Officer is done - will be fired and charged
You are freaking cop - no matter what someone says to you, you are on the job, and need to keep your control. That is what he is there for. I don't care what color you are, you just don't do that. He could of simple told her to back off, detain her, etc, but NO, he had to show his big power stick, and hit her in the face.
Stupid. He forgets the simple message when you are working - 'sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me'. Duh. Elementary school rules.
You know, in this day, people are stressed, mentally and physically. So she said some 'words' to him - boo hoo. She didn't hit him first - she goated him, and he took the bait.
Cost to the airport and city - $ 250,000 or more.
