What video were you watching?  She put hands on the cops, TWICE.  They escalated perfectly: the first time she did it, she was simply pushed away. The second time (when she punched the cop in the face), she was punched back.  >  isn't that exactly what cops are supposed to be able to deal with  People punching them?  WTF is wrong with you?  Cops have the same right of self-defense as any other human being.
