His punch was not a proportional response it was violence. That's why it site uneasy with me. A proportional response would be to restrain her hands. The guy is scum.
He shouldn't be charged. If he wasn't a cop what he did would be legal and self defense.
It's more about that the police should have higher standards (not legal standards) than citizens. He should be at best suspended and at worst dismissed from the force. We don't want different laws for cops and citizens. But we do want higher standards on the police force itself.
If that guy wasn’t a cop, he’d be arrested for punching out a girl while 3 of his friends restrained her.
There is absolutely no fucking way that this girl posed a threat to this cop, so self defence is out of the question. The punch was out of anger. It wasnt defence, it was a punishment.
