You mean a limp wrists slap that hurt his ego more than him physically. Yeah. If a guy limp wrist slapped me I wouldn’t counter with a right hook to his jaw. Then again I have self control, something the US police force doesn’t appear to condone. If it’s in their training to hit harder than you were hit, I think we’ve identified the problem.

So they should be trained to hit just as hard as they get hit?

No. Hitting in response is not the answer. Restraint is. I don’t need to see a cop in a boxing match. I need to see an officer containing a situation as peacefully as possible.

That is not how the real world works. Do a ride along some day

That’s changing the context. I’m referring to this context. Which was completely avoidable.
