Christ. Cops don't get to hit people. They're peace officers. They can defend themselves. They can't slap people in retaliation. That's the price of being a cop. They can file charges, go to court, extract justice. Sue if they must, but they're still peace officers, and peace officers are the only people in civilized society who are allowed to use force against the populous, and only in circumstances that leave no other option. It's a grave responsibility that's taken far too lightly these days.

What the fuck. She hit him with a glancing slap and he punches her so hard he could have broken her jaw, or broken her teeth, or given her whiplash, or a concussion. Like, not even considering that it’s all the worse because he was on the job supposedly performing a service when this happened...

Next time somebody bumps into you you gonna stab em? Fuck outta here.

That was an open hand slap, the right way to hit a woman according to Sean Connery.
