Since when are police allowed to punch people regardless of what was happening? This isn't about self-defense or officers hitting people back.
I agree with the guy who said "why'd you have to hit her with closed fists?" He couldn't taken her to the ground or anything to handcuff her.
That idiot spokesperson said "officers are trained in boxing with closed fists....."
I agree that being a solo officer surrounded by people can be terrifying but the people surrounding this officer weren't being aggressive or turning on him. Police departments need to be honest and acknowledge that much of this is just an adrenaline rush and officers playing "quines mas macho" rather than proper protocol for officers to protect themselves and public safety.
