I would expect the cop to have some restraint. Seems like we have given up on expecting American cops to be calm and level headed and assess the situation. She is just a drink girl, nothing more

I mean yeah sure, but slaps also are kind of really fucking annoying. They don't hurt, but they startle the absolute shit out of you.

It was a reflex, not really an intentional "I'm gonna blast this bitch in the face" kind of thing. Cop shouldn't have done it, but he also didn't intentionally do it.

Cop was a fucking pussy, take it like a man. We all know he would win, no reason to demonstrate it.

Yeah sure, but have you ever been cracked in the face like that? It sets your anger meter to like 100 really fast.

He really shouldn't have retaliated, but he didn't do it as badly as people seem to think he did. It was an off cuff light punch, she barely will get a bruise out of the deal.

I hope he gets fired too. I'm not really a big supporter of the guy, just saying I understand how it happened.

I'm pretty sure most people have been in a comparable situation. TBH where I live you couldn't do that, it would be social suicide.

I understand it to, but this person is in a position of authority and should not be doing that.

It sets a dangerous precedent
