Probably not, it's hard to tell if they actually had the second cuff on, she was resistive, threatening verbally, you can't see what happens right before that, did she kick, spit, etc? Yeah, we going hands on.
I mean I don't personally give a shit. Drunk deserved a lot more, but you can tell by the male cop's reaction it was not needed and resulted in him ending up on the ground. She was pissed and decided to throw some licks in for fun.

The same cop has a history of arresting for "cursing in public" (even though he does it himself).


Ellwood City Borough Council unanimously voted to demote and suspend, but not dismiss, police Sgt. Robert Magnifico during its meeting Monday night.

Magnifico was demoted from sergeant to patrolman and suspended without pay for 10 days, effective immediately, after he was shown on video pushing a man in a confrontation June 6 inside the borough’s Sheetz store.

Ellwood City Borough Council unanimously voted to demote and suspend, but not dismiss, police Sgt. Robert Magnifico during its meeting Monday.
Magnifico is also tasked with completing courses on anger management and de-escalation within six months, as approved by Mayor Anthony Court.
This follows an investigation into Magnifico’s actions during the 1 a.m. June 6 incident.


After the meeting, Court, who heads the police department, said he could not divulge into the decision-making for the punishment, citing personnel reasons. Borough Solicitor Ryan Long advised council not to make any statements on the matter either.
“I believe the discipline is fair and hopefully we can move forward as a community, keep doing the wonderful things we have accomplished here in Ellwood City,” Court said.


Long said Magnifico used personal days from June 6 to June 13, and was on paid administrative leave from June 13 to 16 while an investigation and Loudermill hearing were held.
In the 39-second video posted online, Magnifico is seen pushing and yelling at a man who was yelling profanities at Magnifico, with another person filming.
Police were dispatched for a call of disorderly conduct from the man shown in the video, who was trying to get his phone back from Sheetz employees and later police.
In the video, Magnifico is heard saying, “Understand this, son. I’m not going to put up with your s--t. Understand who you’re talking to. I’m not going to put up with your crap. I told you to quit yelling and screaming. You’re not allowed here. Leave.”

Prior incident:

Mayor examining allegations against two Ellwood City officers

ELLWOOD CITY -- Mayor Anthony Court met Friday with a Patterson Township man who alleges that two Ellwood City police officers used excessive force against him in an incident March 5.
Perry Malcolm released a phone video of his encounter with two Ellwood City police officers last week to the Beaver Countian online news outlet. That video, in which many of the images were obscured, includes sound recordings of the police encounter with Malcolm.
Court said he was gathering information on the incident, but said there was no timetable for a release of findings.
"There's so much involved in this case and it takes time," the mayor said.
Malcolm said he was "generally satisfied" after the meeting. While Malcolm is still considering legal action, he said that he is waiting on the outcome of Court's investigation.
"I don't really want anything monetary-wise," Malcolm said. "I just want to make sure this doesn't happen again."
According to a criminal complaint filed March 5 with District Judge Jerry G. Cartwright, Malcolm met with Patrolman Matt Kennedy just before 6 p.m. March 5 to discuss a parking ticket Malcolm had received. The audio portion of the recording indicates that Kennedy told Malcolm he would have to speak to Lt. David Kingston, the department's operations supervisor and highest-ranking uniformed officer.
Kennedy also said Kingston was not on duty that day, a Sunday. The recording shows that Malcolm swore twice at Kennedy, and the officer responded that the cursing would result in a disorderly conduct citation.
A short time later, about three minutes into Malcolm's video, which is nearly seven minutes long, a second officer -- identified in the criminal complaint as Patrolman Robert Magnifico -- joined Kennedy.
Magnifico told Malcolm that it was illegal to swear in a public place. The American Civil Liberties Union Pennsylvania asserts that there are no laws against swearing in public and has won lawsuits in state appellate court to that effect.
The sound on Malcolm's video indicates that the discussion between him and the two officers became increasingly heated until police moved to take him into custody, using a Taser in an attempt to subdue Malcolm.
He said one of the officers told him to turn around, but he couldn't comply with that order because the other officer was holding him down.
Malcolm can be heard on the video yelling for the officers to stop shocking him, as an officer responds by demanding that Malcolm let go of the Taser. He said the Taser shocks were forcing his hand to contract, which prevented him from releasing the device.
"In my mind, I didn't push anybody, I didn't swing at anybody," he said.
Malcolm was charged with disarming a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.
Court said the Lawrence County District Attorney's office dismissed the felony disarming and misdemeanor resisting arrest charges after witnessing Malcolm's video.
The mayor said he is still reviewing reports, Malcolm's video and a borough surveillance video during the incident and that Ellwood City Solicitor Edward Leymarie is advising his office on procedures for his examination of the incident.
"My initial impression is that this could have been avoided," Court said. "This never should have gotten to my desk."
