When it takes four officers to apprehend a jaywalker a very tiny jaywalker at that how do you defend your department s actions? Well, if you re the Austin police department, you try several diversionary tactics ranging from bad to horrendous.
Here s the setup. A Texas woman out jogging boldly crossed the street far from the lawful corners. This attracted the attention of two Austin PD officers who yelled at her to stop. When she failed to submit to their authority (most likely because she would have assumed that [if she even heard it over her earbuds] like any other person crossing the street shouts of Austin police! Stop! were intended for someone doing something much more dangerous/criminal), they stepped up their pursuit, ultimately grabbing her arm and demanding she provide some identification.
