This Video of an Officer Slamming a Drunk Woman Led to Him Being Fired, Charged With Battery

Pensacola Officer Chrisopher Geraci Fired, Charged With Battery After Slamming Abbi Bonds During Arrest

A police officer in Pensacola, Florida has been fired and charged with battery after video emerged of him slamming a 29-year-old woman into the side her car while responding to a nearby hit and run call, according to reports.

Fox News paraphrases the shocking scene:

In the video, you can see the officer grab the woman’s arm and slam her body into the car. After the video was found, the officer was fired and charged with battery while the woman was charged for leaving the scene of an accident, driving under the influence and for having no proof of insurance.

Watch the clip, via Fox News, below:

“Dude, I’m not fighting you. Why are you hitting me?” Abbi Bonds says in the video.

After handcuffing the woman, Officer Christopher Geraci replies: “There. Maybe now you can understand simple instructions.”

Watch the long version of the police video, with audio, below:

The Pensacola News Journal adds that Geraci, 33, has been with the police department since March 2004 and that Bonds did not file a complaint at the time.

In fact, the altercation was only discovered after a routine review of the video footage recorded by officers’ dashboard cameras.

“This type of behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” Police Chief Chip Simmons said in a news release. “When I saw the video, I was shocked and disappointed. This is not how we train. It was unreasonable force, and it was inconsistent with the level of resistance.”

If convicted, Geraci reportedly faces up to one year in jail and/or a $1,000 fine, and Bonds deferred questions to her attorney.

      Not a punk. He has been trained to be an enforcer not a peace officer. The police are being turned into paramilitary enforcers. He was just about six months too early for this kind of action to be acceptable. NoBama in 2013.

      I fought Iraqi Cops hand to hand with their AK47s pointing at me, while stopping sectarian violence and police brutality. I was an advisor for Iraqi National Police during the surge in 07. I know a little about police work, and a whole lot about the adrenaline and the danger in such situations. Some of the most violent folks to have to arrest are women. I do not condone police violence, but know the reality to how quickly a situation can turn violent.

      Once again, the police do not come to your Sunday school class, and beat people up. This lady broke the law by driving drunk. Once stopped, she ignored the cop and his order (lawful) for her to get back in the car.

      She thought she was in charge of the situation, and resisted arrest.

      Watch the clip, over. Watch the placement of his hands. He had her arm, and like he was trained, he turned her toward the vehicle. he never placed a hand on the back of her head or back, and slammed her head into the car.

      Watch her feet and knees. While resisting and being drunk, she fell and hit her head on the car.

      As soon as she was cuffed, making the situation more safe for her and him, he did not strike her or abuse her.

      you bleeding heart pansies would do well to try and do his job for just one night, and you would have a different outlook on his job.

      I cant believe they fired this guy for that. What rangerp is saying is exactly correct. I guess if she was resisting he could have just went to the ground with her. HOWEVER we can sit here and scruitinize what this officer did in split seconds for days and days. He didnt slam this womans head into the car she stumbled as the officer was trying to gain compliance.

      This is just crazy, they even charged this officer. I cant even believe this ****. the only abuse was the booze this woman drank and the potential family or innocent she could have killed had this officer not stopped her.

      Cagefighter, Iraqi police trainer, grappler, Master of all things thin blue line. Seeing as the Pig abused his authority to the extent that he was FIRED AND CHARGES PRESSED, I think that proves he was in the wrong. You can spin your massive triumphs in Iraqi police training and MMA-style grappling all you want. What the cop did was abuse his power and got caught, much like most cops abuse power and eventually get caught. Notice how no mention of the event was given in the report, UNTIL the dash cam was reviewed? Why is that? Maybe the Cop KNEW he did wrong and wanted to keep his o-ring safe from Bubba? I know this cop is going to have a fun time in prison. Most criminals HATE abusers of women and moreso those wearing the “thin blue line”. I’m sure you will have some snarky comment for me, but know what? End of the day, I’m not the one making 28K a year as a cop, because I have an IQ over 95 and was not beat up as a child in school.

      I agree with RangerP.

      I am amazed that so many of you can’t see that the drunk girl was resisting, and THAT is why she FELL face-first into the side of her car. A sober person who was not resisting would have taken a step and avoided the faceplant.

      The officer didn’t slam her face into the side of her car, SHE DID THAT HERSELF. The officer merely tried to guide her in that direction so that he could cuff her. Had she simply followed his orders, or even bothered to take one step towards her car, it never would have happened. How can you watch that video and NOT SEE THAT?

      The only reason I can think of that you might not see it is that you are letting your emotions get the best of you. That’s how liberals think. They make emotion-based snap judgments and then blindly and viciously defend them to the death. If you don’t think of yourself as a liberal, then you should review this video again with an open mind and see it for what it is: A drunk moron stumbling into the side of her own car because she didn’t want to be cuffed.

      @Ranger, this isn‘t Iraq and cops aren’t brandishing AK-47s. The “There. Maybe now you can understand simple instructions” quote is what bothers me. Yes, I’ve re-watched the video a few times but I still believe the officer used excessive force. If she had hit him, then I would have said, “okay, he handled the situation well,” however, this cop made a mistake and instead of recognizing the mistake, he just rationalized it by what he said afterwards.

      I’m not a cop and never have been, but from what I saw, she was being drunk, belligerent, and not sitting back down in the car as ordered, which is what all cops will tell you to do until they ask you to exit the vehicle. She was being a spoiled brat and thinking she could get away with disobeying a law officer, probably because she’s gotten away with disobeying people in positions of authority all her sorry life. I don’t think he deliberately “slammed” her into the car. He was being forceful and may have lost his temper a bit, but I don’t think it warrants being fired.

      from V15 “after reading you posts about how much you enjoy assault and battery inflicted on people”

      My comments about my service in Iraq was a reply to the above comment. I have been in situations, where I stopped the police violence. I do not enjoy, or condone assault by police or anyone else. I don’t care if you respect me or not.

