I don't know if she was or not. I just hate when videos don't include audio. I have seen plenty of videos where suspects both white and black give cops a really hard time and they were handled amazingly well by the police.
The best cure for not getting your ass kicked by the cops is to not put yourself in a situation where that may happen. I have yet to meet someone that got their ass kicked by the police who did absolutely nothing.
A few years back there was a group protesting at Dairy plant here in town and the cops arrived and the people refused to leave the area and the cops scuffled a bit and one white woman threw an open hand slap at one of the cops(short black cop about 5' 5") and he hauled off and punched her in the mouth and broke her jaw. Everyone was arrested and she was taken to the hospital.
There was a lot of blowback from the incident where everyone was screaming brutality, but for God's sake, those people knew what they were getting themselves into. I don't even think the cop was suspended or anything. One of the people protesting with the woman admitted that she threw the first "Blow" at the cop.
