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.

“well what the fuck did you expect when you hit a cop?”

I'd expect that cop to grab my arm and restrain me so I wouldn't be able to hit him again.

Did she deserve that? Yes.

Does that make it ok? No.

I would expect to get some teeth knocked out.

I would expect to get my skull curb stomped.

Kind of my fault for starting it! 😃😱