      I respect police, fireman, and those that keep our communities safe. I respect what these folks did during the 9-11 attacks, and went into those towers, and died helping others.

      I can tell from your comments that you have a serious disdain for police and military. You sound like the OWS type. I would bet that you have never served your country in any way, shape or form. I would also bet that you are liberal.

      I do not condone military or police violence, and have fought to stop both, and have put my own life in jeopardy doing so. If that miffs you, and if you find that to be boatful, then tough luck. I do not write to please you, or authority hating libs like you.

      “Yes, I’ve re-watched the video a few times but I still believe the officer used excessive force. If she had hit him, then I would have said, “okay, he handled the situation well”

      So if a 100 lbs drunk woman took a swing at the 200+ lbs trained officer you think it would be ok for him to ALLEDGEDLY swing her face first into the side of a car????

      NO WAY. Slamming someone head into something can KILL them. your on record stating that a tiny drunk girl should get her head slammed into a car because she takes a swing at the officer.

      The fact of the matter is the officer DIDNT swing her into the car, she was drunk and stumbles face first. Havent you ever seen drunk people before, they dont have any equilibrium, hence the line test. She obviously fell into that car but the officer was holding her arm so now his carreer and life are over.

      See you tried to validate slamming a humans head into a car. Use of force is not a complex idea but that is not on it anywhere. you obviously think it should be.

      The officer DID not throw this woman into the car, she was drunk and fell into it. It is not ok nor is it ever ok to slam someones head face first into a car. unless your v15.

      Look, I agree that people who lump all cops into the “pig” category are wrong. There are good men and women serving…I’m quite sure. Point being that complete categorizations are not very sound (I‘m sure I’ve done it on occasion).

      HOWEVER….

      Complete categorization in the other direction is equally problematic. You wrote:
      “The people (military and police) you hate, are the same people that fight for your constitutional freedoms of free speech. Remember that at your next OWS event.”

      I concede the military part of that. Although it is becoming harder and harder to do so. The extrajudicial killing of Americans via drone and hellfire missiles is unquestionably unconstitutional. I pray that there is zero DoD involvement in that, but I suspect otherwise. So military aside, I see little evidence that police are fighting for my constitutional rights. I see countless examples that they click heels and follow orders. Cops looking out for my rights don’t take my cell phone sim cards without warrant. They don’t collect my tax dollars in order to pay for drones to spy on me. They don’t shut down lemonade stands. They don’t lie on police reports. I could go on, but you get the point. Police look out for police and pensions and paychecks and self interest. It is what it is, right? Don’t insult me by telling me they look out for my rights.

      I have heard that psychiatrists & nurses (in psychiatric units ) change profession because they get overwhelmed hearing , dealing & counseling with all the problems they encounter.

      I suppose it happens to cops too. I also suppose that people want a job change but think I go 10 or 15 years in & they would lose their pension. As an aside this another good reason for portable retirement benefits. My point is do cities & states periodically assess the psychological stress of dealing with people behaving badly.

      I am not saying this officer should not be fired. I am saying get up stream of the situation & solve it there before it becomes a much more expensive proposition to fix or ameliorate.

      I have re-watched this tape at least 10 times and I still think the officer used excessive force. I think he acted professional for most of the video; HOWEVER, it’s obvious he lost his temper and took it out on her. Yes, she tripped the first time but he slammed her face into the side of the car with his right hand a second time. She would not have fallen if he had not jerked her around and slammed her into her car. With the force he exerted on her, she would have stumbled even if she was sober.

      Y’all are rationalizing violence because she is drunk and not following instructions (from her perspective I can see why she was trying to talk to the officer – he‘s shouting at her and she’s trying to explain). Police follow instructions about what to say and, many times, don’t think for themselves. It’s videos like this and other stories about a man shot 46 times by 6 officers and a rookie cop shooting a homeowner that called 911 that reveal how cops cannot think for themselves and resort immediately to violence. Remember the homeless guy that was tased 5 or 6 times while the cops bashed his face into the pavement…and he later died in the hospital? I suppose that was justified too, huh?

      Obviously you did not watch the film. She resisted from the very start.

      She was drunk
      She already fled the scene of an accident (listen to the news dude speaking)
      She refused to get back into her car (for her own safety and the safety of the police officer)
      She tried to jerk away when he took the phone and calmly laid it on the top of the car.
      When he used wrist control, she fell into the car.

      what are you smoking? once handcuffed, he never laid a hand on her. After she fell and hit her face on the car, she continued to resist, he provides just enough force to cuff her, and then walks her to the police car.

      Like the rest of the bleeding hearts on here, you make up stuff. If you watch it, you will clearly see her resist, and when he does the arm control, she falls into the car.

It‘s obvious to me that he had no intent to slam this woman’s face into the car. It is also obvious that she was still trying to ignore his orders even after this happened.

      She was drunk, and failed to follow his directions. that is called resisting arrest. by law, you have to obey legitimate or legal law enforcement instructions. Not getting back in the car was a violation of the law.

Immediately, the cop went to the girl to give aid to her, and ignored his own injuries. the girls dad with an extensive criminal record, ran out and attacked the cop. The cop identified himself a number of times, while the dad an another thug, literally stomped him and kicked him. It was then in defense of his own life that he drew a pistol and shot the attacker.

      I’m not a police apologist, but that example is just wrong. The cop hit the girl by accident, just like a civilian. He was trying to render aid to the girl. The father attacked him and he tried every way to not use lethal force there. At that point he wasn’t a cop, he was surviving…that man would have killed him. You can’t use that one.

      So you don’t think small females can assault an officer?

      http://www2.fbi.gov/ucr/killed/2009/data/table_11.html

      According to FBI data reports released in October of 2011:
      •53,469 officers were assaulted in 201
      •128 law enforcement officers were killed in 2010

      The men and women who serve as police officers are trained to observe with their five senses. Their observations and ability to sense not only movement, but eminent danger, and help protect the communities they serve. At an anything-but-routine traffic stop, they must protect themselves.

