Not to mention, what you’re suggesting here, is that this lady should have had her ass kicked by cops and bystanders and that would have been an acceptable outcome. I strongly disagree with that.

Her "ass-kicking" would only be acceptable to the point where she could be detained and arrested.

The guy with smart glasses could also be arrested and charged with disturbing the peace depending on what his exact actions were and if there's recordings of him.

...And you think cops in this century of 21 would stop there... why?

Because it's a white woman

Are we talking about the hypothetical being posed or a different one?
