A Cleveland municipal bus driver has been suspended after video surfaced this week showing him decking a mouthy female rider with a bolo punch.
The confrontation between the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) worker and the unidentified woman was apparently filmed by another rider. It is unclear from the above clip, however, what triggered the dispute.
[WARNING: The video is peppered with curse words and racial slurs.]
The driver of bus 2802 leaves his seat after the woman appears to strike him. "You going to jail now," the driver says twice before throwing an uppercut that knocks the woman to the ground.
The driver then throws the woman off the stopped bus, though she climbs back aboard and tussles with him. "She want to be a man, I'm gonna treat you like a man," the driver announces at one point.
RTA officials believe the fight occurred on September 18. The unidentified driver was suspended this week, with city officials describing his behavior as "absolutely unacceptable." In a press statement, the agency added, "RTA apologizes to our customers for this incident. A full investigation continues."
She isn’t a woman. She got what she deserved.
I saw the video and now I know why it’s not all over the 6 oclock news.
footrace between local lawyers and Holder’s “just us” Dept.
All that driver did was what anyone who has ever had to use public transportation has wanted to do at one time or another.
Nice punch, too. I give him a ‘9’. It would’ve been a ‘10’ but he didn’t knock her out.
Agreed.
Side note, what the hell is a bolo punch?
(be on the lookout)
obama’s tribes are getting restless.
The mau-mau assaulted the bus driver. He was able to safely stop and park the bus. He was then able to defended himself against his attacker.
She’s pretty typical... more mouth than brains.
That uppercut was worthy of Anderson Silva, UFC MMA Middleweight Champion.
I was thinking Quentin “Rampage” Jackson myself.
Great punch, and great follow-through throwing her off the bus.
The whole knee-jerk chivalry argument, BTW, stopped having any currency with me when women stopped being ladies. Chivalry was a two-way societal bargain that they reneged on first. I no longer consider it binding.
Too bad the guy will be screwed.
Wow — that punch lifted her up off her feet. And she still came back for more.
unfortunately the bus driver will be unemployed and the she will be moving into Rodney Kings mansion.
Did I hear her right that she was going to beat the black off the driver? Imagine a white passenger saying that.
Geez I got tossed off Free Republic for saying what this is all about once, Don’t want that to happen again, but this is not an unusual event in an inner city setting.
Much like the guy at McDonalds that beat the woman with the hamburger turner. Black women who think they are exempt because of their Agenda place themselves in this sort of position a lot. Most times the man walks away, this woman pulled the wrong chain.
There isn’t an inner city cop on the force that hasn’t seen situations like this many times. It’s a part of the culture.
It’s the reason for white flight.
What an upper cut. I bet she broke a few teeth on that one. You are looking at a million dollar lawsuit here.
She clearly attacked this man while he was doing his job. He had every right to knock her into next week. At the end of the tape she threatens his life by claiming her boyfriend and father will find him at his place of employment and attck him further. I only regret that she survived the punch.
