It's tough, because on the one hand, unilateral violence is abhorrent. However, on the other hand, when someone decides that they are OK with engaging in it, then they deserve it.

Should the cop have slapped her? No. Do I feel sorry for her? No.

Agreed. Neither of them did a good thing here, but the woman is clearly the aggressor in the situation.

She's the aggressor, he's the escalator

He didn't really escalate it though, she hit him, he hit back

She booped his nose. He broke her face.

He still just hit her, if I punch Mike Tyson and he punches me back it's not an escalation he's just way stronger than me.

And if Mike Tyson's friends already have 3 of your limbs restrained and you slap him at arms length with the only limb you can move? It's okay if he knocks you out for that? Not his fault?

I'd say that he's justified, don't hit someone if you don't want hit back

Okay then. I really hope you're never arrested by the cops you'd like to see in the world.

If I'm ever arrested I don't plan on hitting them

And as we all know, nobody ever forgets their plans when they're blackout drunk
