There are always two sides of the story.

she admitted to tapping a cop's helmet "very lightly to get his attention" is a lot different than "admitted hitting a cop".

This is taking things deliberately out of context... that elderly woman, and distinguished professor, absolutely did not need to be head tackled onto the pavement for "very lightly" tapping a cop to get his attention...

and fuck this patronizing, fascist apologist twitter tweeting tw... x? she couldn't hurt a cop or resist arrest if she wanted to. And even if she did (she didn't) she wouldn't need to be head tackled onto pavement.

And by law, in Georgia you can’t touch an officer when the officer is arresting someone. Even tapping the officer is cause for arrest. Period. End of the story.

"cause for arrest" does not, in any way, justify tackling an elderly woman and slamming her head on the concrete.
not period, not the end of the story, what in the fuck is wrong with you?
