No simple response can be made on this.
Putting myself as a juror in her DUI case....
From GET GO she had zero respect or apparently ability to recognize reality. Article for those that didn't read it states she had hit and run from initial scene a vehicle than hit two others driving away. Police didn't stop her they found her parked engine off over a huge visible curb which again she prolly didn't feel. He told her several times get back in the car. Instead she made a call and stood outside talking to someone more important than him. From her previous actions and words it is apparent she's wasted. Wasted people do stupid stuff like ignoring simple orders from a cop. I think he then said F it I'm done and went to make her comply. The curb does seem to have a place in this as later in video you can see how tall it actually is when he goes back to far and steps over it a few times. More than a lip for sure. I watched it many times and unfortunately I couldn't stop laughing long enough to concentrate but it does seem that had the curb not been there she would have just spun and been up on car quickly as he wanted. But she stumpled and face planted. It is actually a good thing she was wasted because the faceplant didn't even phase her. It would have put a sober person in the hospital. Instead she bounced off it like most drinks do in accidents. So relaxed they bounce around and walk away. Later she's asking who's house that is? Still totally incoherent. That could have been one of any of our families at intial accident as well as in other two cars as well as the hundred she drove by before parking on the curb. I have zero tolerance for drunks who drive.
GUILTY as charged. License ban for at least?, well a very long time. She should be made to attend the scene of at least ten other DUI accidents while sober to see the full reality of what happens and the aftermath. Pay a mega fine to some org or something? And gimme me a bit I'll come back with more...
Myself as a juror on his case because nobody mentioned here yet he was fired and ARRESTED for assault.
Again most of what I said above applies to this as well but I can only wonder about his forgetting the curb.
It seems he got caught up in subduing her and forgot the tall curb they were standing on? Being an armchair quarterback he should have I guess gotten ahold of her and brought her over to his car maybe on the hood and cuffed her? But her tried to spin her there and she faceplanted. To ones who say smartly 'oh yeah he being 200lbs should be scared of her at 100lbs'. He should women half her size have killed cops before. Size has nothing to do with it if she had whipped out a pistol or a big kitchen knife. So he had every right to do what he did after her neglecting his commands. Had she done what he said from the go she could have rested easily in the car like he told her. I see the video as a learning tool for him and others on what to do and what not to do. Fire him over this? No. Arrest him? No.
But there is one comment on the article page. I couldn't copy text so I snapped a screenshot.
If this is true than maybe he should have been dismissed? If not I think its a police chief instantly and over reacting before the video went viral as they do now protecting his on hide. I do think there's more to the story though. Something like 'we won't charge you with DUI or fleeing scene and will fire him if you don't file a complaint and sue us for Bazillions' lease:
