Everything IS about race right now. Every single thing.
And it's just because the woman was black and the cop was also black, that this case is being looked at for exactly what it is - review the video, and determine whether the amount of force was excessive. Based solely on the behaviors of the woman and the behaviors of the cop.
And it was determined that yes, the force was slightly excessive, but doesn't rise to the level of police misconduct.
Like this kind of thing should be processed. Done. Everyone can keep their wits about them and look at this fairly.
I hope it is sincere, but I have a feeling its to calm things down, so their city is not the next to be burnt to the ground, I highly doubt any real change will come out of any of this though, look at whn Rodney King was killed on camera, sure, everyone got angry and upset, they rioted and looted for awhile, but eventually it all died down and everything got back to normal...point is, no big changes came as a result of that mans death, city officials and police just do their best to wait it out and hope for the best.
police depts and cities will do the same thing with this current incident, I think the main problem is, not enough damage has been done to force change, police are not giving in or caving, they are holding their ground.
While Rodney King was beaten severely, he was not killed on camera. He eventually died from drowning in 2012.

Another black martyr for injustice to the black community. Notice other people lied about "Police Brutality" until oh yeah the video. Thankfully, the context here is clear.

If it was a white cop - it must rise to the level of misconduct. But being black nah!
It is very, very troubling that there are members of the community that now think they have the “right” to strike law enforcement officers. This is not good for law abiding citizens who rely on law enforcement presence in the community to discourage crime from happening in the first place. It is now law enforcement officers that are afraid, not those that have no respect for the right of their fellow citizens to live peacefully and protected from crime.

Which is why body cameras are going to need to become required for every police officer - as in automatic disciplinary action anytime it is not automatically triggered when interacting with a member of the public.

This footage shows that she sought out a confrontation. She was safely inside her car and only needed to follow the officer's re-direction of traffic. She had a massive fit about that, even telling him to get out of her way when he told her that the particular street was blocked. Then screams that she feels threatened while looking around for witnesses.
She wanted a fight, she wanted a confrontation. What was she looking for? Fame? Money? What was the point of all of that?
My kinder thoughts were that the police could have taken her down without punching her....but the body cam makes it really, really difficult to keep thinking those kinder thoughts - because it really does appear that she got exactly what she was hoping to get, minus the money.
She got her confrontation.
She has a whole lot of witnesses now.
She got her fame.
Well....
She was not looking for fame or money she was looking to create and maintain the BS narrative of intractable institutional pervasive racism by whitey and the police.
Unfortunately, many on the and the right will lie to maintain such narratives.

What do you expect when the media, educational institutions, etc. are constantly distorting the facts and focusing on race politics for decades. It is now going to be a vicious cycle of civil chaos. Wishes do come true!
This video just about sums up race in America these days.
A Black woman viciously punches a White cop in the face. The White cop stands there looking stunned and is 'conditioned' not to do anything in response due to not only the presence of a video camera, but probably the thought that if he reacted back violently he might be labeled 'racist.' Yup, even in situations like these this kind of mindset has ingrained itself in people's minds.
However, the Black cop says hell no and gives her a tremendous wallop which sends her lights out to the floor in an instant. No subsequent outrage about 'racism' or even the fact that he knocked out a woman.
Absolutely guaranteed, if the White cop had originally punched her out, some would moan about 'police brutality' and 'racism.'

The charges against her for assault should have never been dropped.
