    the woman did fight back and thats a no-no when it comes to enforcing the law. Drogo was totally wrong for hitting her when she was cuffed.

    if they really gotta beat on sum 1, y not go 4 drug dealers and active gangbangers? (maybe cuz they know they’ll lose…..) I can c how much easier it can b beat up a teenager that’s already in handcuffs. CAN U SAY EXCESSIVE FORCE? I noticed they made sure they mentioned a drug charge following the incident….. but its irrelevent since the reason they stopped her wuz cuz she was riding on bike on the sidewalk. They HAD 2 find sum sort of drug charge 2 try 2 get a few ppl on their side!! But no matter if she wuz a drug dealer, gangbanger, street walker, or simply bike riding, once she was handcuffed, the USE OF FORCE should have ceased….. BY LAW!!!

    if you all are outraged by this video you should see the one where the fool punched a 17 yr old female in the face, and everybody else was standing around but taking video for proof obviously, but see i know me and that is where I would have got beat down because I can NOT stand a punk behind man to even raise his voice! let alone his fist to a minor, then a female! OMGosh, it would have been on and there would have been a tragic ending cause they would have to had shoot me.This is absurd! And brotha ashanti, yeah Ima keep it clean and civil, but you’re a sissy and we know it! A closet freak trying to play pimp! Enough said.

    really2000, I hope that you listened to your granny and have stayed far away from trouble because if some get the opportunity they will beat the hell out of you in the name of the law but really for their own sick sadistic satisfaction

    This is sad. What is really going in the United States? I have looked at 4 police brutality videos! Three of which were Seattle cops against TEENS! What is really going on, I honestly wish that I never had to come and live in the United States again. While I will be the first to admit our teenagers are out of control, but seriously is this the answer…to give male adults licenses to carry weapons and beat our teenagers up when they want? And then they are doing it to female teenagers which is ten times worse. So are they abusing their spouses and kids in the privacy of their homes? Our system has gone too far and is failing miserably! So sad!

    All they had to do was to tell her that she wasn’t supposed to ride on the sidewalk. A bike is a vehicle and is supposed to be on the road, not the sidewalk. All they had to do was tell her the right way to do things. Not many people know that they can ride in the road legally.

    and besides not only is she a girl but she is basically still a baby, i bet men ride their bikes on sidewalk in his face all the time and he never address it. ashanti shut up

    OK YALL this is directly from the BroAhsanti page…..Fake F****t A%%….
    I apologize but these words he said about that teenage girl just pissed me off I had to seek who he really thought he was. I think he is one of those that wishes he was not born as he is…Maybe wishes he was from another mother cause I am sure if this was read by the female members if his family they would tell us that He Likes Men more than Women therefore men do no wrong. I mean come on now how many real men make the statement or even think to use these words to describe anything….
    These are his words from his page just thought I would share…

    Without Commerce and Industry, The People Perish

    The man without a business of his own or with training in performing a particular work is always at a disadvantage in making a living. Great wealth is made out of Commerce and Industry. The fault with the Negro in business, commercial or industrial, has been his inability to appreciate starting at a given point and climbing steadily, while other races have been willing to start from the lowest down to climb higher up.

    Find a particular kind of business that you would like to engage yourself in, because you can make it profitable, and start it with whatsoever capital you have. . . Find out what your neighbors want most and are willing to buy, and start selling it to them, if not in a shop, by going from door to door.

    BroAshnti…You are whats wrong with society..We are humans and we pay their payroll…That girl wasnt doing anything…If it were you I guess you would have just got your punk A%% whipped because anytime another man will say that it was okay for another man to beat down on an unarmed female let alone a woman with a weapon then he is just as coward as the man that laid the punch….You probably get your a%% whipped by your girl or maybe your man and thats why you would think this way. Remember we have rights she was not doing anything he was angry at himself for spraying himself with pepper spray so as most punk a%% men they take it out on someone weaker then them…..You are a disgrace to all man for the comment you made…..How would feel if it were your sister, mom etc…..Jerk Off
