I've seen similar postings on the list saying that the woman was acting in a
non-threatening manner.

Well... 

Not to excuse the actions of the officers involved, but...

>From the report _I_ saw on the news, the woman STARTED walking calmly along;
but when she saw what was happening, she started to RUN TOWARD the officers,
yelling, "Hey! Waitaminute!" (or some such); followed by what appeared to be
a brief face-to-face discussion with an officer; ending with a 2-handed
billy club shove, up-and-away, which left her on her back.
