from further back in the thread the woman claimed assault, which was it seems verified by a witness or two, that undue force was used in restraining her.
...and as we all know in Brazil police brutality is taken very seriously, right? LOL!!

Let's get real here folks, if in Brazil "a witness or two" is all it takes to arrest 2 police officers on the spot their entire police force would be in the monkey house......

And BTW, those 2 Air Marshals should have witnesses of their own as it's reported that they were asked to intervene by the very plane's crew.

I have a very hard time imagining American(/Italian/British/...) cops arresting on the spot a couple of Brazilian police officers handing them over a drunk disruptive American(/Italian/British/...) passenger whom they restrained after being asked to by the plane's crew...
