He pitches the woman to the ground, dangerously close to what appears to be a concrete kerb, before his subordinates and a civilian intervene, preventing further harm to the fete patron.

The public reacted with outrage, with many residents and members of the Diaspora calling for an investigation and for the inspector to be terminated.

  1. Feel karma play them shoulda execute you for u dunce play u feel caz u hab likkle stripes u can do wat the fuck u want to do…
    U buss me chin with u gun for nothing an still carry me court and lie to the judge an mek me haffu a pay court money…..
    To sorry dem nuh kill u fatthinkingskunt,!!!

  2. What’s a transfer? You think his pay is affected? Bout karma, karma my foot. The firl should still be getting pushed.

  3. Has the officer even been informed of the transfer? What an administration! Anyways…..I do hope that at some point the person who shared the video clip shares the entire video. Where all would see her slapping and cursing the officer after repeatedly being spoken to. Then moving on to doing the same to the other officers before they could finally get her to move from the front of the stage after jumping the fence.

    Further, the civilian who this article states intervened to assist was called upon by the same officer to jump over the fence to speak to her so that she could stop the abuse. The officer did this because he said that she was his cousin. If you ask him, he’ll tell you that he could not control her and so she continued with her brawl. Saying things like, who the f%$k do you think you are and do you know who I am? She made it quite clear that she was not going to be moved by any officer. So she continued to fight with them all.

    All she had to do was just go back over the fence like she was asked.

    Then y’all wonder why the police not working? It’s because of edited videos like these used to portray them negatively to society.

    Ok ok…bye!

  4. If dem nar fire de wans dat shat an kill wan innocent man dat min ah run way fram dem, aru tink dem goh fire he fu wan push?
    Y’all don’t understand the corruption that lives & breeds in these types of institutions.

  5. she was disrespectful kicking and hitting the police man so excessive force was necessary are you woman love size up to man and put are you hand on them then when they jam blow im are you rass you wanna play victim are you mds😠

  6. She needs to be charged with battery against a police officer. He threw her down on the grass after she had apparently been very difficult. Just unfortunate it was close to a the concrete. Yes, he could have been a little more careful but from what it seems he had already been vary patient

  7. That’s a very bad move the head of prosecution is the best in the organization. Morgan was there and he didn’t make any sense so send him bk to do what like really. The prosecution dept is already short staff. There is not another like the head of the unit anyway to each his own.

  8. I mean I dont think he should of been moved from his position but I think he should of gotten a reminder from the Commissioner to control his anger. He could of caused her serious injury or worse. She was out of control but there were enough officers there to assist him there was no need to push her like that. Yes dealign with drunk people can be frustrating but control your temper Officer it’s all part of the job…
