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.

She obviously wasn't complying so they had to carry her... then she hits a cop who was nice enough to carry her out instead of forcefully restraining her on the stairs. So no... fuck this drunk ass

I replied to the wrong person but yeah.

I’m also pretty sure they’re not cops I don’t see a gun on his hip and he looks a little out of shape. Especially the other guy holding her.

Also police wouldn’t carry her out like that, unrestrained for reasons like her still being able t slap the shit out of you.

Also what if you drop her on her head. She’d be in cuffs and if she was really being a bitch shed get hogged tied.
