See my only problem with that is, if you let that slide, a protester, there to make the cops life more difficult is going to take advantage of it, I’m sorry but if you hit a cop, regardless of the situation, you’re getting cuffed and stuffed. You can sit here and compare the pros and cons of each situation, however it comes down to a judgement call, something that I think each and every one of us, would’ve made the same call he did.
