Definition of SUCKER PUNCH
: to punch (a person) suddenly without warning and often without apparent provocation
Click to expand...

Provocation is apparent, though it looks like they mistook her for the person who threw the water.

Until we know what the officer said when he was walking towards her, we don't know whether there was warning or not. We also don't know what she may have been saying to the officer.

So in your world it is ok for a cop to turn around and punch the closest person without cause? Because that is what happened here. He assumed she was the one that threw whatever it was on him. Decided to physically injure her. You cannot even claim said injury was caused by resisting arrest.

Yeah, it's a sucker punch, police officer or not.
 
"Provocation" is one thing - legal justification for the use of force is another. We have no idea what she said. If she said "fuck you pigs!" or used the N word, that would be a provocative act, but it would not justify punching her in the face. The video depicts no legal justification whatsoever for punching her.

So in your world, it's okay to decide that without hearing the full story? Because that's what's happening HERE. You're doing what you're accusing the cop of doing.
 
She definitely threw/shot something on the cop. If you watch closely you can see it at the very beginning. She definitely wasn't innocent..

I am not accusing him of anything other than punch the woman. And in no circumstance is that ever ok. Even if a person is resisting arrest, the force used to subdue that person has to be measured and not excessive.

How can you claim that he intended to hit her in the face? If you look at her legs at the time he made contact, her legs were bent, which would bring her face down to the level of her shoulder, which MAY have been what he was reaching for.

You don't have enough info to make that claim, based on the video alone.

they were bent before the cop started swinging... You don't reach for a shoulder with a hook...And you don't usually hear impact when you grab someone's shoulder.

What was he supposed to reach for, to detain her?

You can't hear what's being said, but you think you can hear an impact? Not likely.

You should listen to it then...

When you reach to grab someone, you don't go with a hook... unless you want to apply chock hold.

Then tell me what she said, please.

You noticed they moved closer to the camera as the time rolled by right? I don't know what she said. I don't care what she said. She could have called the cop a n***** for all I care. There is no justification for swinging his arm.

Then how was he supposed to stop her from running away? Should he have just pulled out his taser or his gun?
 
Police Supervisor even...


cut and pasted from fox news


Philadelphia police are investigating a video that appears to show a police supervisor striking a Puerto Rican Day parade reveler in the head, sending the woman to the ground before she was charged with disorderly conduct.
According to a YouTube video posted Sunday, several parade-goers can be seen spraying water on the street and on a throng of police officers before a police supervisor zeroes in on the unidentified woman as she tries to walk away from the group.
The officer is then seen striking the woman in the face and to the back of her head. She is later led away in handcuffs.
Lt. Ray Evers, a Philadelphia Police Department spokesman, told the Philadelphia Daily News police officials are “fully aware” of the video and that an Internal Affairs investigation has been opened. Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey, who is in San Diego for a conference, is also aware of the video, Evers said.
The 36-second video — titled “Philadelphia Police Brutality” — has been viewed more than 300 times as of midday Monday. It is not clear what happened prior to the recorded sequence.
The 39-year-old woman, who was not identified, was issued a disorderly conduct citation. Evers said the woman’s citation indicates "liquid and some other objects were thrown at a group of officers causing a large crowd. She was the only person charged in the incident, he said.

was she running away? I saw her walking.

Please tell me you are trolling.

She wasn't walking like that earlier in the video, or after they arrested her. You must be seeing what you want to see. That would make you the troll, yes?
 
I think the cop says "Back off" when he turns around. Not exactly an order she wasn't complying with. And he literally gives her two seconds between the time he turns around and slugging her in the face.