      When the database is used for information, officers remove attention from possible threats. By limiting approaches to the vehicle from twice to once, they have lowered their risk of injury.

      -as to the woman shot by police in San Diego

      No one on here is giving a dense to every action of every police officer in the nation.

      Some cops commit crimes, some murder, some rape, some are idiots. Just like some military, some fire man, some doctors….

      My argument on here is for this one incident. I watched the tape, and the woman clearly is resisting arrest. If you are pulled over for DUI, you do what the police tell you (as long as it is lawful) . This keeps you and the police safe.

      You and others on here have the OWS mentality that all police are bad. There are lots of good police officers out there doing an awesome job, they are NRA members, conservative, Tea Party, Christian people. I know plenty.

      Your Obama KGB remarks make you look like a buffoon. Local cops are not working for Obama. They work for their local community and towns.

      This man is keeping streets safe by arresting a drunk woman that already fled the scene of an accident.

      I think you are being naive. I don’t care how many local cops are NRA member. When push comes to shove they are NOT there looking out for the folks in their towns. Let’s look at Katrina. LOCAL New Orleans cops went door to door with National Guard troops collecting registered guns. They did this under a FEDERAL order to do so. Then, when confronted about it, they refused to return the guns until a federal judge ordered them to do so.

      The local cops didn’t bat an eye on stomping on constitutional rights.

      I’d challenge you to find one local cop that refused that order. Show me some local cops who refuse to fly drones. Show me local cops who will protect me from the TSA. Show me a local cop who won’t do the sim card read if told to do so. Those were local cops hauling off Mr. Raub this AM and holding him without warrant or due process.

      Conservative cops, local cops, NRA, Oathkeepers…blah blah blah. When orders are given, cops follow…without question. They have families to feed, pensions to collect and union dues to pay. I’d love to see an example of ONE COP who took a stand for the constitution rather than what some DA says is now “legal”.

      this series of posts has been a microcosim of the Tea Party view vs the OWS view.

      Tea Party value the constitution, want small gov and lower taxes. They respect authority, and they view local law enforcement as the authority, and expect them to act within the law. Generally the Tea Party types don’t have run ins with the law, as they abide by the rules. If they do deal with police, they are respectful and follow the rules. When there is a problem, they vote, or let the courts handle it, and they assemble peacefully.

      The OWS crowd hates the police and thy despise authority. They were raised with the multicultural mindset, where if the police is a white male, then he has to be bad. They hate military, they hate rules and regulations. They caused trouble in school, and they think only of themselves. They destroy public and private property, refer to police as pigs and deragotry names.

      “This type of behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” Police Chief Chip Simmons said in a news release. “When I saw the video, I was shocked and disappointed. This is not how we train. It was unreasonable force, and it was inconsistent with the level of resistance.”
      _________________________________________________
      Well you people can bitch all you want but the cop was fired. Even the Police Chief said it was “unreasonable force”. The officer slammed this chick twice. She was on the phone telling a friend to pick up her car when he snatched it away from her. Yes, she was hammered but still coherent enough to try to defuse the situation. I would act in the same way: Hey cop, you don’t need to shout at me; let’s have a calm discussion. We have a right to question authority. This woman questioned his authority so he used force after shouting didn’t work. I believe this cop made it personal and that is why he slammed her against the car. Again, the police chief was appalled by this cop’s behavior. Hopefully it will send a message to other cops that have the same anger issues as this guy to act professionally or you’re fired.

I have several copies of the Constitution and I can’t find the article that allows a police officer to slam a woman into a car because she is drunk and didn’t sit down when he told her. What I am afraid of is what will happen when enough police and military personnel believe that are doing the right thing oppressing American citizens. Blindly condoning violence by law enforcement has nothing to do with the Constitution, small less intrusive government and the Tea Party. I am not a leftist I am a Libertarian.

      We as Americans have been brainwashed to believe that it is our duty to “comply” with every cop’s orders. Unless there is a very compelling, obvious, and happening-right-now-not-just-suspected infraction of the law, cops cannot summarily hand out orders.

      Allowing them to get away with this is how the problem has become worse. Cops have been emboldened to abuse our rights.

      What needs to happen more is to have them attempt to abuse the wrong people, like maybe the Navy SEAL home between deployments, whereas the cop gets his arse handed to him, then gets fired, then gets sued. At that ponit PDs will once again start teaching self-discipline.

      Here is the best way to describe why so many on here see it so differently. Read Dave Grossman’s book On Combat.

      In this book, he puts folks in three categories.

      Sheep – are your regular people, generally not overly concerned about wolves, as if they do not see it, it must not exist.

      Wolves- are the bad guys, and they prey on sheep. They might be criminals; they might be an enemy army.

      Sheepdogs – look after the sheep. It is just in their nature. They willingly put themselves in danger to protect the sheep. They migrate toward jobs that may not pay the most, or might even get them killed. They are cops, army rangers, SEALS, Special Forces, Fire fighters. Some sheepdogs are just out there in the public, and not all military folks are sheepdogs, just a special breed.

      Funny thing about sheep is they hate sheepdogs too. They look sort of like wolves, have tails that wag, fangs, and they bark. Sheep are scared of them, until one day the wolf shows up, and then they love the sheepdogs. When danger is gone, they want the sheepdog gone.

      Sometimes the sheepdog nips at the sheep to keep them out of harm’s way. Not a big deal, but all the sheep think it catastrophic.

      This lady is a sheep. She got a little nip from the dog, and it might have saved her life, or the lives of others. No damage done, and she is better off that he nipped her. But listen to all the other dumb sheep in the herd bleating away at how evil that old dog is. Sheep are….. she

      My first degree is in Criminal Justice. A good number of prior service NCOs who get into ROTC will take CRJ. It is a pretty easy degree to earn, and is the easy street to becoming an Army Officer. Studying crime, and policing is a bit of a hobby of mine, and I also worked as a police advisor in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Their style of policing is different than ours, but still is policing.

