Is a punch in the face acceptable to help make an arrest in that situation?
I have to say I might not take getting hit so well over something I didn't do. I'd get dogpiled by the cops, but that one would be under me at the bottom of the dogpile, and I'd be a felon. |

He should be fired immediately.
And put in charge of the union workers at the convention center.

We can only thank God that the courageous officers of the PPD maintained law and order that day; that the thin blue line that stands between us and utter savagery was held by those heroes. I don't even want to think of what would have happened if the police were not present; that young lady, who did nothing, might not have been punched in the mouth and hauled off in cuffs. Is that the kind of world you want for your kids? I didn't think so. |

If a cop can deck you a midst hundreds of people without anyone doing more than pulling out cameras... you get the gov you deserve.

What would you have had the public do? Mob justice? Think about the outcomes of what you are suggesting. The last thing anybody wants is MORE us vs. them mentality between the police and the public, and both sides have a responsibillity to de-escalate things and handle them as peaceably as possible. This isn't Pakistan where we go burn down a neighborhood over a rumor, we handl shit in the courts here. |

In on one
Puerto Rican vs Obamas Brother? Is that a hate crime? |
|
Well it looks like someone will be getting payday at the expense of the taxpayers again.

Does the white shirt mean that he is a officer, a Lt or Capt, if so, way to lead.

Haha... Dumb bitch got what she deserved. She broke Rule #1- never invite the man into your life. John |

Actually it was her, it just wasnt only her. If you watch her during the first few seconds shes circling the police and throwing water on them. You can see someone else mostly out of camera shot also throwing water. ETA for clarity: the punch was definilty an overreaction though. |

This isn't Pakistan where we go burn down a neighborhood over a rumor, we handl shit in the courts here. I am not suggesting mob violence. What I am suggesting is that if a cop has no fear of any repercussions for cold cocking a person in the middle of a crowd, the battle is already lost. A check? WTF does the cop care how much tax payers shell out for his stupidity? Given its Philadelphia, he probably gets to keep his job too. No real consequences. |

In before the "if she wasn't there she wouldn't have been hit"
I hope she gets paid and he gets charged. I doubt that will happen though. |

Guess you could say she assaulted him first . I do know of a individual who was charged with assault on a peace officer for spitting Mac & Cheese on him.
|
|
Upon closer examination it appears she walked into his fist..
Edit: Hence she assaulted him. |

Did she even throw the water or booze?
ETA: I see the above post where she squirted something at the cop. Was that mace? |

Maybe the cop is a Muslim and hitting a woman is perfectly ok under Sharia Law?

Quoted:
Is a punch in the face acceptable to help make an arrest in that situation? Nope. "Soft hands" (grabbing her) would have been justified. Punch to the face? Not unless she upped her level of resistance. Politically incorrect statement time: White girl gets punched in the face by black cop in a white shirt (typically indication of a supervisor) = nothing to grandstand on MSNBC about. There's nothing for the Al Sharptons of the world to gain from this incident, so it's unlikely to have any legs. |

It's simple really; if you want to be treated like a woman, act like one.

After the assault, you can see them disperse, there is no one in cuffs and no civilians amidst the officers. |

Philly, keeping it classy as usual. That was bullshit, guy deserves to have his ass kicked. She did nothing wrong that I could see. Hopefully she will be well compensated for the thuggery.

Quoted: So shooting her would have been cool too? That punch would be considered deadly force if done to the cop or from one private citizen to another. If the officer's problem solving abilities and propensity for violence are on the level shown on the video he isn't fit to work in contact with the public, much less be a cop. Cops were making a arrest and she, and others, are attempting to interfere, incite, or lynch, the suspect. Fuck her. John ETA: Charge her with disorderly, malicious mischief, interference with LEOs, or disturbing the peace. Walking up to her when she isn't combative or resisting and punching her in the back of the head with enough force to knock her down is not the correct answer. If it wasn't a cop in uniform most of us would clear leather after observing that. |
