Yeah, so? We have no idea what happened in the seconds to minutes before this. We are making a snap judgment based on 30 seconds of video.
Maybe he did want more.
Maybe she deserved more.
Maybe the cop is an asshole.
Maybe the woman had assaulted the cop several times already.
Maybe the woman was aggressively resisting arrest.
Maybe the cop had verbally warned her to stop fighting.
Maybe the cop just likes to punch people.
How can any of us sit here and make the assertion that the cop is right or wrong based on this short video?
As I wrote earlier, sometimes people need to be punched. And that idea can be extrapolated to "sometimes people need to be shot."
