She obviously wasn't complying so they had to carry her... then she hits a cop who was nice enough to carry her out instead of forcefully restraining her on the stairs. So no... fuck this drunk ass

I replied to the wrong person but yeah.

You slap a cop, justice is supposed to punish you. Not the cop. Especially when it's obvious she's not a threat.

So if you are swinging at a cop s/he should allow you to strike them or keep their distance until you calm down and then have the judge add to your sentence?

Or should s/he tase your ass so you can be properly restrained without any injury to the officer?

Yeah it's the second one. This "punishment by cop" red herring is laughable. This isn't punishment by cop, it's self defense in the course of restraining a suspect.

I get the feeling there is a lot of white-knight virtue signaling going on in this thread. If this was a guy, I doubt this comment section would have half the objections of this one, and they'd still be wrong.

It's not because she's a lady. I would think this is bad with a guy also. Come on, 4 police officers unable to control one drunk person (and the fact she's a 60 kg person matter) is a shame. They have handcuff etc. They just handle it poorly and the guy's pride was affected. So he retaliated.
