Miss De Chiffre has also done her bit to spoil the photograph’s apparent message of non-violence, claiming that she was trying to provoke the officer into reacting.

“No peace message,” she wrote on Facebook. “I would hang all these disgusting pigs upside down.”

I'd be very pleased if this sub spent just a little more time on how public opinion of police officers is sometimes an exaggerated reflection of public opinion of men.

She entered this officers space and subjected him to unwanted sexual contact because she knew he was not allowed to react. This correlates to 'don't hit women' and 'men can't be raped' in many ways.

This sounds absurd police oppression until you read by her own admission it was intended as an act of provocation. A sexual assault charge is exceedingly fair. Perhaps the MHRM bent is that the double standard is acknowledged by the police union's general secretary, Franco Maccari:

If the policeman had kissed her, world war three would have broken out,” he said. “Or what if I had patted her on the behind? She would have been outraged. So if she does that to a man on duty, should it be tolerated?

I normally have a great dislike for police (I don't trust them), but this time I think the police union is right to press charges. It's sexual assault.

I was on her side till she told me she was a turd, now i have to agree with the Stormtroopers -- lock her up. Intention matters, and by her own admission what she did was an act of agression.

If she was a man, that officer would've probably trashed her right there.

Also, reverse the genders, and that's probably enough to get you on the sex offender's register.

People like her harm both men and women.

Maybe everyone here is overreacting.

If the tables were turned, and a man did this to a woman, we can all agree that he would be beaten, and arrested. It is not fair that we do not hold women to the same standards. However, is "because it would be done to us" a good enough reason to blow this out of proportion?

Who was hurt here? Its a kiss on a visor, and a touch on the lips. Gender fairness aside, this is no big deal. Its a stupid little kiss. Would we rather that protesters threw stones? I wouldn't.

The anger towards her is in my opinion a misplaced anger at extreme feminism. MRAs are angry because of how this would be blown out of proportion if it were a man. Should the reaction of MRA be to also blow this out of proportion just for the sake of a perceived equality?

So, it is not fair that a man would be punished for this, but really, it is not fair that anyone would be punished for it.

I think in this case we need to be the bigger man. We must bring the inequality to light, but forgive this silly little transgression just the same. Objectively, should this woman have her whole life turned upside down because of a kiss? I don't think so.
