When a female is assaulted by her own
friend at a Florida resort, the
responding officer gets way more than he
bargained for. She walked over her
coming from that way and just caught me
upside the head with a cup. Like
literally caught me and that was all and
she fell off. I don't know where she
went or whatever, but I don't I don't
feel safe. Give me a second. So, what'
you see? I picked up this young lady
right here for one night. you all
talking to the friend and all of a
sudden the other young lady, I don't
know if it's her partner or roommate or
whatever, she came running up, give me a
ride, and then she started berating this
girl. The blonde girl braiding the other
girl? No, the darkhaired girl. This lady
was a complete angel. You witnessed it.
Oh, yeah. Where were there when you got
hit? She was sitting right there.
Darkhaired girl was making such a scene
and I said, "Okay, I'll take you back
and you can go to the pool and get
yourself." And I was dropping her off.
She walked down that walkway trying to
get the pool and she says, "I don't know
where the I'm going." And the girl just
threw the cup, hit her in the face. The
cup top went over there and some of the
drink hit my leg. Okay. Thanks. All
right. So, what do you want to do about
what you said?
Just cuz that's very disrespectful and I
don't put up with that. Out of nowhere,
the dark-haired suspect returns to the
scene and hops in the back of the golf
cart. What's your name? Josie.
Hi, Josie. I'm Officer Kai from the
Beach Police Department. You got your ID

As the arresting officer writes his
report in his vehicle, the other officer
finds an interesting item while
searching Jos's belongings. I get out
goddamn death. Yeah, that's what I took
off of her waistband.
You
mother. I'm getting you, Bonnie. After I
get out of your dead. What's your name,
officer? What's your
name? You have to tell me your name, you
stupid [ __ ]
[Music]
Now, of course, I've handcuffed many
dangerous people, but when someone's
screaming, fighting, and possibly off
their meds, that's entirely a different
kind of danger. Now, calls like this can
be a complete nightmare for police.
Because think about it, they're walking
into a beautiful resort, but they're
immediately met with a story of an
assault, and the officer has no clue
what he's going to have to deal with.
Now, at this point, the call actually
got really dark for me. And even I
didn't see this coming because the
officer is not only dealing with a
distraught victim, he might be dealing
with an aggressor with an unstable mind.
Cuz on many occasions, police do have to
deal with violent, mentally ill people.
But I have asked myself, do they even
really know what's going on? Because
their reality can be extremely different
than ours. Now, the officer had no
choice but to take Josie down because
she did get violent. But when you're
face to face with someone who's probably
terrified themselves, you do feel a
different kind of pressure because you
do have to be tactical and keep the
victims and yourself safe. The officer
also has to do its best to try not to
cause further damage to someone who's
probably already broken. And make no
mistake about it, Josie was dangerous
and officers never want to use force.
However, with that said, when a person
like Josie is throwing punches and
threatening lives, there's no time to
call for a mental health team. Officers
have to deal with the threat
immediately. And finding that knife
wasn't just evidence, it was a warning.
Because if the officers had waited and
failed to act quickly, this could have
ended violently for everyone. Lastly,
and be real with yourself, if this was
you and you walked into this resort and
had to deal with a situation like this
and the aggressor had a knife within
reach, would you try to talk him down or
would you act fast and make sure that
everyone made it out safe? Cuz officers
do deal with this on a daily basis.
Josie was charged with trespass after
warning. Simple battery. Battery on a
law enforcement officer, resisting with
violence and threats to law enforcement.
She is innocent unless proven guilty in
a court of
