Cop did his job, She didn’t cooperate so it had to be done! If you’re a criminal and get caught you’re no longer part of society, that’s my opinion.
Not sure what else he could do. He didn't hurt her at all.
well that's what she keeps telling him to do
She deserved it
How many times has he done this before? This time, he got caught.
She said “I want you to drag me.” She got what she wanted. Why did they fire him?
Should keep his job and get a promotion !
What’s sad is that, that is nothing new from police & only because it was caught on camera did they have to do something about it. He’ll be rehired somewhere else no problem
It's disgusting he was fired over this cockroach… people have to be dragged into every jail America everyday this isn't out of the ordinary.
Bruh , you kidding me ? He got fired for that? Man give that man his job back and add more time to that piece of trash’s sentence
A "woke" police officer would know better than to drag a woman across the floor like this and make derogatory or demeaning comments to her while doing it.
deserved
Cop 1#: kills unarmed suspect in non life threatening triggerhappy situation, breaking protocol (paid admin vacation, later promotion)
THIS Cop being friendly, patient: fired, threatened, ruined, and ineligible for rehire
Sure makes sense!
Amazing video and thank you for breaking it down!! Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy 😊I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $9,000 investment every 21days.
They get special treatment now cause of their race.
That voice…was a woman?!? What??
So basically all a criminal has to do is say I'm not moving and you'll have to drag me.
She's lucky it is not an Indian or pakistani cop.
He could have had jail staff assist him, and he would probably still have a job and a good retirement. I'm just sayin'…
That’s all he needed to do is call for back up. I wouldn’t have dragged her. There’s police out here actually doing bad, why fire a cool one because of this garbage? Fire the ones who are out here actually committing crimes!!
It's kind of like if you paint your jail cell in feces will let you sit in there for a couple days
Lmfao yes this proves our leaders are anti society improvement by firing cops for no reason
If you don't act like a criminal you won't have to experience this in the first place this was on her for acting a fool
LOOKS ABOUT WHITE.
I dont get it. Die hard liberals have made it so citizens don’t respect authority and the media plays it up. It sucks to be a police officer nowadays.
I really don't understand… He did nothing wrong! She as many criminals do not want to go anywhere, such as criminals running from police, but why should a police man having no choice but to carry her in, he did not drag her and if he did it was because of her weight along his equipment and his gear weight, that is not easy carrying someone alone. I mean give him a break, he did nothing wrong. I truly don't understand why he got fired, daily from New York to California I see police officers having no choice when having to drag criminals out of restaurants, or businesses they are committing crimes in. The Officer talked to her many times to walk and he advised her nicely. But yet he gets fired? for doing his job…. Unbelievable.
She asked to be dragged
The cop did what needed to be done!
“You’re going to have to drag me” so what’s option B? What else could have been done? She was not going to exit willingly
Instead of dragging her to a jail how's about protecting her by escorting her k I ndly to a shelter or a hotel room.
POLICE LOST job because of his unwanted comments, not for dragging her to jail ,,, police job is to bring criminals to jail but should keep his opinions and unwanted comments to himself.
They can’t even do the job anymore. Police should have unlimited powers.
