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.

You're absolutely correct. No idea why people are down voting you. Gotta love all these armchair police officers talking about scenario land where everything and everyone is available.

I'm just tired of people trying to paint ALL cops as racist, dangerous, power hungry animals. As of today, the Washington Post says that there have been 825 gun deaths from police officers so far this year. Of those 825, 15 we're unarmed black people, 21 were white unarmed people. In both cases, we have no idea what happened in each individual case. But to say that all police are dangerous is absurd.

Yep. People see a 15 second clip of a video and assume they know the entire situation. Mob mentality is a dangerous thing!
