I’m guessing she may enjoy Elton John and Barbara Streisand albums and experience carpet burn regularly...
She’s white, the officer is black. She loses her case.
Isn’t the rule, “One spit; one hit”?
She was well within spitting distance of the cop. Maybe 18 to 24 inches.
She spit AT him, not on, HE ASSAULTED HER WHILE SHE WAS ALREADY IN HANDCUFFS.
...
But the handcuffs didn’t prevent her from spitting. Getting spit on is dangerous. The officer had a right to defend himself. The fact that she missed one time doesn’t mean she is going to miss the next time.
Shouldn’t have hit her. Should have pepper sprayed her in the face.
“Police are to serve and protect, to be discipline, show restraint, and respect even when not returned.”
Nope. They are there to protect the public, not a violent offender. I wish he’d punched her harder.
You going to defend the Notre Dame player who got worked over by the Jacksonville cops a few years ago? Because his coaches and the university sure didn’t.
Nothing Right About This: Boy Knocks Out Girl After She Spits In His Face (vid's title)
Notice the one teacher who did nothing to stop the girl from attacking him, but told him "you don't hit a girl" after he fought back. Equal protection lawsuit?
Taking things too personally.
I’m with you. I’m from a police family and I know what it takes to get it right.
Police who do this sort of thing are not trained well enough.
We have a lot of hotheads here that say they would punch her.
He should not have punched her. If you’re a well trained person you don’t have to react like that.
Back in the fifties when I was in grade school I used to see a fellow known as BJ who was a WWII vet and wore a patch on one eye. He didn’t lose that eye in the war, he lost it fighting with a peace officer. He gave the cops a really hard time and got hit on the head with a baton which, unfortunately, struck him in the eye. These days they would just shoot him. One of my classmates said BJ told him once, “I’ll bet I’ve been in a thousand fights and never won one.”
I think he must have been the original “Cool Hand Luke”.
This is why I can see why she took one in the chops. It’s stuff like this. Many of those people have diseases you wouldn’t want to get, and hopefully they get prosecuted not only for assault but deliberately infecting another person.
Well the only reason I don’t have a problem with it is because lots of these people are knowingly infected with serious diseases, and a spit in the face can be something far more dangerous than it actually is.
Eggs Ackley. Aids can be transmitted via saliva and in the eyes it has an easy pathway to the lacramose glands. The spitting should be an assault charge at minimum. ... Nothing worse than a belligerent female drunk.