      I have no shortage of buddies from back when I was in the 75th Ranger Regiment that have gone on to work federal, state, and local law enforcement. The mass majority of them are far right, conservative, NRA members that hunt, fish, and are just good decent family people.

      I may have met a few Barney Fife types in my day, but for the most part, I like cops, and respect what they do for their community.

      I am a little surprised at how many blaze folks have a serious hate for the police.

      Very well said, RangerP. I will have to check out the book you referenced, it sounds like the author has a pretty firm grasp of sociology.

      I also think The Blaze should do an IP trace on all the people who responded so viciously in this thread. Something tells me that more than one or two of them will be identical.

      I also have a newfound respect for the distinction between Conservatives and Libertarians, thanks to the Ron Paul zealots who infect this site. Hint: Conservatives don’t let their emotions trump their logic, but apparently Libertarians are more like Liberals in this respect. Like the moron who said “Let‘s keep in mind that last week a cop killed a man blah blah blah.” Or the fool who said, “Have you read the story on the Blaze about the cop in San Diego that blah blah blah.” Or the nut who brought Ruby Ridge into this discussion. What the hell does ANY of that stuff have to do with this one individual cop handcuffing a belligerent, drunken, hit-and-run driver??????????? Answer: NOTHING.

      If you guys wouldn’t make snap-judgments based on emotion, you wouldn’t find yourselves pridefully (and poorly) defending your absolutely wrong stance via fallacious strawmen. THAT IS HOW LIBERALS DEBATE. If you don’t want to be called a liberal moron, stop acting like one.

      Sheep…Sheepdogs..wolves…whatever. Thank you for serving our country, RangerP, and for fighting to preserve the rights we take for granted. I wouldn’t lump police with the military – that would be an insult to our military. To my knowledge, I don‘t think I’ve ever been served or protected directly by the police. The fines they make people pay, to me, is just another form of taxation. Everyone who is backing the cop justifies it because the chick was drunk. So what? We can beat up drunk people now? From my perspective, I’m glad that she got pulled over but he shouted at her and attacked her – it’s not like she led him on a high-speed car chase. His tone and actions show that he took this personally and acted out of rage. I’m not some bleeding heart liberal, I’m just stating what I believe to be factually true. Cops are trained to see the bad in people. Most have an inferiority complex. They aren’t the brightest of the bunch either; rather, they probably couldn’t hack it in the private sector so they joined the police force. They are people that are generally naturally aggressive and more prone to turn to violence. They are simple-minded thugs that harass citizens. Yes, they do some good and they play an important role in our society, but many or most love shooting and beating up people. Hell, they signed up so they could use their guns.

      Great perspective on this story, I agree with you completely. I really don’t understand the comments of RANGER he claims the support the Tea Party and the Constitution but he supports and condones violence against the American people by government agencies (Ranger the police are a government agency). He also sees Libertarians as the same a socialist. Any one that has ever studied Civics and the history of communism could never reach this conclusion. His analogy of the people are sheep that must be protected by sheepdogs. And that the sheepdogs can do whatever they deem necessary to protect the sheep is in line with the communist view that people are stupid and only the ruling elite know what is best for everyone.

      Ranger, you lower yourself when you compare soldiers to cops. Soldiers are way, way way up the credibility totem pole from cops.

      The 2 should never be compared. Our founding fathers knew the importance of keeping them separate – the posse commitatus was written for that purpose.

      Glenn Beck is noticing what many have, and that is the militarism of the police. This leads to many problems that our foundin fathers anticipated. We have to prevent the poliuce from acting like the military.

      I have the utmost respect for our military, just as I used to have for cops. I spent many years teaching cops, btw, I know their world. I suspect you are considered an insider/friend by cops, and thus you get special treatment. I was the same. But once that special treatment goes away, you begin to see how unjust it is that they have 2 sets of rules.

      It is NOT a conservative opinion to blindly respect cops. It is more patriotic to steadfastly demand that they adhere to and respect our constitutional rights. That is all I’m doing.

      When they walk up to the care, I have both hands in plain view, and I refer to them as “sir”, “Ma’am”, or “officer”. I do not call them “dude”.

      If a police officer told me to sit down, then I would sit. If I feel the officer is out of line, I will still do as told, and then go through the proper legal channels and make a complaint.

      If pulled over on post (I am a field grade officer) by a Private First Class, I give him the same courtesy of any other police officer, and I thank him for the job he is doing, even if i get a ticket.

      Having respect for authority is the way I was raised, and is the way I raise my children.

He had a broken leg and shoulder, he announced he was a police officer right away and yet they proceeded to attack him even telling him they were going to kill him. He could not defend himself in his injured state and did the only thing he could have done to save his own life. He shot his attacker. It’s a sad story all around.

      I remember lots of details from lots of things, but I do not remember numbers well. I was D Company of Airborne school in the fall of 87, and SFC Mobley was my black hat (he now works at a military surplus sort of store outside of Fort Benning), but could not tell you the class number, nor can I tell you the class number for RIP, Ranger, Airborne, Pathfinder, Jumpmaster (failed it the first time) IOBC, IOAC, CAS3, CGSC, or any other school I attended.

      We already cover this, and your comments are B.S. and you know it.

      the little girl ran out in front of traffic. the cop laid his bike down, broke his own shoulder, and his ankle. He immediately went to the little girl and applied aid to her. The thug father with a pretty extensive record, ran out and attacked the officer. The officer identified himself as an officer of the law. The father cursed at him, and him and another man stomped the cop and were kicking him in the head. it was then that the cop pulled his pistol and fired.

      As far as ranger school, you do not know your butt from a hole in the ground. Only a percentage of students go through without doing at least one recycle.

      When you are a recycle, you get assigned to what they call the “Gulag”. you do details for the Ranger instructors, and you take classes in the evenings to prepare you for the next cycle that you get put into. While in the Gulag at Benning, I got stuck digging what we called a “bear pit” in the middle of the PT field. That field is no longer a PT field, but is now called the Malvesti Obstacle course.

      People recycle for medical reasons, failing patrols, or failing peer evaluations.

