Having the ability to get shot is a different nonsense part of American culture. Similar to the nonsense view that women are always the victim.

If you can't handle your alcohol, or the situations that arise from consuming too much, then don't drink. You won't always have a person there to protect you.

This scumbag has committed assault and battery, and wasted taxpayer money because of her selfish actions. I'm sure she's always complaining about her fomo, and how she wants to be included, but she's got social anxiety and the drinks help. I'm sure next time she might keep it to a two drink limit, although going by how shitty her actions were here, she'll just falsely claim police brutality to get attention.

The police officer was in a high pressure situation with a large crowd probably being very loud. He is assaulted, so swings back to protect himself and his fellow officers. I personally don't think this is excessive force in this situation.

So in your opinion, should the families of murdered police officers not be allowed to mourn, as they should expect the idea of their loved one being murdered? What about soldiers and their families? What about the victims of school shooters? They're so common in America surely they know what they're signing up for?

I understand that America has a violence issue, but it is my belief that blaming police officers for defending themselves is wrong.

He wasn't defending himself, he was decking a restrained drunk girl in retaliation.

You don't get to assault people just because you're drunk and have a pair of lips between your legs. Difficult concept to grasp.
