Re: Driver records CHP officer punching woman
Except that wasn't really what happened, given that the woman received no injuries, even to her face. He stopped punching her as soon as her guard dropped. This seems to indicate that he was using the punches to break her defensive stance so he could actually get a hold of her in order to arrest her. Otherwise, a 190 lb man (who likely has some pretty decent punching strength) punching a 140lb woman (estimating both weights, just know the guy was bigger than that woman) would have caused actual injuries to her by punching her in the face or the head about 10 times.
The outrage to this is honestly due to the "shocking the public consciousness". This is not something the public thinks about happening, so it is "shocking" to see something like this.
I asked before and didn't get an answer from anyone. What if the cop had only hit her one or two times? What if it was a man rather than a woman in the same circumstances? What if the genders were switched completely? What if it was a civilian (of either gender) who was trying to "save" the woman, who then started hitting the civilian "helper" and that civilian did the same thing to the woman? Would the reaction from the public have been so bad if the same thing had resulted, no actual injury to the person?
50lbs pounds of pure muscle makes a big difference.
When I was ~142 pounds I held a guy's arms (individual) who EASILY weighed 250+ pounds in my hands, who was on top of me and willing to smash my face in arm-to-arm and he couldn't touch me because I held his fists as bay. Not because I was smarter, not because I was braver, not because of superior technique, but because my body had learned to from previous experience (getting jumped by +10 people) to dump ENERMOUS amounts of adrenline in my system.
To this very day I cannot THINK, sincerely, I'm going to get into a fight and then the opposition backs down without getting a tremendous down-swing of adrenline causing me to be sick, puke and angry for 30-90 minutes.
I would literally rather get the **** kicked out of me by 4 guys than have some punk bitch make me think I'm about to get in a fight, have my adrenline pump (and it always does full stream when I start) AND THEN back out. I cannot describe it to you, but it's like getting the severity of the flu crunched into an extremely short time horizon (30-90 minutes, as I said).
ANYWAYS:
"I asked before and didn't get an answer from anyone. What if the cop had only hit her one or two times?"
He didn't. So how does that have absolutely any ****ing bearing on this discussion? I can understand why No One responded to it. It's ****ing stupid.
"What if the genders were switched completely?"
Then the weight difference probably would have justified the additional use of force.
But to put it in a Feminist perspective:
#Biologyisn'treal-creationismftw!
"What if it was a civilian (of either gender) who was trying to "save" the woman, who then started hitting the civilian "helper" and that civilian did the same thing to the woman? "
What if a Pixy flew in and turned the Police Officer into a Pig!??!
Stupid Questions.
