This headline popped up on yahoo news.  Found this version of the video.  I didn't listen to the news part so I have no idea what they are saying.  Yahoo news described it as horrible.  I am not sure it is quite so clear cut as the woman started hitting on the cop.  I figure you can make the case that he responded with more force than necessary, but what he did ended it right there. 

Anyway, it looked like the girl was trying to get up close and talk to the guy being arrested and cop was moving her away.  I doubt it was worth getting upset over as the guy was probably released within hours. 

Here is the yahoo news link.  Their video started a little earlier.

This also popped up on Yahoo news.  I can't remember if we talked about it or not.  That was a pretty quick shot by the K9 officer.  I can't see that he saw anything that justified the shoot.

It looked to me like the chick got in the cop's face and slapped him, so he clocked her.

It's interesting that the comments seem to be heavily favoring the cop.

Some people just need to be punched

I was hoping it was Sarah Silverman.

Had it involved any member of The Squad or The View this would have been a priceless video, suitable for running on an endless loop as a screen saver.

Tough to tell from the video but it looked like an instinctual riposte. 

Can't blame him.

I suspect she should get an Oscar.

I wonder if they're "trained" / "coached' / "advised" to overdo the agony / suffering.

I remember a Church softball game where one of the guys got blipped by a pitch and fell down screaming  and kept dramatically crawling "painfully" and "haltingly" toward his base.

Everybody laughed like hell heck (it was a Church game) and he pleadingly sought the assistance of the first baseman in "struggling painfully" to his feet.

Another Oscar nominee.

People like her are. Tap one in the back at a red light and they will act like their back is broken, scream for an ambulance, etc and then rape your insurance for a hefty settlement.