      As far as not remembering class numbers, you are full of poo again. Plenty of Army folks do not remember class numbers. I may not know my class number, but I can look it up in a matter of minutes. All Ranger school pics are on the Ranger Training Brigade Web Site, and have been for years.

I got sent to the Air force hospital, and was on 24 hour a day antibiotics via IV. A ranger instructor came to visit me, and brought me a couple cans of Kodiak Snuff.

      3) He decided to cuff her for refusing to get in car and acting drunk
      4) He was holding her hand pulling her toward the car.
      5) She fell and bashed into the car.
      6) He lifter her up and turned her around and cuffed her.
      7) He yelled at her and told her to be quiet.

      I am against police brutality and police ordering citizens around – I have posted comments to that effect on other videos, but this cop did his job and he did it correctly.

      I doubt he expected her to fall and he may have been rough, but she was resisting. I never saw him hit her.

      this link has most of the old ranger grad photos. Some classes are missing, but mine is there. Funny how I recognize dudes in the class before mine (the one I recycled out of).

      Command Sergeant Major Pearson was one of my ranger instructors in Fort Benning, He was rare in that he was only an E5 Sergeant, and walking patrols. He started his carrer in the 10th Mountain. I have worked with him in a number of units since. I believe he is still serving, and I saw him in Iraq in 07 at FOB Hammer.

      In the mountains, I hade an instructor named SFC Yazi. He was a full blooded Navaho Indian, and a heck of a good instructor.

      In Florida (my send time through), i remember well SFC Ruffin and SFC Obrien. Both were Viet Nam vets. they were hell raisers, but were highly respected by students and fellow instructors. Ruffin looked like the Marlboro man. My fist failed patrol came from a SFC Smit. He was an old 1st Ranger Bat vet from Grenada, and was friends with my current platoon sergeant at the time. My second no-go came from a guy named Benevente. I thought he was a jack ass. I also remember a SFC Ashe. He is a retired CSM now, and I saw him at Fort Benning Building Four about a year ago.

      In Desert I don’t remember many instructors, I was just ready to be done. We did have a Staff Sergeant whose last name was “Major”. Kind of confusing when you have a Staff Sergeant Major.

      Oh, btw. I don’t think people on here hate police. I think most are probably like me and hate that police are violating everyone’s rights (arresting those for things such as filming, beating them) and are practically never held accountable. Since a cops salary, and anyone else working for GOV or a GOV program is paid through the violent taking of money from people under threat and duress (known as taxation), I don’t ask myself why there is corruption and no one is being held accountable, I ask myself why not?

      Haaaaaaa. You aint the only one that hated the Iraqi Police. there were a whole lot of conventional units that would have just as soon shot them as the insurgents. I was in Salmon Pak for a while, and the 3d ID had no love at all for the Iraqi Police.

      Running the MiTT teams was like being the red headed step child. Your own forces generally had a disdain for you, and you had to sleep with one eye open when with your counterparts.

      Things did take a turn for the better. By 08, many of the Iraqi Army and Police units weeded out lots of the insurgents. In 08 I worked with a unit from the 10th Mountain in the Karadah area of Baghdad. They actually had a good working relationship with the Iraqi Army and Police, and did some very successfull joint missions together.

      Thanks for your service

      Dude, RangerP going to be like your fairy god mother, and make your wish come true.

      Step One- Buy your wife a bottle of Jack Daniels, have her drink, until she is considered intoxicated for your state.

      Step Two – Put her in your vehicle, and have her go drive into another vehilce, and then leave the scene of the accident.

      Step Three- you witness it, and call the law on her.

      Step Four – Coach her to to call the officer of the law “dude”, tell her to be disrespectful, and to get our of her car, and call you on her cell phone. Instruct her to resist arrest, and when the cop touches her, have her jerk away.

      Step Five – After they bounce her ignorant self (she can’t be real smart, she married you) on the ground, and put the silver bracelets on her, have her continue to run her mouth.

      Step Six – You being the Billy Bad A$$ that you are, run up to the cops, with your comments about Jack Boots, Constitutions, drones, zombies, and anti Wake Up conspiracies, and show them who is boss. After they pepper spray, taze, and cuff your moron self, wait till your authority hating, OWS attending self gets out of jail, and post pics.

      So you changed your mind on the whole wife fighting cops deal? Smart move.

      This entire post has been a little strange to me, and did not go the route I thought it would. I am a little surprised at how many “conservative” folks seem to really believe the police are against them.

      Looks like I see that one a bit different. Without a doubt, I believe Obama, Holder, Hillary, Boxer, Feinstein, Pelosi….. would all come to your house, take your guns, your Bible, and put your kids in a re-education camp if they could. I also believe that there may come a day that conservatives will have to fight for their freedom.

      I do not see the average “joe blow” street cop as having anything to do with the NWO, Progressive movement, or democrats in general. My next door neighbor is a retired State Policeman. He is a hard core conservative, attends church, supports the NRA, and is a real friend to my family. Most cops I know fit this same description.

      I do not condone dirty cops, or unnecessary violence. I hope these types get tossed in prison.

      I do have firsthand knowledge that when the tussle starts, even 120 pound females can be dangerous to you, and to themselves. Everything gets filmed these days, and it seems that about anything a cop does where it takes force, is going to get him hated (especially if he is a white male).

      To each his own. I was raised to respect police and authority, and that the cops are the good guys.

I agree with you and the others on this thread that have a brain that this cop may have momentarily lost his cool but did nothing wrong in dealing with this woman. Her face plant was a result of being drunk and not following the officer’s commands to stay in her vehicle.

    While I understand why Officer Geraci may have acted as he did,—it is unacceptable behavior and he should suffer the consequences of his actions!

      That’s bunk…..

      Before cell-phone cameras were invented then this sort of stuff went completely undetected…….and if it ever got to court, then it was the citizen’s word against the enforcement arm of the judicial industry whose responsibility it is to bring in new customers……er ‘clients’ to support the trial lawyer syndicate..

