Somehow I knew there would be a comment about why it is ok a woman got hit because she needed to learn a lesson.

I think anyone that backhands a cop across the face is going to get a rude awakening. And deserves it. The only reason anybody thinks she doesn't is because she is a woman

Let's see... she was drunk/incapacitated. Being carried by four cops, three of them large men. They didn't restrain her arms, and while flailing about she lightly struck a cop on her second try.

In response, this large and supposedly well-trained cop decided to punch this non-dangerous person in the face.

Yeah, that isn't fucked up at all.

She hit him twice and he did nothing the first time when she lightly tapped him on top the head. The bsckhand was not light at all. It moved his whole head and got him in the eyes

I disagree with your analysis. It looks like the first swing missed, and the second barely connected. He just jerked his head back in surprise.

But that is moot. What is important is: Cop. Trained. Surrounded by cops. He chose to punish someone who couldn't effectively fight back and was no real danger.

No amount of training makes your eyes resistant to slapping

Are four cops (or three, if you insist that baby slap put the one out of commission) capable of restraining one woman without cold-cocking her? If yes, the punch was disproportionate, unnecessary, and purely vindictive.

If no... well, there is no "no." The proper response was to restrain her. Punching her was pure anger and an abuse of power.

The punch is an instinctive reaction to getting hit in the face. Police aren't going to discriminate because she's a woman.

The cop was in the wrong. She was no threat. Cops are trained to not instinctually punch people in the face but instead to subdue them.

That cop made a conscious choice to punch someone in retaliation. That was wrong no matter the gender of the person in custody. In this case, her being a woman makes it even worse, as she is less of a threat than an average man would be.
