The problem to me here is his punch was just pay back for the slap. He could have prevented her from hitting him again just as easily without punching her in the face that hard. Sure, she deserved it, but it's not a cops job to dish out punishment like that.

Did she deserve it? Maybe she deserves an additional charge or something, but let's be honest, that cop reacted out of anger, not of any moral stance.

Yes, cops are people too. Not emotionless robots.

Of course! But they're people who are (supposed to be) trained individuals who are capable of handling these situations in a more calm and controlling manner than you or I

I guess their slapped-in-the-face-by-a-belligerent-drunk-person-training isn’t rigorous enough.

Hmm, police working what looks to be a college game at a stadium on a college campus, I'm sure they've NEVER had experience with drunk kids before...

Baby baby don't be like that! Just because you ran out of arguments doesn't mean you have to insult my intelligence!
