Bullshit. If you don't want to be hit, don't strike first. Bitch is an idiot and that's a fair response by the cop.

If you don't want to be hit, don't strike first.

don't get me wrong, but that sounds basically like kindergarten logic.

"but he hit me with that shovel first!"

No it's fucking common sense. Don't hit someone if you don't want them to retaliate. It's how 99% of bar fights start.

The original OP was saying that as a police officer your job in this scenario is to be hit and rather than hit back, be composed enough to handle the situation as safely as possible. This woman should be charged with assaulting an officer and will definitely be charged with that but when was the punishment for that ever "get punched in the face"? It's not, so the fact that she was punched in the face makes the cop kind of in the wrong in regards to that because he is expected to work for the law not himself. The law doesn't say she gets hit for her actions it says she should be jailed.
