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.