      But for video, then we would never know that this stuff was happening…..but now day after day after day we see cell-phone recordings of police beating the crap out of people (or worse).

      So I view this as a positive…..because if you are stupid enough to wear a badge and still have the complacency to beat the crap out of someone even though you know that cameras will instantly be pointed in your direction to capture the incident in its entirety, then its time for you to find another line of work.

      watch the film. To slam her head into the car, would be to take his hand, place in on the back of her head, or here back, and then force her into the car.

      the only portion of her body that he was controlling is her left arm. She is resisting arrest, and he turned her toward the car, she lost her footing (she is drunk), and fell into the care.

      Watch it over and over, and pay attention to the placement of his hands, and then watch her feet/knees.

      She was resisting arrest. She was not sober and on the way to the Sunday School picnic, and he ran up and body slammed her.

      She was breaking the law, and then in numerous ways, resisted arrest.

      Looks to me like the officer momentarily lost his cool, because the dumb broad would NOT listen to a word he was saying. She would not comply, she resisted arrest, she would not shut up. My guess is that this woman has never been told to shut up or has ever been spanked (at least for discipline).
      He lost his cool, blam, then he complied, but still would not shut up. She is an ass and deserved a face-plant, especially for knowingly driving drunk without insurance. Who knows if this policeman stopped a horrendous accident where she killed a couple of children? I think he deserved a warning, but not a firing.

      RangerP seems to think 2 wrongs make a right. Since the woman was drunk the cop had every right to assult her. Really? Seriously? And you PASSED criminal justice? In the United States you are a suspect until proven guilty, and the worst criminal should be treated with the same respect as the police (generally) deserve.

      I work in public safety and I know several officers who had to treat child molesters caught in the act with resepct and restraint. They didn’t like doing it, but they did it.

      This dude lost control (so says his Chief) responded with force not consistent with the resistance being given and he was fired, not after a media scandal, but from this dude’s peers reviewing the footage. So, you can look at it all day long, but at the end of the day, you’re not the Chief of that Department, and a jury will decide if the criminal charges stick.

      To use your Dirty Harry argument, remember when the DA has to let Scorpio go because Callahan violated his rights, and he went on to kill again. Well, this dude tarnished not only his department, but that conviction, she will walk free with a lot of our tax dollars after the lawsuits are settled, and she may hurt someone. If he had not been on a power trip assulting females then she would lose her licence, possibly get jail time and the people would be safe from her actions for a while.

    First, I encourage you to watch the full video – she was drunk and non-compliant to direct orders. The officer asked her to put her hands behind her back and she resisted – so he attempted a little judo move to force her arm behind her back. Now, I don’t know if he was also trying to throw her over the back trunk at the same time, or if she started to run to avoid the move and stumbled and fell, or if he intended to throw her into the side of her vehicle – but the end result was NOT pretty. The officer was clearly upset with her non-compliance, and his “judo move” was both poorly executed and excessive based on the fact that he was clearly her superior in strength and sobriety. In my opinion, the officer clearly used poor judgment in attempting to cuff this drunk woman using the move he did – but I did not get the impression that his intent was malicious or to cause a battery.

      Man, wassup with all the cop hate…I have to ask the question, for all of you experts on police policy, defensive tactics and police work in general, i.e. AJAYW, KIDCHARLEMANGE, V15 et al… did some cop, fireman, soldier or other A-type dude steal your wife or girlfriend? WTF?

      Let me guess, the Popo showed up and took your weed or popped you for DUI, or maybe you got you’re a** handed to you one night when you THOUGHT you knew what your rights were, a common mistake when you have a superiority complex or think you have a right to resist. Well, she doesn’t have a right to disobey a lawful order, or resist arrest, or drive drunk, or leave the scene of an accident. Her arrogance added to her dilemma. Refusing to get back in the car or get off the phone indicate she is in an uncooperative mindset. What he did was use a standard arm bar and wrist flex to gain compliance. As for bouncing off of the car, her state of intoxication had more to do with that, than his actions. If the car hadn’t been up over the curb she would have simply hit the car at her waistline and been pinned to the car which is what it appears he was trying to do. That said, if he didn’t mention this in his report, then there is an issue and he could have been fired for that. As for the Chiefs’ opinion about unreasonable…well, the chief needs to get back out and spend a little time pushing a patrol car around and come back to reality. RLTW

      @SGT_Rock,

      I’ll jump in, even though you didn’t call me out. I can’t speak for the others only myself. I take issue with cops for multiple reasons. First and foremost, however is that whenever I read about a lemonade stand shutting down or a hot dog stand or someone giving out free water all being shut down…there is a cop behind it. When I‘m fondled at the airport taking a flight that I’ve contracted privately with a company to provide while exercising my right to travel freely under Article IV Section 2 of the the constitution there is a mouthbreather in a blue shirt that violates that right as well as my 4th amendment right. There is some police SGT watching this jerk fondle me while counting the days till his retirement and does NOTHING for my rights. Our country and politicians and special interests rob us blind and our cops do nothing. They take orders from them because they pay their salaries and negotiate with their unions. They look out for each other and they look out for the ruling class. They point a gun at my head to collect money from me in order to buy drones to spy on me. My rights and my liberty are inconsequential. They show up after crimes are committed to fill out paperwork and expect me to genuflect that they keep me safe. When Katrina happened they had no problem rounding up guns. Today they rounded up Mr. Raub for a thoughtcrime. They are unthinking goons for the state bought by the unions. There, you asked.

