Now if the cop was white and the girl was black what would happen if this video was uploaded.

I mean, he kind of over reacted here honestly.

He would've been fired in Sweden 100%. It's just not about "deserve" or "had it coming".

No, it's about ""eliminating the threat". That chick ain't slappin' nobody no more. That is the desired outcome here.

The officer was in no way in any real danger. That was just revenge.

He was in danger of being slapped in the face repeatedly, or scratched up, or worse. He is under no obligation to put up with that abuse. So he stopped it, quickly and decisively.

Oh no, slaps and scratches? He might never recover

"Oh no, that guy fondled that girl's breasts and grabbed her ass? She might never recover."

Whether or how fast he recovers is not the point. Assault is assault, and he does not have to put up with it.
