On one hand this woman may have been guilty of obstruction; though her reasons to feel a need to do so may have been justified, I'll give the police the benefit of the doubt that she was in the wrong. BUT being wrong does not give police the right to use unnecessary force.
The officer had other choices besides punching her in the face, I'm just thankful he didn't shoot/kill her, in the USUAL police fashion.
The behavior here is typical of what an abusive man would do to his wife, or what some ignorant or intoxicated male would do to a female.
This was a street fight, and not a trained professional diffusing a situation.
If it were a white woman this would have happened? NO. Ask Zsa Zsa Gabor.
