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.
