A head strike can be considered potentially deadly force and therefore discouraged unless deadly force is called for. It occurs to me that the lady attacking the officer was using potentially deadly force and had to be neutralized quickly. She wasn't through and obviously somewhat deranged. Officers are trained in force continuum and I believe a pretty good argument could be made that striking the lady on the head was justified. What I'm wondering is why wasn't the officer who was being attacked defending himself. Maybe he was afraid of getting suspended. This ^^^^^😎 Yep.

Maybe the white officer should go into another line of work. Like knitting and sewing. Or maybe flight attendant. At least mace to the face. Or pepper spray.

If I had been the one to suspend him, it would've been for letting his partner get hit twice....

You seldom see the whole story, but this is at least closer to what actually happened and it's obvious the woman was looking for trouble. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMQ0oDxbQPs&feature=youtu.be

Great idea but when you pepper spray someone you always get some on yourself. In that situation, surrounded by looters that want to kill you, you need your eye sight and the ability to breath. A lot of Dept s don't even use pepper spray anymore because its not effective.

I bet there is more than one person somewhere that is thanking the Lord that the Officer did what he did.
She can't be but so pleasant to be around.

What I'm wondering is why wasn't the officer who was being attacked defending himself. Maybe he was afraid of getting suspended. The white officer that she assaulted, knew if he defended himself ,he would be prosecuted by the black mayor of Baltimore and sent to prison Here is the BS reply I received from the Mayor finally: Good afternoon, I believe the first officer, who was struck multiple times by the woman, showed remarkable restraint by not retaliating as he was being assaulted. However, while I appreciate your perspective, the woman should have been placed under arrest and not assaulted. Our system of justice does not involve the concept of an 'eye for an eye.' I have spoken with Commissioner Michael Harrison and the officer who struck the woman has been removed from police duties. I've also asked Commissioner Harrison to relay a simple message to his command staff and to officers from across the City: sound, constitutional policing is the only acceptable way we're going to do things here in Baltimore under my watch. We're working to build the best police department in the country and we don't have room for error. Mayor Young

Mayor Young
Our Police are not allowed to defend themselves against felons any more. Nor are they allowed to use the force necessary to conduct an arrest.
Furthermore, they should have known that the standing orders were to let them do whatever they wanted to do, up to and including assault and killing of our Police.

Dear Mayor Young,
Please put yourself out of a job!
You’re a joke!
Sincerely,
A supporter of the black officer.
