Cops are understandably nervous about someone getting grabby with them. Too often they get the cop’s gun out and start shooting.
The video obviously was edited to start where it does, presumably to try to make the cop look bad. From what I can see, he was entirely justified.
My Dad taught me a gentleman NEVER strikes a lady. But if a female person hits you, she ain’t no lady and is fair game for retaliation.
I was taught to say, "Mam, if you make a fist like a man, you are going to be beat like a man". I am up for taking some slaps (never have been), but I'll be damned if I let ANYONE punch me.
