it fascinates me how things can get so out of hand so quickly over such small shit, like a sick pug on a subway.
what is the relation between the two witnesses who claim she made anti-semetic statements and the police? could they be people who just had a grudge against her? if most of the people did not hear her say such things, and suddenly two people claim she did, that is suspect to me.
yes, it's entirely possible they just made that up. what did the cop say? did he say she made those statements?
either way, like guccilvr pointed out, even if she did indeed say those things, the police officer had no right to hit her and use undue force against her. cops take verbal abuse every day, and they know verbal abuse does not justify any sort of physical response. if she hit him, he can still only legally use reasonable force to defend himself. so he is wrong no matter what.
