[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

#12  It's not so much their weight, as the total lack of upper body strength. The suspect easily pulls away from them as they attempt to straighten out his arms.

Nor do they seem to understand any pain control maneuvers. If they even teach that any longer.

Complete failure of law enforcement.

#10  ^ By the hour? Also... not my usual hobbyhorse, but imagine the reaction to four dudes treating a female suspect that way.

#9  There were 4 gals and the the guy got 4 charges of resisting arrest. So, is he being charged by weight or by volume?

#8  They kept him long enough to extract a couple of dinner dates before letting him go. Girl's gotta eat - especially those gals.

#6  I was having a hoot yelling, "Use you Girl Magic!" during the tussle, but absolutely lost it seeing how the four ran after suspect's escape.

#2  Three police officers for one shoplifter seems excessive to begin with, but if they have his picture on their body cams and they get his plate number, he just added some felonies to his misdemeanor.

#1  You chased the good ones off, what do you expect to hire now? It's not like you'd OK shooting the perp.
