Well, minority women have repeatedly stated that they want equality. I guarantee that if I, a white male, were to do that to a police officer, I would get the same results or worse.
I know it's bad, but I still keep on chuckling watching this video.
The justice was swift and decisive, and it came from unexpected direction too.
*The meek will inherit the Earth* ( thinking of the first police officer here.)
Honestly... is it really appropriate right now to do mass protest? Mass protesting right now in Washington DC, Baltimore and Philadelphia... what happened to social distancing? Do they not know that the country still has 20k to 25k daily new infections?
If people can do mass protest then might as well remove all social distancing guidelines except wearing a mask and washing/sanitizing hands.
Race has nothing to do with the fact the he had every right to knock that woman out.
I am sorry, but race had A LOT to do with it.
Not only it was Black WOMAN throwing punches, but that police officer was in the presence of his BLACK partner, don't forget.
Yes, both factors put a lot of pressure on him since he was white; he was not sure what to do, how to react and it shows.
But his partner didn't let him down and handled situation beautifully, with no guns involved.

Please go back and read my post again because it doesn’t seem as though you understand it.
All the thousands of businesses, many minority-owned, that have been vandalized, looted, burned, and/or destroyed speaks to the intent of these supposed "protests": Destroy opportunity. Destroy Hope.

I did.
"Race has nothing to do with the fact the he had every right to knock that woman out."
HYPOTHETICALLY speaking - yes.
But in current situation, under the current circumstances, when each and every move of police is watched and scrutinized, it's all about race.
