If the cop is doing something wrong, I would hope people would step in and do what is right. If the cops can't do what is right, then it is up to the people to step in. Putting your hand on someone is not a physical assault. That cop should get the shit kicked out of him for slapping her...and she was right to attack back. Just because you have a badge doesn't give you a right to be a jackboot. The problem with the system lies in that people like this asshole forget that they work for us. Period.

Police are not untouchable. You don't physically interfere with a cop. ever. period. Take a picture, make a video, gather witnesses, but don't physically assault an officer ESPECIALLY when they're trying to arrest someone! I'm pretty shocked anyone would disagree with that. And if you do, the cop has ever right and legal power to shut you down. Now, could things have been optimized? Probably. But I'm sure as hell not going to armchair-cop the situation from behind my keyboard. Seriously dude, that lady physically assaulted him while he was trying to arrest someone and you're going to second-guess him? Maybe he also didn't have a sharp enough crease in his uniform. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:336990 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
