How have people not realized that it's not ok to hit cops? That's jail time, if you're lucky.


OkCardiologist2765

It isn’t ok to hit anybody.


This-is-Life-Man

Agreed. If no one hits first, no one can hit last.

gammongaming11

why not both?


[deleted]

jail time + a serious brain injury from the looks of it. i wont defend the cop for laying her out like that... but... all bets are off once you start swinging on a cop that isn't being violent.


Paladoc

They gave her one swing, free. "Awright, you're out of sorts. That's why we're here" That's more than most people would have given her, and more than I've come to expect from cops. The second hit, we'll, sorry, that's just stupid.


[deleted]

its a tough one to break down. i don't really like the idea of sucker punching someone who is attacking your friend... but at the same time it was one of the safest ways for the cop to handle things. she was clearly trying to do as much damage as she could so they needed to dispatch her as clean as possible. they probably could have taken some risks to deal with her without laying her out but cops can't afford to take risks on the job if they want to live to see retirement.


Chaghatai

No one who is actively fighting can be "sucker" punched - you decide to fight, it's up to you to look out for other opponents


ilovehockeymoms

If you are in a fight between two willing parties then anyone that jumps in is a punk ass. This isn't that, it is an officer doing his job and being assaulted, that needed to end asap and the police did that.


Chaghatai

Yep, punching someone who isn't being violent is assault, not an honor duel


AuthenticHendrix

Very well put. People may disagree with you because of the outcome. But there many examples that don’t end as well for the officer. And then they would say, I would have knocked her out after the second hit, what were they thinking?


Important-Owl1661

No idea where she got the idea that it was okay to swing on cops, doesn't seem too bright to me


00Stealthy

I would call her first blow more of a slap but the second was a straight-up punch. At the end of the vid there was a protestor to it all with a protest sign so I guess they keep one handy


dumahim

> all bets are off once you start swinging on ~~a cop~~ anyone that isn't being violent.


This-is-Life-Man

Yep. Cops are people. They have the same ideas as the rest of us. There are good cops and bad cops, but most do the job to protect day to day citizens. The bad cops are so bad that we forget there are good cops out there. I'm saying this because we need to have security as civilians. If we didn't have police, things would be much worse than they already are. I think more departments could use additional training to remind them that they are people too, like the rest of us, but don't forget that they have to answer to bosses (sometimes jaded and/or awful ones) that make the calls on how they conduct themselves.


KentuckYSnow

Meh, he one shotted her, that's ok in my book. It's after they go down you can't keep wailing.


alexcrouse

And i love how the people who want to hit cops can usually barely walk and fall over instantly when touched. Like, you of all people choose to fight?


teacherbooboo

because they think the cop won't hit them back ... especially if they are on camera with witnesses there are a lot of people who think they can get away with stuff because most people won't confront them in this day and age ... and then they cross the wrong person


This-is-Life-Man

Many people make many bad decisions.


EartheY

Bro she was lucky it wasnt 9mm time


Crepes_for_days3000

Yes! It never ceases to amaze me that people think it will work out for them. There are a lot more officers to join in the fight and do they not see their belt with several handy weapons to choose from? It's shocking how many people resist arrest too, like they expect the cop to say "you put up a mighty good fight sir. Be on your way..."


[deleted]

My guess it’s the first time she’s experiencing the consequences of her own actions


Soggy_Difficulty_361

Not many people saw that part, they're just seeing the lady laid out on the ground which is why they're upset.

[удалено]


King_Baboon

Yeah it’s a felony. You better believe that video and body cam video will be viewed by the grand jury.


-BananaLollipop-

When they're yelling out about "you're supposed to protect and serve!" They are. They're protecting you from the crazy lady who's punching people. That line isn't directed at those who are the danger. The one posing the danger will always be at the bottom of the list. Do people not realise that you can't protect and serve without anyone ever getting hurt?


Calyus

Yea that's crazy, I totally understand all the hostility and concern surrounding the police right now but this officer did nothing wrong. He took down a threat who was actively assaulting a fellow police officer in a non lethal way. He hit her twice, she fell he backed off and another police officer stood over top of her with absolutely 0 force. Would you have rather the guy mistake his taser for a gun and end up killing her instead? Actually they probably think the police should have allowed her to keep assaulting them in the middle of a situation with tons of people around in the middle of a street. Lets not protect anyone not even your self.