      Roth, to continue, You’re right, cops usually show up too late, In a city of 16,000 the average number of cops on duty at any given time is three. They can’t be everywhere. Cops don’t collect taxes, tax collectors…the IRS, State Revenue Boards etc, do. A traffic fine is not a tax, it’s a penalty.
      The gun confiscation order you mention was issued by a liberal mayor in a liberal city. New Orleans was essentially under a state of emergency at the time, I don’t agree with it, but it’s like the military, cops work for civilian leadership. As with all local gun control laws in this country look to the “Blue” cities for shining example of 2nd amendment violations.
      Mr Raub was detained by the FBI and Secret Service, they operate under some interesting rules when it comes to domestic terrorism (I read his FB page btw, I do see what the feds are worked up about, I just think they over reacted). He may be held in a local jail, but that does not mean he is held on local charges.
      Unthinking goons…well I beg to differ. In our area at least most cops need at least an AA Degree to get hired and a BA/BS to promote. That said, if they were unthinking they probably wouldn’t pass the Psychological Assessment, but hey you’re entitled to your opinion. Obviously your mind is made up. If you hate cops, cool, it’s all good. Just be respectful when the nice officer asks for your license and you’ll be fine…oh, and keep those hands on the steering wheel.

      On the contrary, I have a tremendous amount of respect for women. It was a sarcastic question based on the level of animosity you guys exhibit in your posts…I rationalize the actions of the officer because I’ve been there. I have been assaulted more by women on the job than by men, why…because they didn’t think we would put our hands on them afterwards. You have no idea how many times I’ve heard “you can‘t touch me I’m a female” after they hit me or another officer, or refused to go into handcuffs. I never judge a book by it’s cover.

      The gun confiscation order you mention was issued by a liberal mayor in a liberal city. New Orleans was essentially under a state of emergency at the time, I don’t agree with it, but it’s like the military, cops work for civilian leadership. — My point exactly.

      I‘ll bet most cops haven’t even read the dang constitution. If they have, they sure don’t seem constrained by it. They just know what they’re told. It’s ok, sooner or later a choice is coming for them. The state or the people? Choose wisely.

      There are plenty of instances where cops have abused their power – enough to warrant the distrust many of us are showing in these comments. The fact is that they have earned a certain level of distrust from us, unfortunately.

      However, they demand and deserve our respect. An officer on the scene – any scene – has authority. Even if they are a self-serving-power-mad-mini-tyrant, they still have authority. As long as the command is legal, we are compelled to obey. If it is an abuse, file a complaint, but obey (so long as compliance itself is not illegal and will not result in harm to yourself or others).

      This woman repeatedly refused lawful orders designed to protect her and the officer from harm. She not only ignored him and then resisted him, she did so pulling toward traffic. If he has let her go, she could have stumbled into a passing car – much worse than falling into her own car’s fender.

      I am wary of the police state we seem to be turning into, but in this instance, I see no malice from the cop. He was doing the minimum level of force to attempt to gain control of the situation. I’m sorry she fell. I‘m also sorry she wasn’t wise enough to not drive drunk and to ignore police instructions.

    This stupid drunk slut ignored almost everything the officer told her. She kept talking on her phone. He told her what to do numerous times. He did get aggravated but he did nothing drastic. He grabbed her arm because she would not put it behind her and the push against the car to handcuff her would have been uneventful if she would not have been so drunk. SHe was drunk and limber and unsteady on her feet. If he has a good police union…he will get his job back and not be charged with anything.

      what was he supposed to do when she resisted? Ask her “pretty please?”

      How many drunks have you had to arrest, and had them spit on you, fight you, hit you with an object?

      How many felons have you taken off the street? How many children are safe, because you arrested a DUI.

      So do you think most DUI folks just do as they are told? He did not arrest here for skipping Sunday School. She was drunk and operating an automobile. He told her to get back in the car, she refused (that is against the law). That police officer is responsible for her safety, and his own. had she wandered out in traffic and got hit, he would be at fault. If she stabbed him, he might not go home to his family. You and many others sound like idiots, who have no clue about use of force, or the dangers in police work.

      He took away the phone, she resisted, he was trying to cuff her, she resisted again, he turned her toward the car, and the drunk idiot lost her footing and fell into the car. He picked her up, cuffed her like he was trained, and then moved her to his car. So she may have had a little knot on her head for not doing as she was told. At least he took her off the street, and she did not kill some innocent kid, or herself.

      what a bunch of crap.

      He told her drunk self over and over what to do, and she ignored him. he had to physically take the phone from here. He only had a hold of one arm, and when he turned her toward the vehicle, she (being drunk) fell into the car and bounced her head off it. He did not slam her into the car. She resisted, and he used just enough force to get the cuffs on here, and take her to his car.

      Cops have a tough row to hoe these days. Everything is filmed, and the libs are always looking to get them fired. Anytime a cop arrests a black person or a female, the libs are going to scream abuse. I am well into my 40s, and have never gotten so much as an ill word from the police. Any dealings I have ever had with them, I keep my mouth shut until spoken to, I reply with “sir” or “ma’am”, and I show no emotion, I just give the facts, and only when asked. I generally get a hand shake. When I have gotten a ticket, I thank the officer that wrote it. No policeman has ever had to put a hand on me.

      Funny how libs hate cops and military, but think only cops and military should be armed. that makes a whole lot of sense.

      Rangerp you are absolutely correct. This was nothing more than a standard maneuver to get the person under control that was clearly resisting orders. She slipped and the car appears to be sitting higher up than the street and that is why she smacked her face.
      He is trained to do this exact move and those of you that have never been trained to restrain someone, watch cops one night and you will see this move over and over on those resisting.

      When you have someones arm like he did it makes it hard for them to swing on you but you still dont have control over them. So You push them up against the car to keep them upright, get their arms behind them and keep them from kicking you. Its a simple move and she slipped. Like I said before he was calm when he took her phone and he used the force needed to restrain someone resisting ALL orders.
      The most amazing thing about these post, is that people seem to totally discount the fact that she was drunk and a risk to herself and everyone on the road that night.

      Yes, the few times I have received a ticket, I thank the officer. I was taught as a child to respect authority. Police are authority figures.

      We have speed limits for a reason. If I, or another person speeds, it becomes more dangerous to other motorists and pedestrians. By giving the ticket, he keeps you and others safe, and enforces the law. Thus the reason our tax money pays his salary.

      If fireman put a fire out at my house, I would thank him for his service. If an ambulance worker performed CPR on my family member, or me, and took them to the hospital, I would thank them.

