A pedestrian was in a hurry, and he crossed the street in the middle of the block rather than walking to the corner
crosswalk. A police officer stopped the pedestrian and asked
to see his driver's license or identification card. The
pedestrian did not have either. When he told the officer this,
she said, "All right, I'm taking you in for jaywalking," and
seized the pedestrian's wrist, twisting it up and behind him in
a personnel control lock. A black belt in judo, the pedestrian
easily slipped the officer's grasp. The officer pulled her baton
from her belt and attempted to strike the pedestrian, who
moved swiftly to the side, chopped at her arm, and caused
the baton to fall from her grasp to the pavement. At that
point two other officers arrived on the scene and arrested the
pedestrian.
