    The guy who assaulted Brown said

    “I told [Justice Brown]: ‘You’re clearly intoxicated and the girls are creeped out by you. He shoved me …. I pushed him back, then punched him in the face twice and he fell to the ground.”

    Police decided that punching Brown repeatedly in the head

    “appeared reasonable and necessary, and no crime was determined.”

    I hope I never find myself in a situation where cops think it’s cool if someone punches me in the head.

      Don’t be a drunk belligerent creeper who gets violent when someone says “stop that” and you should be fine.