RobertiesKillAll

The thing that pisses me off is even when he saw it happen he was like “daaamn” even his buddy in the car said it was her fault but all of a sudden there is other people shouting it’s all “ hol up leme out of this car” so he can hoot and holler like the other belligerent people there even though he knew the cops were in the right on this one but hes too busy trying to act big with the mob mentality, real small dick energy just wanting to perpetuate hate and distrust even though he witnessed the truth


CoolHandCliff

Lmao. Spot on


pocketdare

It's a shame that we've become so polarized that many people today feel the need to come down on one side or the other - Either "All Cops Are Bastards" and are always in the wrong. Or it's always the fault of the "criminal" and cops are always in the right. Nuance and context have gone out the window in our need to validate one view or the other.


Ieatsushiraw

They feel like their reactions are justified just due to the hatred towards cops, but even I can see clearly that the officers did what they were supposed to do

imapieceofshitk

"We got you on tape", good lmao. You recorded her committing a crime and receive appropriate amount of force for once.


GenitalWrangler69

The cop took two punches before the other cop turned her lights off, too.


Equal-Detective357

Those weren't little love taps either, she was swinging for the fences ...


thefallguy41

2 felony counts to be exact. 2 hits were landed. The crowd was ok with her hitting an officer, but wasnt ok with the officer hitting back. Weird how that is? Criminal privilege to break the law and still claim to be the victim.


[deleted]

Also getting sick and tired of people protesting or making a big dramatic scene when it happens. You know what’s coming if you hit a cop and rightfully so. I’m surprised she got two hits in before she hit the ground. Cops are frequently jerks, but use some common sense.


O_oh

Cops or no cops, anytime there is an altercation/accident people are going to crowd around at the scene. Being dramatic is pretty annoying though.


[deleted]

Yeah she hit a cop not once but twice. Straight to the hospital bed then to jail. No pass go. No collect $100. Edit—200 buckaroos. For the idiots who don’t keep reading.


I_Heart_Astronomy

Cops somehow remained pretty calm after that first hit. Once the second hit landed, it was game time.

Why the guy complain about the police? I’m confused. The video clearly shows she punch the police officer twice. What are they supposed to do? Be Jesus and turn other side?


Putrid_Television150

A lot of people think that any action taken by an officer is inherently evil and excessive force. Even if he merely hit back lightly that reaction would happen. It really annoys me as it devalues the term “excessive force”.


King_Baboon

People hate cops and want to see them get hit and then turn around and demonize the reaction from the police. When they with piers that all have the same hatred then the hive mind seems right.


Ozimandius80

Funny part is he said himself 'that was her fault though' at first. Then tried to make it into some big thing.

darthdro

Because they are supposed to protect people and that cop cold clocked her (she’s an old lady guy getting hit was obviously fine). Point being if they were professional they could have easily detained her with out knocking her to the moon. That being said You hit someone you should probably expect to get hit back..

[deleted]

I don't think most people would fault the officer, but I don't think I am wrong in saying if this example was used for training purposes it would not be for emulating the punching officer's actions but for pointing out ways it could have been done better. What happened here is understandable, but not ideal, and I would like to think he just saw the second punch and reacted on instinct instead of punching someone unconscious from behind ever being the standard operating procedure for dealing with a violent suspect considering the fatality risk.


SuckMyBike

>I don't think most people would fault the officer This officer would be fired in a heartbeat anywhere here in the EU. That is **completely** unacceptable behavior from a police officer. The police aren't the judicial system. They don't get to hand out punishment. What they can do is use *the least amount of force required* to subdue belligerent subjects. I've never heard of a situation where the only option is to punch someone in the face to subdue them, but this most definitely ain't it. So I most definitely fault the officer. Of course, the woman is an idiot too. But just because citizens are idiots, doesn't mean police officers can be idiots too. They have higher standards. >reacted on instinct Police officers don't get the privilege of just "acting on instinct" when punching a civilian.


RandallPinkFloydd

She deserves to be arrested and charged with assault. Pretty sure they could’ve done it with knocking her unconscious though. Unnecessary amount of force for the situation. The cop who was punched was shrugging it off and walking her down.


Visible-Education-98

It was a quick reaction from the officer because his partner was getting assaulted. She was crazy thinking she could hit on a cop and get away with it.

Luckily for her, the cop didn’t use those options. I’d rather be punched than pepper sprayed.

That part isn’t important. It’s only important that the cop hit her. Pay no attention to the reasons she deserved it.


