A Baltimore police officer has been suspended after a video showed him punching a woman and knocking her out after she confronted another officer.
The police department said on Saturday that Commissioner Michael Harrison has also ordered an investigation of the incident.
The video, posted on social media, shows a black woman confronting a white police sergeant in a downtown intersection on Friday night. When the sergeant grabs the woman's arm, she strikes the sergeant twice on his head.
It was then that another officer, who is black, coldcocks the woman from behind and appears to knock her out cold.

I heard a rumor that Gunner is working to fix up the ranch that he inherited last year.
Why it got to be ribs, nukka?
HA! Bump!
Not really. In Seattle they stood by as well as in other cities. BTW - how about a bit of decorum? It’’s not necessary to hurl insulting swear words at women.
Try not making blanket statements about all cops in all cities, sweetie.
I didn’t.
Of course you did.
Here’s you: Cops will now hold back from doing anything.
Obviously, that’s not true. All cops are not going to hold back and do nothing. But you want to argue now that you didn’t say what you did. If you had said that Seattle cops will hold back and do nothing, I would’ve agreed.
Carry on, sweetpea.
They even call it “winning the ghetto lottery”. I am not kidding.
I just read an update: The officer will not be charged.
“Im leaning to the cop knocking the ghettopottamus out,...”
Would have been more entertaining if he would’ve tased her lard azz.... flopping around on the pavement, losing control of her bladder, etc...
Also needs to be a list of Darwin Award winners and subsequent voting.
Guess you have a problem not reading about other cities where cops didn’t do anything; a bit selective aren’t you.
I was being sarcastic.
Kind of. How would you handle a woman who was attacking your buddy?
Would you come up behind her and punch her out?
I was trying to get a rise out of those who say “you are not a man if you EVER!!!! put your hands on a woman”
I guess there must be exceptions?
(I would've put a sarc tag on your post - you attracted a bit of flak).
To answer your question: In a "normal" situation, no probably not unless I was unable to restrain her and the situation was out of hand.
In the riot like that cop did......"I don't fault him," is all I'll say.
When it comes to rioting - If you're going to get in the mix, watch out for the blender.
Shoot. I’d of knocked her ass out too.
And been crucified.
