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.

I created the Gifs from YouTube videos. Because some people don't like to click on links.
Check the definition; "slut" doesn't always refer to sexual activities. Again, the video shows her slutty behavior.
Punch a cop get punched back.
It’s also a felony. Baby’s in big trouble now.
The AP/NYPost spews more FakeNews headlines. The punch wasn't "devastating."
On that I would agree 1000%.
...no black eye....

True, but in your picture it appears her nose is bent to her right. Black eyes clear up on their own ... bent noses not so much.
Well I don’t love seeing women get knocked around but taking a swing at a cop is really Darwin territory. When you hit somebody in the face their natural reaction is to hit back.
Now THAT’S what I call equality. Drunken person assaults cop, gets punched back. Nothing to see here.
Hmmm. Now what forum can women use to take the knee in support of drunken rowdy white woman?
Eviction from the game would have been sufficient, and I imagine in the process she would have incurred additional charges as the officer(s) tried to evict her. That would have been better for the cops.
The punch was the least she should have gotten.
Youd even go on the jury and insist you had it coming!
The girl is guilty of battery on a Police Officer.
The cop is guilty of using excessive force, at least a violation of Department policy. Once outside of policy, he becomes subject to criminal and/or civil charges.
The man on the street does not get to judge what is excessive force. Policy and the law have that privilege.
Because something "feels right" or satisfies your sense of justice does not justify using excessive force. Trust me, This Officer knew he messed up as soon as his fist hit her face. I knew every time I "messed up" and I did, over the course of twenty eight years.
Cops are human and subject to human reactions. Most are justified. Some are not. This one was not.
Matter cleared.
If you look at the video, he hit her with his open hand, not a clinched fist. She is just so drunk she throws herself back in a drunken over react.
And, she slapped him in the face. That is cause under that circumstance for her to be controlled. The only reasonable action was what he did.
Not excessive, not in the least.
You gotta wonder too what the black cop was doing with his hands.
Exactly.
When evaluating a use of force, all factors are taken into consideration. Including the size and weight of both the Officer and the subject. The number of Officers in the altercation, the number of non-combatants in the area. The apparent level of intoxication of the subject. Along with other factors.
This is a clear case of excessive force, despite all the keyboard badass' interpretations.
Self defense means you win.
