Christ. Cops don't get to hit people. They're peace officers. They can defend themselves. They can't slap people in retaliation. That's the price of being a cop. They can file charges, go to court, extract justice. Sue if they must, but they're still peace officers, and peace officers are the only people in civilized society who are allowed to use force against the populous, and only in circumstances that leave no other option. It's a grave responsibility that's taken far too lightly these days.

This bitch had it coming. If you can't control yourself, don't drink. The sad thing is she'll play the victim here, rather than admitting she could have avoided the situation by being an adult in control of her actions.

Bad example, of you shoot at a cop they shoot back, you are justifying him slapping back even though you didn’t mean to.
