Spitting on someone is one of the most degrading things ever. It’s DISGUSTING 🤮 I have to say officer or not she got what she deserved.

[imaenormus]

She assaulted him first with a biological weapon. She deserved what she got.

[BIGNOIDS]

I'm on the officer's side here, what a vile woman.

[loveendless]

She deserved more than that. Darn Karen.

I work in a hospital, ER, mental health. I've been spit on many times by garbage humans like this and I can attest to the absolute rage that flows through you in this exact situation. It's a visceral reaction. Shouldn't have punched her, but I can understand how he lost control for that split second.

[kevinquartemont]

That officer should get a raise for that.

[pmprei]

You don’t get a pass to spit on anyone, even when you’re a woman subdued in hand cuffs. In today’s times, it’s an absolute no no.

[andrewkiker]

Well deserved… reacted like a normal human being. So much for equality!

[Froward_Thinker]

Absolutely nothing should happen to this officer.

Women like this need to be held accountable for their actions.. she's the type of girl that likes to start a fight beating on her man but when her man smacks her shes starts screaming for 911

[medkhalidbellaaguid]

A policeman is also a human being, it's ridiculous to expect he or anyone would be ok with that

[projectdelta]

She had it coming really. Thats the exact reaction i would have if somebody potentially gives me a life ending disease.

[EverythingSim]

She assaulted him first. She got what she got.

[hide]

That was all calculated action... disgusting woman...

[vcalv]

He gave her a love tap. What she did was way worse and much more degrading.

[tng_abu]

Bro ngl it’s a natural reaction to punch someone after being spit on

[TristanBuilds]

You can’t spit in someone’s face and expect them not to react. I think that’s the least he could’ve done.

[macurlyfries]

Anyone spits in my face. Anyone. That’s the exact treatment they’re getting and deserve

[dennyallen]

He should not be fired! You should charge that girl and put her in jail!!

[lonnievancura]

I love how she feels she bears no responsibility.
