I know. Context is king and we should wait for the police internal investigation on the incidence, but on the surface (as reported), this pissed the living shit out of me.
First off, the woman is clearly NOT a danger to police. That was, ostensibly, a harmless encounter in which a citizen found herself stunned. Second, she's in her 40s and was attempting to enter a health food store. While being in her 40s doesn't mean she couldn't par take in the student riot, but judging by what I saw, the cops should have been able to deduce this. We don't know, in defense of the officer, how hard he pushed her but I felt it was excessive and pointless. If she did freeze, and he knew it, then he's in the wrong.