      If the policeman does his/her job, then I thank them.

      Police are not the enemy. They react to crimes, put their own selves in jeopardy to keep others safe. It is an honorable and tough job without a whole lot of pay.

      What are you, one of the OWS sorts that was instructed to hate and disrespect authority? If your house was being broke into, who would you call? If a family member was kidnapped, who would you call? If someone steals your car, who would you call? If a punk kid is speeding through your neighborhood, putting your kids and others in danger , who would you call?

      I was never taught to hate or distrust police – they earned my disrespect. Aside from speeding, I have always never broken any laws nor have I ever been arrested or put in jail. I’m not some Occupy Wall Street nut. However, I have been jerked out my car by the police and given a sobriety test while another cop led a police dog around my car to see if I had any drugs. After passing the sobriety test the cop admitted that he had profiled me because I had tattoos. He tried to smooth things over by saying “I am an expert with tattoos and I can tell that your tattoos were not done in prison but by a good tattoo artist”. This isn‘t the first time I’ve been profiled and harassed by the police for having tattoos. I thought it was illegal to profile people? I‘m polite to police but I’ll never say “thank you, officer” when I get a ticket.

      She already showed herself to be drunk and belligerent. He told her to get back into her car, and she ignored. He is the authority, she is supposed to do what he tells her to do. That is the law.

      He had to physically take away the phone. She resisted.

      People forget that these can be life and death situation for police. She could have gone for a knife, a gun, or just hit him. He used the force continium, and once she was cuffed, he did not abuse or strike her.

      had she done what she was told in the first place, none of this would have happened.

      he may be fired, but he went home safe to his family. Some cops don’t. I think he did a good job, and I think she is an idiot and a byproduct of the modern day multiucltural education system that teaches all white males are the enemy, and to disrespect authority.

      You lost me on why “submission grappling” seems so funny.

      When Gen Stan McChrystal was 2/75 Ranger Battalion Commaner (early 90s), he had SFC Matt Larsen and others build a new and better combatives program. They hired Royce and Rorian Gracie to come up to Fort Lewis, along with the J Robinson and they put together the 13 core moves of Ranger Combatives. McChrystal later on became the 75th Regiment commander, and took this combatives to the rest of the Rangers. One of his battalion commanders (now LTG Mike Ferriter) basically took it to the rest of the Army when he was the 11th infanty reg commander at Fort Benning. This is when I picked it up. I helped build the original combatives school. It used to be in the old book warehouse across from the main post gas station. Now it is in the Bryant Wells Gym, down by the Fort Benning post office.

      Back in the day, most of the guys that were serious with it also trained BJJ under Romero Jacare with Aliance Jiu Jitsu up in Atlanta. This is where I did my tournament fighting in the NAGA and Casca Grossa and in the All Army Tournaments.

      Many cops and military do submission grappling. The more of it you do, the more relaxed you become. When you are relaxed, you can better feel an oponent.

      Some Army fighters have done well in MMA. I trained with some of the best in our Army. Andy Chapelle, Damien Stelly, and many more. The school at Benning now goes up to skill level four, and the All Army fi

    The only reason her face hit the car is the elevation of the vehicle verse where she was standing and she slipped. I have seen cops swing people like this up against the car tons of times because they are fighting and resisting. This woman was resisting from the beginning and now he has to pay for it. If you watch him take her phone he isn’t slamming it down on the car or acting like he was POed he was just being forceful with a drunk and she slipped. Big deal, don’t get drunk and resist arrest. Problem solved.

    WATCH HER FEET – SHE TRIPS…. I’m sure he was getting ready to cuff her by putting her up against the car – but she’s intoxicated… can’t walk… and TRIPS into the car. That’s not battery and the officer should sue the department.

      …
      You are right. Her foot snagged on the curb, when the officer pushed her toward the car.

      No that ex-cop should be in jail to think about the error of being a control freak.
      Explain this statement: “There. Maybe now you can understand simple instructions.”

    I hope he’s found guilty and given the max. As a officer of the law he knows better.Some big dude in jail gives him what he did to her, The problem with police these days they think they are untouchable.

    It seems to me that he told her several times to get back into the car. After that, he told her twice to turn around and put her hands together. She was still giving him lip when he spun her into the car. If she weren’t so drunk, maybe she wouldn’t have tripped over the curb. The lesson is clear: If you don’t want a cop to ram you into the side of your car, do as you are told.

    I just don’t understand why anyone would be sympathetic toward this woman. Would it change your mind if she was driving on the same road as your teenage daughter?

      Yep, and just think… if she were having a stroke (same symptoms) maybe the head slam would have fixed her for good. Had read of an article where the police got nasty with an elderly man for this very thing (having a stroke). Fortunately his partner put 2 + 2 together and called an ambulance after the first officer roughed him up.

      This was definitely excessive force and the cop should be able to control himself from abusing his power. Cops only know one thing: force. We all agree that drinking and driving is deadly but does that give the right for cops to slam the people they “protect and serve” into the side of their cars? If so, then how violent should a cop react if he pulls you over for speeding? Maybe a punch in the face instead of slamming your face into the car? People like this guy who let their emotions control their behavior should not be in charge of enforcing the law.

      Agree totally. Yes, he was over the top, but was telling her to get into the car for her own safety. She needed to have her butt kicked. I do not feel sorry for her. When a patrol man tells you to get in the car, your better damn well get into the car, if not, It’s your own damn fault.

      There have also been plenty of cops knifed by people they were asking to cooperate. Which would you rather have? Me, I’m more concerned about the cop. In the end, it’s more important to me that he go home safely, rather than the drunk idiot who endangered other lives.

      By the way, I’ll see your single case of an old guy haing a stroke, and raise you thousands of violent drunks every year!

      I agree… and I’ll add, Thank you to all the GOOD LEOs out there for firing this disgrace to the profession, and I feel this officer should be forbidden ever to work in any form of law enforcement. We put our trust in the LEOs and can not do so unless we know they can be trusted,or that any such behavior will be answered with absolte termination from any related field.
