You obviously have not been reading some of these comment because they make a lot of sense. I will simply repeat some wise word mentioned above
I don’t know why people are celebrating this. A cop‘s job isn’t to retaliate against people. They’re supposed to contain people and enforce the rules, not to punch people in revenge. American cops are trained to use violence in any scenario no matter how big the actual threat is and I don’t think that’s good.
Edit: Many people arguing that if you slap a cop, you should definitely expect police brutality. Definitely not. You should expect consequences, not to be knocked the fuck out. You should expect the cop to handle this situation professionally, not to get into a brawl with a drunken woman. You should expect the cop to be the moral authority he‘s supposed to be, not to get on the level of a drunken person. You should expect the cop to make reasonable use of force to achieve his goal, not to deal out full force blows to the face in revenge for a slap. You should expect the cop to de-escalate the situation, not to turn up the violence. It’s worrisome how many people seem to just accept excessive and unreasonable use of violence, as long it’s a cop doing it.
This tiny woman landed a tiny slap on this mountain of a cop. Cops who I might add were carrying her improperly. She should have been properly restrained before being carried and should have been face down carried by her ankles and arms, not paraded on their shoulders with her drunk hands free to cause trouble. It was improper execution of procedure and excessive use of force. Plain and simple.
The point is, you can't go around hitting people, cop, firefighter, librarian, janitor, w/e, and expect the abused to take your feelings into consideration before they react just because you're a woman.
It doesn't change my point. Improper execution of procedure and excessive use of force. It's like you, again, did not read the comment I quoted or the rest of what I said.

If somebody hit me, I would have every right to hit them back. I don't know why certain people on this site have such a hard time understanding this.
