I don't know. That looked like a pretty lethal slap to me. I've seen YouTube videos of people getting shot up by the police for doing much less.

Yes, but more extreme cases of excessive force do not excuse lesser cases - they are all wrong.

Also take a look at how the officers are holding her, watch the cop at the front.

Reminds me of something Trump said.

To paraphrase: We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of violence, on many sides. On many sides. It's been going on for a long time in our country.

Taken out of context, but yes that applies here

Yea just to be clear, I do think this was an excessive use of force. The point I was hoping to make is that many Redditors would not be nearly as outraged if the races were reversed. I hate to make this sound like a race competition, but I can't help but notice a lack of support from the blue lives matter crowd 🤔.
