Well, in my country (the US of A), you have a guarantee of freedom of speech and an implied freedom of thought. So your views on any situation are as relevant as.... well, anyone else IMO. But it does seem to me that you started this thread just to be inflammatory and you clearly have some definite opinions about what happened and some definite opinions about what you think should happen. Again, fine and well.
At any rate, the part of the video I saw was not an independent action of that LEO, it was very much an interaction between the woman and the LEO. We can certainly discuss who caused what but in my personal opinion, the escalation was the result of her actions; it appears to me that she could have stopped the confrontational behavior at any time (until she kicked him) merely by, well..... stopping. Of course she did stop anyway, people in that situation virtually always are stopped, but she could have stopped before bleeding and requiring dental work. All in my humble opinion of course.
As far as the arena goes, I do not have access and so will not see this thread if / when it is moved there. Normally I would not even respond to such a thread but lately I grow weary of people behaving badly leading to very predictable results, and then take the attitude that the results are entirely independent of their own actions that led to those specific results. At some point in a confrontation with a (or more) LEO's, it should become obvious that the LEO must maintain order with any and all means at his / her disposal. To do otherwise is called anarchy in English and it is a poor state of things IMO.

When this thread goes to the Arena, I'll no longer see it. I wasn't invited back.
Yes, I know it happened in 2013. They managed to bury the truth until the film became part of the civil suit (suite?).
Seems the cop is the son of a former deputy chief.
This has nothing to do with hating or not hating cops. That's so borderline attempted murder, rage not defense, that cop needs to be put away. By all accounts I read, he's remained on the job.
Now flame me with, "the little bitch deserved it".
