What's even more vicious is your support of the term when there is no mention of a severe beating by either the woman or the police officer in any of the articles. You succeeded in your click bait headline and exaggerated content. But journalism is about fact and evidence, so I wouldn't say you approached this in a journalistic way.

So what's your agenda. The mayor is offering to help in this case and you think she doesn't need his help!? If it were my friend I'd leverage anything possible to help them. Why not contact the NY mayors office or suggest she do it? I mean if she has this supposed evidence why not?
Really what is your agenda with this thread, because this is not the mayors office that is publicly a tweeting an offer of help to her. You're kind of missing the mark by posting this to ATS when the mayors office is looking for evidence.

Really what is your agenda with this thread,
Unlike Hillary supporters I don't act with violence. I act with truth and seek truth.

Oh so now you know who is on what team? You sound pretty biased and claim to be psychic? You know who every poster here voted for?
I thought this was solely about right and wrong and accountability. You seem bent on identifying it as political.
Also, I don't edit posters quotes like you did to me. I quote the full post in context, because I embrace the truth.

Just as I can't speak on behalf of all men, you can't speak on behalf of all women. There are in fact lots of women who want a lot more than just being equal..and last time I heard men suffer more domestic abuse from women partners than the other way round..because those men don't hit back.
That's not me justifying violence, but if anyone assaults me, I ain't turning the other cheek regardless of their gender.

They keep saying they want equal treatment .
Looks like she got equal treatment .
Had it been a man beating a man entire thing would be a non-story .
I agree that physical violence is totally uncalled for in a verbal engagement....from either side. However, I do have a few questions about the incident that are not clear.
Q: Who was seated in the restaurant first, her party or theirs?
Q: Who started the interaction between the two groups?
Q: Were personal insults part of the discussion?
Q: Why was only one party moved to a new location and not both?

um? when has anyone even classified getting hit in the face one time as a "beating" or a "vicious attack". why are you using this type of language. the whole post should be "woman hit in the face after heated political disagreement".
this is victim behavior. no rational person ever has classified being hit in the face once as a beating. its dishonest, youre looking for clicks and outrage by being dishonest. you work for the mainstream media or something? youd be good at it.

here is my take on this..
I believe the women who were having an anti Trump "conversation" were most likely uncalled for loud. But believing themselves "hip" and "trendy" and firmly planted in a bastion of HilaryLand.......thought that the whole restaurant was going to not only agree with them 100%..... but also would praise them as being "enlightened" and better than the unwashed masses who voted for Trump.
I was on a date a few months ago and the young lady wanted to us to go to her brothers and play Cards Against Humanity. We were not playing more than 5 minutes before the whole thing turned into them telling each other what an evil man Trump is and how republicans are the lowest dregs of society. There I sat surrounded by 6 people who were sprouting opinions as if they were facts and they could tell by my silence that I was not"one of them"..... so their attention soon focused to me and I figured it was better to just go home than sit around listening to people call me evil and racist........ but I had lost any respect for them before any words were said.
When I picked her up it was about 11pm...... and her kids were still awake and running around like they had just drank 2 pots of coffee.... and I thought to myself," What the hell are little kids doing running around at 11pm when they should have been in bed hours ago?"
We got to her brothers house about midnight, it was a really nice night and they were all hanging outside on the patio. The first thing I noticed when I got there is that his 3 kids also were wide awake and running around like the word "bedtime" was not part of their vocabulary........ and no one there besides me thought anything was wrong with kids staying up until the wee hours of the morning.
What ever argument they had was lost on me...... If you dont even have the sense to get your little kids in bed at a decent hour..... how on earth am I supposed to believe you have the sense to understand politics?
Getting together with your friends and telling each other what a racist Trump is does not make you a political expert and does nothing to convince anyone with a mind of their own anything.
Instead of saying things like Trump is a racist because I said so....try this
Building a wall along the border is wrong because...(insert logical response)
Halting immigration from muslim nations until a proper vetting process is in place is wrong because.......
Returning people to their home nations that have illegally entered in the USA is wrong because.......
Replying to everything with racist or fascist is not the end all of debate. It is not the magic bullet some believe it to be......... and belittling people who do not agree with you......... well it's 2am you should worry more about getting your kids in bed at a decent hour instead of which candidate I vote for

I have been to this bar several times as it's the same owner as Cafe Noir and Noir is one of my favorites.
I was also skeptical at first, but I know the bar manager and have no reason to believe he would lie, but he also wasn't there when it happened.
The reason I was skeptical was because several employees claimed to chase the man to his car, yet none of them got a license plate and couldn't even provide the make/model other than it was a "white car".
I thought maybe it was an employee cover up to keep from getting fired, but that's a lot of people to set themselves up by filing a false police report. I do know the bar area has cameras, so I am not sure why the camera's didn't pick anything up.
To me it seems like a legit story just based on knowing the bar and the people behind it.

Thank you for corroberating the story, a lot of folks think it's totally fabricated even to the extent that I invented the victim and everything. Sadly, half of those who accept it really happened think it's ok what happened to the woman.
I bet it is crazy to think that this place you go to occasionally made it in the news worldwide, and provoked a storm of controversy.
