I can’t believe that a cop would just assault a woman at random. Inability to accept reality is a liberal characteristic.

And the reality is, after watching the video enough times, that she was taunting the cops on the scene and given a lawful order by the cop in charge to come over to him or stand still which she defied by turning to flee the other way. She thought that she was above the law and found out otherwise what can transpire when you taunt the police and then flee when they come to arrest you.

Hey UC what about the first Amendment. Unless she was threatening physical harm to the police or inciting a riot, she has committed no crime. We do have free speech even against the police.

After seeing a better quality video, I agree that she was doing something against the police. She has what looks like an aerosol type can in her hand and at the very beginning she is moving it above her head in a way that's consistent with flinging or spraying the contents toward the police. Then as she moves closer to the camera, someone further to the left sprays something as well, the cops turn around and see her with the can in her hand, and go after her. It's not surprising, in that I think most people voluntarily present at a Puerto Rican day parade are probably scum.

None of this is relevant to my original statement. It's foolish to think that a cop *wouldn't* attack an innocent person. It happens all the time.

You continue to double down on making things up out of whole cloth.

On a video with no sound, you have now heard the woman taunting the cops, have heard her say screw you to the cops, and have heard the cop giving her a lawful order to stop.

All with no sound on the video.

And all this from the man whose initial comments on this thread included “I’m supporting the due process that he denied to the woman. You don’t get punched by a cop on a bunch of unsubstantiated facts.”

And here you are now trafficking in those exact same unsubstantiated facts.