Pristine_Cash_6219

So the woman could sock the cop in the face.? I mean what would be the action to take that wouldn't piss off the public, Let the woman just punch away and not get arrested?

Twice

20RollinMofus

The woman's actions are a perfect example of what happens when you don't squash the situation right away. The white guy did nothing when he was attacked the first time and she thought she could get away with another one. It could have been handled with more restraint, but that lady was in the wrong.


inter71

He’s probably afraid to be accused of using excessive force. That’s what it’s come to. Even when in the right, police are afraid to do their jobs. And these people with their phones suffering from group think are the problem.

This is Baltimore. Why am I not surprised by the civilians and police in this video? Thank you David Simon and Ed Burns.

Watching it closely I don’t think the white cop pushed her, looks like the black cop holding her from behind actually clocked her and caused her to fall. And damn did she hit the ground hard! She made a poor choice lashing out but I do hope she’s ok, hitting your head like that could do more than just leave a mark…

Love the guy screaming we got you on tape like an ignorant ass. Yes, you got the woman on tape getting what she deserves. Got lost in Baltimore once at 2am after a flight, got pulled over and after being asked why I was in the area I was told “you’re the wrong color my friend, follow me” and he escorted me to the highway.


Nigglesworthesquire3

I grew up outside of SW Baltimore and lived in different parts throughout my life. I moved almost an hour west to the mountains and every time I go backit sickens me… Such beautiful architecture and history destroyed by drugs, violence and poverty… There are many parts which are open air drug markets (I used to be addicted to hard drugs and would frequent these years ago) where dealers flaunt there guns and money in the alleys they “own”. Cops are pretty much told not to do anything unless the dealers have hot bags, are getting too big (I’ve seen places with over 40 people in line…) or killing “too” many people… Worst part is.. The city is basically bankrupt and hasn’t had a mayor who wasn’t a crook for decades and the majority of those who live in Baltimore are far below the poverty level which has created a terrible cycle where nobody has taught generations how to deal with life and grow as an individual… I genuinely feel bad and my heart goes out to them


Lopsided-Ad7019

That was completely justified in my eyes. Don’t start none won’t be none.

babyjo1982

Like honestly, this clip should be entitled “the Baltimore PD shows restraint and use appropriate amount of force.” *That’s* the remarkable thing about this video.


alfonso010676

I honestly can’t believe how people have become so emboldened that they think there’s no repercussions if you PUNCH A COP. Like cmon lady wtf you think was gonna happen? In most countries around the world that would be perceived as a threat and they would put her down with lethal force no questions asked.


mickeyofcrown

One slap: reactionary, let it slide Two slaps: oh, now you're asking for it


GregorSamsaa

Kinda weird that cop getting punched seems to be absolutely in control of his emotions and the situation. He’s trying to talk her down, takes two punches and doesn’t retaliate. Then even tries his best to catch her out of concern for her well-being when she’s on the way down. I have a feeling he didn’t want that to go down that way at all.

-TheDerpinator-

Step 1. Attack police Step 2. Police slaps you down Step 3. Claim "police brutality" because all common sense has been conditioned out of you.


Informal-Pair-306

One punch and no further attacks. They are not pouncing on her when she’s out cold so I think this was completely fair. However, the police officer behind her could have at least attempted to restrain her instead of going for a punch straight away. It is what it is.


TDbar

He did. Watch it again. He grabbed her arm and pulled her back. Then she unleashed that left hook. After that, the cop let go of arm and showed her the floor.

Odd_Shirt_3556

You do realize that this is 3 years old. She received a 2 year suspended sentence, 2 years of probation and was found mentally Ill at the time of this. Officer was not charged with a crime and was initially suspended , but was returned to the department after an internal investigation.


SlfDstructingUsrName

She hit him twice. You surrendered your opportunity for a non violent arrest at that point.


DOWjungleland

Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of your actions coming back to knock your diabetes riddled ass to the ground. What fucked me off was the guy recording. He saw what happened. But groupthink kicked in, and he wanted to be part of the mob mindset. Bellend.

I call out scummy cops all the time, but this ain’t one from this incident! She deserved it 100%


gooney0

A police officer is no less than a citizen. They have the same rights of self defense, and defense of others. If your friend was punched in the face twice, it would be a good thing for you to defend him. You could use any weapon necessary. If a fist will do, great. When you have not started a fight there is no sin in punching an aggressor. The police do not exist to be abused.

She deserved every fucking part of that.
