damn, he reached back and gave her a cold hook.

wasn't necessary at all and I'm surprised he did it.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Holy shit @ Boba Fett, you guys have keen eyes. Makes the video so much more hilarious.

I think he is sitting across from a Stormtrooper.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

That guys a lousy punch, it didn't even knock her out.

Those are "Reset Button" punches, i had to do it to a friend once. You give em a smack in the face and it snaps em out of any bullshit state of mind they are in.

 

[Miggytronz]

She was interfering with arrest, so he pushes her away. Fair game. She swings at him, so he swings back. Fair game. He did nothing wrong. You don't interfere with Police business, what the fuck did she think was gonna happen by trying to push the policeman, that he'd let go and say 'my bad'?

Exactly what i was gonna post.

 

[Fina1e]

Beat down?

really?

 

[soultron]

But wouldn't this be an actual proper situation to bust out the tazer? Seems like cops receive enough training and have enough tools to not need to resort to punching.

I don't think so. Close quarters, and she might hit her head on something when the seizure/lock-up occurs.

I'm no police officer though. Just my guess.

he's sitting there drinking coffee........hahaha

Who's talking out of his ass now?

 

[ChocolateCupcakes]

Well to fair, e.g. in Germany ppl. are required to have completed the 12th grade (more or less high school) to become a cop.
In the US you can even be too intelligent to become a cop (seen that on the dailyshow, an applicant scored too high on an iq test)

...I know that most cops are required to have completed about 2 years of college, so what are you talking about?

 

[Enco]

She's a moron for starting it.

He overkilled it however.

 

[Miggytronz]

and some people think only police officers should have guns...

so what are you implying? chick should of shot the cop in "defense"? you gotta be kidding me.

 

[BigDug13]

Yes, nothing bad ever happens anywhere else.

Things are only going to get worse as the general populace continues to become less educated and poorer.

And some places do seem relatively safe. I have yet to hear of any violence (that wasn't performed by one of us sailors) during my time here in Japan...even in the midst of this disaster.

 

[jmdajr]

Fucking IHOP/DENNY'S is fucking dangerous man

Shit always goes down there...

 

[Satch]

Uh oh, it's about to get good in here.

[Kaizer]

Of course it would be an IHOP in Atlanta, lol. What a crazy place this is.

Fuck that, she hit him first. Bet she wont do that shit again.

wasnt even a beat down.

I'd agree but it looks like he was genuinely pissed and went for a full on maximum punch...which has the power of a reset button punch.

way to go old cop.

 

[Flo_Evans]

so what are you implying? chick should of shot the cop in "defense"? you gotta be kidding me.

That cops are no more capable of using violence appropriately than your average citizen.

 

[Derwind]

 

[SerArthurDayne]

Yeah, cop totally slapped her first. I didn't notice that the first time through.

Yep, from your link it looks like nearly all states require education. The states that don't leave it up to the individual force, which likely requires a high school diploma, also per link.

He's right, you're talking out of your ass.

well if you saw it on the daily show it is obviously true

 

[makingmusic476]

So was the original person they were going after not arrested or something? What the hell is going on?

 

[Ponti]

Interfering with an arrest, hitting a cop then resisting arrest.

Yeah this cop was obviously an ass.

 

[Outlaw]

Wrong. Most police officers are dropouts which is why most are terrible.

Move along. Nothing to see here.

 

[Flo_Evans]

he slapped her in the face 1st, then she started throwing punches.

Are you REALLY quoting a political blog from 3 years ago instead of y'know an OFFICIAL NYPD WEBSITE???

 

[Phantast2k]

He's right, you're talking out of your ass.

Hmm, ok carry on then.
Goddamn daily show..

 

[Toddler]

I have never been drunk enough to punch a police officer. How stupid can you be?

He's right, you're talking out of your ass.

In most states the police academy counts as a "degree"

 

[spiderman123]

he slapped her in the face 1st, then she started throwing punches.

looked like a push to the face more than a slap

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

I laughed, haha.

 

[Plywood]

This is what happens when cops don't use tasers.

 

[Devolution]

This is one of those things that could use some references, like why were the cops grabbing the person next to her.

 

[Enco]

Fuck that, she hit him first. Bet she wont do that shit again.

Yup and it was right to arrest her but come one.. did you see the size of him? That level of force was unneeded. Even his shove to the face was over the top.

You gotta be stupid to hit a policeman though.

 

[dr3upmushroom]

It looked like she started it but he shouldn't have punched her.

Yeah, that's how I feel to. Cops should be trained to keep their composure in situations like this.

 

[Sanjay]

This is not McDonald's and they are white.

 

[beast786]

Are these new testosterone women part of some new evolution?

Seriously. Why would you mess with a man and hell a cop and expect not something bad to happen.

People when you are small or know you are going to get your ass kick, please dont act like a douche. Because you will get your ass kicked.

She also was interfering with an arrest. Wasnt even a hit, more like shoo fly.

heh... well someone had to...

 

[Mileena]

Oh it's Atlanta. It makes perfect sense now.

[Blitz2o]

Couldn't help but lol at the reaction of the guy in the table right behind the fight.

Is it just me, or does it look like he's wearing a Boba Fett-esque top?

Go to Wendy's.

 

[ShdwDrake]

She was pushing him, he pushed her face. She threw punch, punch = punch back.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

She also was interfering with an arrest. Wasnt even a hit, more like shoo fly.

the other cop already had a hand and was about to restrain her.

 

[Vilam]

Added a link to an article about it in the OP. That really is Boba Fett and a Stormtrooper! :lol
