So they were arresting her and she refused to come with then, so they dragged her. I fall to see the brutality.

It appears they could have easily picked her up (they're 2 officers, she's a small 16yo girl) but they didn't even try and instead chose to just drag her.

She was thrashing around. Carrying her could easily have resulted in injuries to her or to them.

Picking them up is generally considered even worse than dragging.

"but said she was barely able to stand because of how intoxicated she was." - a direct quote from the 16 year old girl

There's a full video, it doesn't look like an issue to me. She was clearly trying to resist getting moved to the vehicle, and they brought her over there by force. The police say she punched one of them inside the house, which is why they tried to arrest her. There are probably witnesses to that one way or another and it will all get sorted out.
