The thing that I couldnt believe still from the protests is how the police dont care about beating women, they brutalized females as much as males. Just really bothers me because I was taught to never ever hit a woman.

(21,646 posts)The officer who threw the punch can be heard telling his colleagues that she headbutted me, despite the video suggesting otherwise.
In old days pre video era , the police would have 100% been believed that she did attack him and headbutt him.
Glad the camera showed the truth. Sick what happened arent they suppose to defuse not attack ?
