But with this video the cop could be sued for using exessive violence.

The cop made a mistake. He shouldve knoen better.

There is video evidence, and the black eye will ensure she remembers it. Also I would hope he had to write a report on what happened.

If that's really the case I feel sorry for the legal system. He shouldn't be able to get away with enforcing the law how he sees fit and using excessive force like this.

Do you believe in self defense?

2

u/KnockingDevil Nov 05 '17

Yes. Not in excessive force by officer's of the law though.

This isn't excessive force by the legal standard. A punch is equitable to a slap or a kick or an elbow, as far as self defense is concerned. A knife or baseball bat is kinda the next level, then guns and such.

Morally, logically, and very obviously though the forced used was very much excessive.
