You guys really have to look at police training and expand your thought process past “the cop is obviously always wrong.” Should he have let her continue to hit him? Should they have stopped pushed her face into the ground to cuff her? It’s like people don’t realize that you need control over someone who is acting belligerent one way or the other for your and others safety.

They were getting her to a place where they could. You wanna bend down to cuff someone in a crowd of people who you don’t know if they’re as hostile as she is? Did she assault another fan before that? Was there anyone else being restrained? And it was one punch to the face, he didn’t beat her.
