Oh No She Didn't!



So yet another instance where the media and the majority of society is going to jump to the idea of "police brutality". Bascially the rule of thumb is this:

If someone is claiming "excessive force" against the police, you ask them this question. "Before the excessive force, what happened?" If the answers are not "he/she was running from the cops" or "he/she was resisting arrest", then I pretty much don't even accept the idea that excessive force happened.

In the above video, punching a teenaged girl in the face with a closed fist, violent? Yes. Did she LAY HER HANDS ON A POLICE OFFICER??? Yes.

Bottom line, if you touch a cop, you deal with the medicine that comes out of it. And if you're going to throw the race card on this, just don't.
