Just like the Deep Ellum incident where we saw the woman being beaten, they neglect to tell us what preceded. In the Deep Ellum incident the woman was drunk, driving the wrong way down the street, blocked the car of someone who had been working long hours, and the woman was clearly belligerent and she struck the male first. Does that justify the beating?

Here the man / woman backed his / her vehicle into another person's car and then early on we saw footage of him / her prancing about and apparently acting the fool. Does that justify the beating?

How's that go? Don't write a check with your mouth...

Both of these incidents seem to have been compounded by the so-called victim. Its really not so simple.
I have a hypothetical question for you, as you seem to have sided with the gentleman that pulled a gun on this lady.

If she was related to you and you saw him pull a gun out on her would you have shot him? Let’s disregard the fact that she was drunk or belligerent etc or even assaulted him first as you say. And please don’t say oh “my family member would never act that way etc”. Hypothetically would you have shot him if she was a family member and you saw him pull a gun on her? Yes or no?
You continue to want to imprint your prejudices on to me. I have no dog in this hunt, I am asking for insights from others. You should ask yourself why are you reacting this way? What is your inherent bias?

Won't even cover his bail. And if the FBI charges him with a hate crime, his goose is cooked.

Wisdom.
I don’t care what the back story turns out to be. There is no excuse for a beating. I stopped s beat down about 40 years ago. The excuse given to me was that the victim is a “ dirty Jew”. I don’t care what color, religion, political affiliation , or sexual preference you are, you don’t deserve a beating.
Then don't start something you can't finish. How many times on this Board have we written about the merits of de-escalation. In both cases it is likely that the alledged victim could have handled the situation in a manner that would not have provoked a violent response. The example you provided does not appear to fit these recent Dallas cases.
