She actually ripped his yellow vest off on the left side. This wasn’t just a grabbing for his name tag.
Law enforcement has to be respected – that’s the only way a free society will work. This lady stepped over the bounds and he rightfully took action. He wasn’t overly rough on her. And I bet she’ll never grab an officer’s clothing again.
Police are given extra protection under the law because of their position. I agree with that. In return, they are held to higher standards. I agree with that too.
He had to draw the line somewhere and if I were in his shoes and someone ripped my vest, I would probably have done the same thing. The woman had already shown her propensity to get physical with the officer.
