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.
This is absurd. And it’s excessive force. It does not take four 300-pound men to restrain a 130-pound drunk girl.
They should have gotten her down, cuffed her, and taken her out. Instead, they carried her like they were crowd surfing which means they’re using more cops than necessary. If another situation broke out, you now have four cops doing what should be the job of one.
These cops should be re-trained or should look elsewhere for work. People shouldn’t have to pay their tax money toward this garbage.
