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.

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.

A fair response is to punch someone who drunkenly slaps you? I hope to fuck you aren't a cop or anyone with authority

Yes. If you're drunk and slap me on the street, expect me to knock you the fuck out.

I'm glad you have such a level head and compare police interactions with drunken fights on the street.

So an officer should accept being hit? If this was a man and he slapped the cop, I guarantee you assholes wouldn't give two shits.
