police officer was working at the restaurant at the time, then he was acting on behalf of the restaurant. As such, the moment he asked her to leave and she refused, she was trespassing.

I'm the first person to go crazy against an abuse of power, but the officers were in the right here. I don't even see how this is an issue.

If he weren't a cop, he'd be an asshole for trying to arrest someone. WTF are you talking about? His being a cop is a pretty important piece of the story.
