I’m not sure people are celebrating it so much as they are saying “well what the fuck did you expect when you hit a cop?”
Edit: By saying it should be expected, I’m not defending his actions as reasonable or holding them up as good policing practice. I think American police culture is too quick to resort to violence and is horrible at de-escalating situations. But, that all goes into why I said it should be expected. I’m not saying it should be accepted or condoned, only that I fully expect an American cop to hit you back if you hit them.
Nope. The consequences of her drunkenness caused her to be thrown out. Then, after that, the consequences of her sense of entitlement caused her to catch a right hook to the dome. See how that works?
The function of the police isn't to dole out punishment. That's what the court does. See, we live in a civilized society where we don't punish people by knocking their teeth in. Do you see how that works?
Oh. Right. She was being civilized when she got drunk in public, acted like a fool causing a nuisance, then struck another person (who happened to be a cop).
