that cop wont get shit. The punk clearly made a threatining move twords him so he popped him big woop
If that happened in CA (dont knwo wher eit is) he would be in for big trouble-not fired but would get decsciplined for sure.
The cop made 2 big mistakes;
1) the first was being in too close to the guy-police are trained to stay outside of punching range:
2) the second, and far bigger mistake, was when he punched the guy wothout cause. If the cop felt threatened by the smack talk he should have stepped back and told the guy to relax. But you cannot arrest someone because they are talking shit to you, much less punch them in the throat.
That would be a federal case in CA., or anywhere actually, but for sure in CA.
