She wasn’t in the right state of mind to make any of those decisions correctly

Do you think that absolves her somehow? If I get drunk and go mess with little kids at the park do I get a pass since I couldn’t make the decision correctly to not push over some kids? She chose to put herself in that state, she’s an adult and is responsible for her choices.

The officer is stone cold sober and is in no way threatened

That’s true, until he gets slapped in the face by the person he’s removing from the stadium. It’s no longer a threat though because he was actually physically harmed.

He is paid to make the right choices, not only that but he has taken a position to serve and protect. The only serving he did was a hook to the face of a non threat and to protect his dignity.

Actually he is paid to serve and protect the law abiding fans who aren’t being belligerent, drunk assholes. She is breaking the laws and order he is paid to protect. He’s doing his job by removing her so everyone else who haven’t made bad decisions don’t have to deal with her.

I would absolutely excuse this behavior if he were alone. He had multiple officers in assistance.

The whole point of backup is to prevent her boyfriend and his 6 friends from escalating shit with the officer. In an empty stadium, that cop vs that girl is no problem. In a full stadium, 4 officers prevent anyone else from trying to escalate the situation.

This was purely based on retaliation

Yes, retaliation for her assualting a police officer trying to do his job. He thought she was restrained, she wasn’t and hit him, so he further restrained her immediately. Done.

I’m gonna be honest. I’m not reading your novel. That’s all.

You think you’re right and refuse to even consider that you’re not. You will always feel wronged and slighted in life because you can’t bother to consider a different opinion.

I envy your ability to not think critically and hope someone else teaches your kids.

No that’s not it at all. I’m just not into reading your rebuttal in the form of many small paragraphs. Frankly it comes down to a value of time. We all have points of view and I believe that is what makes us successful as a whole. Just not interested in reading a novel to understand yours.
