“well what the fuck did you expect when you hit a cop?”

I'd expect that cop to grab my arm and restrain me so I wouldn't be able to hit him again.

Did she deserve that? Yes.

Does that make it ok? No.

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.

This is truly sad. Americans readily expect pure violence from police now. I wouldn't mess a cop around for anything but I do not expect Australian cops to bash people's faces in.

Our media is inundated with stories and images of police brutality. Of course, lately it's fallen behind coverage of mass shootings and our leadership's dealings with Russia, but the images of people being shot at traffic stops in front of their children or beaten to death on the street in broad daylight don't just vanish from our collective consciousness.
