This article has me very torn. I will always be a supporter of police who protect us and put themselves in harms way everyday and I now they deal with a lot of difficult people and situations. It is up to police to use discretion with force they inlflict on others and I think I would need to see the whole video and backstory and there side to decide. I now serving warrants is one of the scariest things for officers to do as alot are shot at and they go wrong. Im sure with her resisiting and the growing crowd around them they need to control the situation fast. Closed fist punching seems very scary and severe but who knows what led up to that happening. I feel sorry for both parties involved.

I understand that there are more good cops than bad cops and overall cops are needed in society, but at what point do we start training these guys more than they are trained? Literally anybody can be a cop it seems and all these viral videos of cops hurting people are all too common. This is why a lot of the public is growing a huge distrust for cops.
