I don’t know why people are celebrating this. A cop‘s job isn’t to retaliate against people. They’re supposed to contain people and enforce the rules, not to punch people in revenge. American cops are trained to use violence in any scenario no matter how big the actual threat is and I don’t think that’s good.
Edit: Many people arguing that if you slap a cop, you should definitely expect police brutality. Definitely not. You should expect consequences, not to be knocked the fuck out. You should expect the cop to handle this situation professionally, not to get into a brawl with a drunken woman. You should expect the cop to be the moral authority he‘s supposed to be, not to get on the level of a drunken person. You should expect the cop to make reasonable use of force to achieve his goal, not to deal out full force blows to the face in revenge for a slap. You should expect the cop to de-escalate the situation, not to turn up the violence. It’s worrisome how many people seem to just accept excessive and unreasonable use of violence, as long it’s a cop doing it.
I’m not sure people are celebrating it so much as they are saying “well what the fuck did you expect when you hit a cop?”
Edit: By saying it should be expected, I’m not defending his actions as reasonable or holding them up as good policing practice. I think American police culture is too quick to resort to violence and is horrible at de-escalating situations. But, that all goes into why I said it should be expected. I’m not saying it should be accepted or condoned, only that I fully expect an American cop to hit you back if you hit them.
Agreed. Everyone disagreeing are pussies. Holding cops to such a high standard they would never be able to meet themselves. And it's because it's a woman, that's it.
You should be holding cops to a higher standard than some random asshole on the street. We train them specifically to meet those higher standards, we pay them to meet those higher standards, the responsibility they have as cops is given to them only because we should be able to assume they're be able to handle situations rationally instead of emotionally.
I do hold cops to a higher standard. We saw a 10 second clip and everyone wants to jump on this guys case WHEN HE GOT ASSAULTED. Fuck that bitch. She was obviously a fuckin major nuisance if 1 cop coming up to her wasn't enough and they had to get more. Yeah, she deserves a punch in the face if she assaults a cop. Fuck her. Quit defending child like behavior from women, it's not helping them.
