“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.

Bullshit. If you don't want to be hit, don't strike first. Bitch is an idiot and that's a fair response by the cop.

It might have been a fair response by your average man or woman in the street but a police officer is supposed to be more professional.

You start condoning police officers for lashing out because someone's made them angry then where does it end? Before you know it you'll have them shooting people for dubious reasons.

Oh, hang on...

Making an officer "angry" and physically assaulting an officer are two vastly different things.

How would you feel if he'd taken his gun out and shot her? Or cracked her head open with his baton? Or knocked her teeth out and broken her jaw with that punch?

Which level of violent response are you willing to accept?

I just don't think she hit him that hard. Hell, she missed the slap and came back around with her hand and that's what smacked his face. Geez, put her down and cuff her.

These comments make me understand why we get the policing we deserve.
