The mayor of the beach town meanwhile vehemently defended the police and said the woman is no angel.

An attorney for 20-year-old Emily Weinman of Philadelphia told Philly.com the charges against Weinman are exaggerated. Wildwood, New Jersey Mayor Ernie Troiano defended the police Tuesday, noting Weinman was "by far the aggressor here" and pointing out that women can be harder to subdue than men.

We're not dealing with an angel here. She chose to take on the police. The police did their job," said Troiano, who added he's a former bouncer and doorman. "(Women) can be hard to control. They're kicking. They don't care."

Troiano told Philly.com that Weinman "chose to attack the officer, spit on the officer."

"Look I don't care who you are and what you are, the worst people (to try to subdue) are women," he said.

A detailed and thoughtful analysis of the situation from Mayor Meathead isn't going to change anyone's mind on this LT.

The eyewitness on the video on the link you just posted, a member of the community he represents;

"I do respect the police and I thank them for the jobs that they do... it's just this one incident that I found really disturbing, and I thought that somebody should be talking about it. Justification for punching anybody in the face, as a superior... I feel that isn't the best way to handle a situation."

I'd imagine she speaks quite well for the other half of that law abiding community. Maybe she should be Mayor instead?
