This is the real answer. The cop was not under any duress or wasn't defending himself from an attacker nor fearing for his life in any way. There were like 4 cops carrying this girl. He was well protected and completely outnumbered her. She drunkingly open hand smacks him and he retaliates with a close fist right to the face... Uhhh. Yeah that's fucked up. He isn't drunk so he has no excuse as to his disproportional retaliation. I would say the same thing if the drunk person was a dude. A drunk dude wildly swinging should be detained, not propped up on shoulders so his hands are free to keep swinging. These cops are idiots for how they didn't detain the girl and when she goes for a swing, they retaliate like animals.
