Some people just need a punch in the face. She was one of them.

Real Talk.

Why not? Looked like a public service to me.

Because we pay them to do the job in a peaceful, rational manner...because when they lose it people get killed.

Was that girls behavior rational? To charge towards and then put her hands on an officer of the law attempting to subdue someone else at the time?

I don't understand...you seem like a reasonable person sometimes....but you have an almost pathological abhorence to authority.

If you can't see this girl

a) initiated the incident
b) escalated the incident by her repeated refusal to submit and
c) all but DEMANDED some form of physical response from the cop

then that's on YOU...any reasonable person would fully expect to get a harsh slap down from a cop after doing what she did.

Gots to agree.

I'm not a fan of cops over-stepping their boundaries but this guy didn't.

His failure was not taking the first chick down hard enough to subdue her immediately.

Behaviour like that of those two women gets people killed, when they interact with police.

No, only when they interact with cowards.

Again, I'm not defending the women, but we should demand that our police are above that type of behavior.

What response from that officer would have been "non-cowardly" and "appropriate" to that situation, in your opinion?

I'm not trying to start an argument...I'm genuinely curious.
