Hopefully the message will get through to the younger generation that police are not to be questioned, disrespected, or disobeyed. Cross the line, and you get a couple of haymakers to the face, mom's aren't exempt.

Responses like this (and there have been many in this thread) truly frighten me. It seems like some of y'all wish we lived in a totalitarian state. So a cop pulls me over for speeding when I'm not over the limit and I can't question the accuracy of his assertion and just have to take the ticket?

If she got physical with the officer, then fine, take the bitch down. But if she was just being argumentative, the cop shouldn't escalate the situation. I'm sick of people defending cops who overreact to their authority being questioned. I honestly don't want to live in a country where tax paying citizens can be assaulted, wrongfully arrested or murdered for disrespecting some dude who got all Cs in high school and had few friends.

What causes some posters to just assume the cop's actions were justified? What would the rest of the video have shown? That the fat mom was mouthy? So now we're ok with everyone who is a dick or a bitch being arrested and beaten? Half this board is in for a world of hurt if that's the case.
