She deserved it.
She deserves several more, as long as she continues attacking the officer.
Given today's violent “women” running around, the officer was correct in his response. While it goes against my gentleman ethos, sadly the fact is we have a violent female animal class out there, insisting upon acting like male animals and they should be dealt with accordingly. Can't be claiming 100% equality, insist women can do every job a man can do (like combat), but yet, expect and demand special treatment when acting violently.
By grabbing the officer what did she think was going to happen? Sheesh, she is an idiot.
So its OK for the cop to hit her, but she can’t defend herself? I hope the book is thrown @ that asshat (him not her).
