Do you realize that the person she hit was a police officer, who has a duty to serve the public beyond that of average people, and one of those duties is to not aggressively haul off on those you are sworn to protect because they lightly tapped you in a clearly intoxicated state?
Police should NOT use excessive force unless it is absolutely necessary for their own safety or the safety of others, period. It is not the job of a cop to teach people "lessons," it is their job to protect people.
There requirement for proportional response (in other words she can do whatever and he can never do anything) only comes up when feminists are defending violent women.
It doesn't apply between two men.
We really need to educate women about their privilege and get them to check it.
You realise the amount of misogyny in this post right?
She's terrible, yes, but this post is just soaked in woman hatred. You cannot just clock people in the face and no, you would not "deserve" it at all. Please reconsider seeing violence as appropriate punishment or conduct for any non-life threatening situation.
“I can hit her because she hit me” literally only works on the playground. What’s the cop’s consequence? Should he get punched by a pro boxer? Hit with a club?
"I think criminals and cops are literally the same thing! They're both like kids on the playground. Sure, one broke the law, and the other's job is enforcing the law, but hey... same thing!"
He's a cop, dipshit. He's under zero threat, he should simply restrain her and bring her in. Instead he flips his shit and continues the police's proud tradition of demonstrating why they need reform so badly.
The point is any time men on here see a woman hit a man they turn it into a gender or feminist issue when it's neither. Unless she was at a feminist rally or was protesting for a female based cause, there was no reason for that poster to make it about "equal rights". There's nothing political in this video, it's someone hitting a cop. That's all you need to see it as, you don't need to point out she's female as if that somehow changes anything. She was out of line, he was even more out of line. A punch like that can kill someone and it was not in self defence.

Female privilege enables women to hit and usually get away with it. That's obvious.

Well there are a number of feminists here defending her right to hit him and not face any retaliation.
Also feminists have fought to explicitly make violence by men towards women more legally significant than vice versa.
Feminism strongly supports this double standard and should be called on it.

It absolutely does. If this were a drunk guy and everything else was the same no one would much care. That would be normal.
She was out of line, he was even more out of line. A punch like that can kill someone and it was not in self defence.
My goddess women are delicate flowers if a single punch will kill them.
Ok violence against women is forbidden since they're weaker then children. But they can't then also claim to be strong individuals who are equal and don't need no man.

As far as I'm seeing she was punched directly in the face. Where's the female privilege?

No one is defending her "right", they are saying it is not reasonable force for a cop to respond to a light slap with a massive punch.

This is not the point I was making. There's no feminism or female privilege in this gif so bringing it up is off topic. This is a PERSON wrongfully hitting a cop and the cop responding to the extreme. BOTH people are wrong.

It would become a race issue, you know better than that.

Again I said "kill someone" but you turn it into a gendered thing. Men and women can die from a single punch.

You're so dogged down in misogyny, you're not even reading my post coherently.

If you say men shouldn't ever be allowed to retaliate and support a legal system which allows the women to hit men and face no punishment in effect you're defending her right to hit men.
I've yet to see a feminist lament the unfair discrepancy in how we treat inter gender violence in that women get a total pass (they will whine that we're too lenient on men).
This is not the point I was making. There's no feminism or female privilege in this gif so bringing it up is off topic.
We all live under the effects of the laws and cultural norms pushed in part by feminism.

It's a woman hitting a man. The gender matters.
If both were men people would say he was a dumbass who deserved. And you lot would be talking about the racial angle instead.
It would become a race issue, you know better than that.
Bingo.
If she were a he suddenly he would be the aggressor, not the victim.
Funny how that works.
Again I said "kill someone" but you turn it into a gendered thing. Men and women can die from a single punch.
They can also die from a few beers.
Or just standing there from an aneurysm.
Not likely though.
You're so dogged down in misogyny, you're not even reading my post coherently.
Funny how using your own logic come across as women hating.

Who said men can't ever retaliate? In self defense, anyone should. This is not self defense, nor it is reasonable force. Clearly men can and do retaliate, hence the punch.

Spend a lot of time arguing with feminists, do ya? Women do not get a total pass, otherwise this woman wouldn't have been punched. Otherwise reddit wouldn't get off on the constant wave of gifs/videos of women being hit back. Step out of delusional world and come into reality.

Again completely off topic.
It's a woman hitting a man. The gender matters.
Why? It doesn't matter at all lmao stop nitpicking.
If both were men people would say he was a dumbass who deserved. And you lot would be talking about the racial angle instead.
And whose problem is that? The people who choose to make it gendered. So stop making it a gendered issue. It's not. No one is saying she shouldn't have been punched because she's female. They're saying she shouldn't have been punched because police shouldn't punch anyone in the face, and it's not using reasonable force. He's not doing his job properly, forget that she's a woman. The biggest mistake was none of these cops handcuffed her.
They can also die from a few beers. Or just standing there from an aneurysm. Not likely though.
You like moving away from the topic, don't you?
Funny how using your own logic come across as women hating.

Doesnt matter the gender. It takes four cops to get her drunk ass under control and she still hits a cop twice. No, not on his time.
