    Good grief. No one can physically resist arrest and try to wrestle away from an officer trying to handcuff. The officer is allowed to use force in this case. She should have just gone along with the officer and explained things to the judge. And there should be no race card play here. Yeah, I know police are not angels but I saw nothing out of line in the video except the women actually violating the law. You can argue that she should have not been stopped in the first place or required to show ID but that's an issue that goes before a judge: the person stopped by police on the street cannot be their own judge and physically fight the officer.

    Respect for the police is essential for law and order - and I know many readers mostly hate that phrase, except when they need officers to save their butt.
