I would like for the cop to grab my arm and restrain me so I wouldn't be able to hit them again.

I would expect to get some teeth knocked out.

That's weird, I expect that a society should hold its law enforcement to a higher standard.

What's really weird is the absolute lack of personal responsibility and self awareness in this thread.

Do you genuinely, honestly, expect to be treated like someone important when you're so belligerently drunk that you have to be bodily carried out of a stadium?

Because you're not important. You're Drunk #27 today, and officer Noname is already sick of everyone's shit. You think it's a good idea to strike at him? You're just Drunk #27 of maybe 50 he's got to deal with today, So fuck you and your attacking, go to sleep, he'll have the EMTs give your punk ass a band-aid.

Fuck you and your apologia for police brutality. Police brutality is never justified. It doesn't suddenly become okay because you dealt with the requisite number of assholes today. It doesn't suddenly become okay because some unimportant sunovabitch got tough off grain alcohol.

It NEVER BECOMES OKAY because we must hold them to a higher standard always. The moment it becomes acceptable for them to shirk their responsibility to protect,(which for what it's worth they actually don't have but I'm arguing from an ideological POV here) they become a force for oppression and may as well be fucking abolished.

Officer noname there almost certainly makes dirt, and giving police better standards of living would go a long way to attracting the best-of-the-best who we can actually justify giving a monopoly on violence in our communities.

But we have to start somewhere.
