MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Police are investigating a videotaped altercation where an apparently intoxicated University of Miami football fan slaps an officer, who then punches her in the head.
[snip]
She flails at one officer and misses, then slaps him in the face. He hits her in the head with his right fist, causing her to crumble in the officers’ arms as she is carried out of camera range.

No problem. Maybe she learned a lesson...don’t raise your hand against LE. She’s lucky a good smack was all she got.
Violently lawless?!
Oh, that’s hysterical!!
No charges filed, lawsuit pending.
Good job, Officer.
You’ve never seen what a woman’s nail (claw) can do to an eyeball. I have. Take my word for it.
I grew up in a world where men did not hit women or they went to jail. The difference back then is that women did not hit men - especially police officers - like the obviously intoxicated woman was doing in that video. It looks like she clocked that policeman pretty good. As a man, my gut reaction when I get hit like that is to hit back as hard as I can and end the threat. I don't think that the woman was acting very ladylike and so unfortunately chivalry got tossed out the window.
It will be interesting to see how this case turns out. Will the police officer lose his badge or be otherwise disciplined? If so, what will happen to the woman, who was obviously resisting arrest and physically assaulting a police officer? A man assaulting a police officer like that is likely to get shot, tased or severely beaten with nightsticks.
In retrospect, the officers should have put that woman in handcuffs and perp-walked her out of the stadium. That would have saved everybody a lot of trouble I think.
Lastly, you have to wonder what would have happened if the police officer was white and the woman was black. Almost certainly this would be a national incident and the usual race-baiters would be coming out of the woodwork and inciting riots across the country.
Yep, not when you hit a cop. During an argument with a long ago girlfriend, she got angry and came up with a right hook I caught with my right hand just before she connected, and said don’t do that. She was shocked I caught her fist, but that ended it.
Which words do you not understand?
Is slapping a cop "non-violent?" Is slapping a cop "lawful?"
Or is it that you also use an assbackward definition of "hysterical?"
Her behavior on the video indicates so.
Again, thanks for the laughs.
Yes. The two man, hands free, piggy back come along is a new one on me.
Looks more he slapped her back, than a punch.
But she was pretty much wrecked already, so it was lights out either way.
Four cops to lift her... damn.
“Self-defense.”
That is how I see it.
I knew a cop who had a lady slapping him while he was off-duty at a sporting event. He told her to stop or he’d call the police. She kept hitting then he identified himself. She kept hitting so he subdued her and let her knowhow serious the charged for assaulting a Federal Agent were.
I think they let her swing in the wind for a few weeks then dropped it.
True.
But, the force of a drunk’s strike is secondary to choosing to hit an officer, at all.
That he was sober shouldn’t be held against him.
I have no problem with what that police officer did, although it might have been a bit excessive, considering she just drunkenly swung an open hand and missed. I guarantee that if the races were reversed.... we would be hearing about it non-stop right now on CNN and MSNBC, and it would be the lead story on the ABC, CBS, and NBC nightly news.
Really? I didn’t see her involved in any type of sexual activity. Point it out to me.
Honestly, I didn’t know some Freeper men were such raging drama queens. It’s eye opening... and comical all at the same time.
She watched too many movies where 90-lb women beat up 250 pound men.
Some of the reactions here make me wonder whether Antifa has infiltrated FR.
Most men, drunk or sober, know better than to take a swing at a cop. If women want to be treated on an equal basis, they’d better learn that lesson fast - their female privilege (to borrow liberal speech) is not going to save them anymore.
