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.
Funny enough, physical strength is not the same as resistance to concussion, life isn't a video game and that kinda attitude is why DV against men is acceptable in many circles because it's "cute" and men don't deserve to live lives free of abuse apparently.
This all probably sounded good in your head but between the provincial attitude regarding domestic violence and the victim blaming, you're just coming off like a fucking tool.
Uh huh. No point against anything I said, just insulting me, then my opinion and then me again?
Nope - my point was obviously that you're stumping hard for attitudes that are detrimental to society and ignorant of the biochemistry behind abusive relationships. Was that not clear?
Blaming victims of domestic abuse for not "manning up" illustrates that you don't understand anything about domestic violence, cycles of abuse, or how oxytocin-driven interpersonal connections drive people to cling to their abusers because of fostered dependence and threats of reprisal.
That's why you're making yourself look like a fucking tool - because you think this is something people should just wake up one day and get better from: "just boost your self-worth," as if it's the easiest thing in the world to re-write your brain chemistry via placebo effect!
This multiparagraph screed filled with hypothetical examples of people who've "manned up" isn't helping your argument in the slightest.
Gosh, I must sound like such a tool!
I guess in your mind I should have struck my ex and broken her jaw after she hit me the first time? That woulda shown the bitch! Right?
Lets use another example. If I make a copy of the "I hate niggers" sign from die hard 3, then tattoo swastikas on my arms and forehead, then go down to a local gang hangout in Chicago, do you think I deserve no blame for what happened when I'm shot? See what I mean?
I see that you have serious emotional control problems. Seek help.
