Metro Transit Police are being criticized for excessive use of force after a video posted Tuesday showed an officer pushing and tripping a high school student, knocking her to the ground, after she refused to throw away a bag of potato chips and a lollipop.

The three-minute video, posted by a member of the District’s Black Lives Matter chapter, shows the 18-year-old in handcuffs, surrounded by three police officers, just outside the fare gates at Columbia Heights station.[/quote]

I remember bringing a banana in the metro and an officer coming up to me and saying "please discard the banana or we will have to fine you."  Bam! Apologized, said I completely forgot (which I did) and threw it away.  You know what they said back "Have a nice day."  Done and over.

All I see here is complete disrespect and her not complying with the Metro rules or direct security/police orders.  My child would NEVER act that way towards a police officer.  If she did, I would expect this to happen, apologize to them for her wasting their time with her behavior, make her apologize directly for her behavior, and also make sure she had enough community service hours cleaning the same metro station she completely made a fool of herself in.

But for some reason, there are people in this world that believe that they don't have to comply with rules or orders and can come and go as they please. Then play victim when an officer does anything.   I am sure her mom will be just like her and turn this into a circus.  You can hear the man video taping in the background "she is just a little girl."  No, she was a straight up B with attitude, fighting with police, and cursing like a sailor.  That is not a little girl.

Self-entitled trash is what she is.  Just adding to the stereotype that hardworking African Americans are trying to get rid of.  [/quote]

How does that work?  Because all African Americans are the same and some random girl in the Metro station represents all of them?  [/quote]
