Naw dude. He punched her with his baton.
I went to college to become a cop and was a Sheriff Explorer for 4 years.
I was trained on riot control and attended trainings when the Sheriff Dept. trained.
If you have ever been punched, that’s one thing.
Try taking a punch with a baton. Can’t tell if he connected to her jaw but, if he did, that action breaks things and is totally unlawful to perform.
He is only allowed to engage the torso and legs and even then he has a ROE. Think Rodney King.
They beat that man mercilessly about the head and elsewhere.
Inhumane, under the color of law, amoral and unlawful.
Not illegal but, it is unlawful.
This is the same crap that happened at UMass Amherst the week before St. Paddy’s Day. Students were leaving peacefully and the Riot Cops caused the riot.
