minus-squarekhannie@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up26·1 month ago It is unclear from the footage whether the police officer intentionally targeted O’Brien’s face. Eh… It’s not unclear in the slightest. The first punch was an obvious jab right to their nose. The second one drew quite a bit of blood. They were an absolute champ to just stand there and take it. Huge respect.
minus-squareTaTTe@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·1 month agoIt was definitely intentional, but also it looks like only one punch. The video just shows it from 2 angles. Still enough to hopefully get the pig suspended and fined.
minus-squareTudsamfa@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·1 month agoThere was a second punch a few seconds after, but this article’s video didn’t show it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SUln5weESQ At 1:15 and 1:31
minus-squareTypotyper@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down12·1 month agoFor all the hype here that was pretty subdued. He gave her warnings. A poke to let her know he was serious and then another harder one. What’s the problem We were trained to do a lot worse.
