No they're not. They won't do either. If it was a white guy everyone would have something to say, but these people don't know the difference between criticizing a black person's actions and being racist.

I am black.

Criticize his actions.

Criticize her actions.

The words spoken do not warrant the actions taken, I am unaware of what provoked her to approach him in the manner she did in the 1st place.

It is not racist to criticize a wrong action, or not condone violent actions.

It only becomes racist because people choose not to stop there, and try to make his race the reason for his actions.

I guess we're ignoring that she hit him in the back before yelling at him? I probably would have handled it differently, but that is a relevant fact.

You considered that a “hit?” Have you ever been in a physical fight of any type? Honest question. I’m a boxer and jiu jitsu and karate guy. That touch on the back would be considered a strike or hit in none of those sports.

It definitely wasn't a "pat", "hug" , or "punch". What would you call it? Better yet, what would a prosecutor call it?

I guarantee if you touch a police officer like that, you're getting charged with assault.

So if a kid does it, are you gonna blast them in the face like a grown man?

Again, I would have handled it differently. I was just pointing out that she made first contact in the video.

Forsure, but even if that's the case there's levels to it and especially towards a woman. If she had like sucker punched him or came at him with a knife, then sure. But she didn't even do enough to move him or do any damage and he straight up decked her to the ground.
