The girl was wrong on somethings but to use excessive force is not. The article say the officer now knows it could have been handled differently. You can look in someone's eye and see despair or fear. That should have told the officer something, he is trained to look at people actions. Also there was no need to slam her against the car when she was pleading with the officer to let her see her dad. That just plain sounds heartless on the officer's behalf. Would he have wanted to see someone treat his child that way or would he hope that the officer has enough compasion to know the difference between trying to con an officer or being truthful about the situation.
