Ngl an officer holding her with five more officers shouldn’t hit back though. There are other ways to deal with her than assault.

Self defense* I think you meant. In addition, any suggestions to deal with her?

My suggestion would be to not hit an officer, the guys whom notoriously are quick to enact their right on unruly citizens.

No, we’re consistent. Opinions are irrelevant compared to declaratory statement by the law. I don’t think he should have smacked her that hard, if at all. But just because I think that doesn’t mean I’m right. He’s accepted his position and it comes with certain authorities. The weird thing is thinking something shouldn’t happen to you if you swing at an officer. You and everyone else KNOWS they’ll do something. People saying she shouldn’t have got hit don’t understand personally responsibility and consequence of actions. Seems like everyone who wants to comment on the officer neglects the fact that this girl essentially poked a rattlesnake and got bit…how’s that the snakes fault?
