In reply to the discussion: “Oh, shit!” Philadelphia cop sucker punches woman celebrating Latino heritage (w-Video) [View all]Fla Dem
(27,669 posts)I watched several times amd never saw any arm movement by her that would indicate she threw water. The video starts out with her walking toward the group of cops. As she gets closer, she seems to jump up as to try and see what is going on. As she does that you can see a stream of water coming from the very left of the video. You can just see a blue sleeved arm with the water bottle. She starts turning around to walk away just as the water hits the cops. They see her turning and walking away, and ASSUME it was her who threw the water and sucker punches her. As she is on the ground the camera moves to the left and you see the girl who actually threw the water reacting to the punch and getting the hell out of dodge. However, whether it was her or not, she did not deserve to be punched in the side of her head by a cop who had 200 pounds on her. She could have fractured her skull, either by the punch or hitting the pavement. Totally uncalled for. And as he had a white shirt, I will ASSUME he is some type of command position. He should be fired, and the girl should sue his butt off.
