Maybe he is? Doesn't matter. He handled that situation in the smartest way possible, video evidence for the cops he knew were on their way. If a man gets into physical altercation with a woman and strikes her, he's going to jail without question. The cops were on her side as it was and only that video that got her arrested.

What exactly would you have done differently?

Well we really don't know what happened. This is one side of the story. All we saw is one small point of the confrontation, and then him whining about it all throwing it into the court of public opinion rather than a court of law. I cant derive innocent or guilty opinion from one persons verbal account and a tiny bit of video, it looks to me to be entirely childish at that.

I take everything he said with a grain of salt, his account can be purely conjecture, or simply a trap/lie even. It happens. We have no real proof that "the cops were on her side" because he didn't provide any, just said that. We don't know if she called the cops twice and didn't show up. We don't know if he was just minding his own business and flying 50ft over the beach or whatever altitude he said. We saw no witnesses, only the video of a small point in the confrontation.

Seriously though, regarding your question what I would do, funny it may be to some with what did happen (no one got hurt), knocking her out over it would not be my reaction if that's what you are phishing for. And I'm quite well trained for physical confrontation to do so, and my training says it's not a good thing to do, to knock them out, death may occur, easily.

What would I do? I've been attacked by all sorts. Same as I always do in situations like that (and again, we know little about this situation), incapacitate and retreat, 100% has worked every time. Doesn't need to be something crippling or that which risks death, but giving enough time to remove yourself from the situation. Any defense training class is going to teach you that on day one. Day two on how not to even be in the position to be a victim which works marvelously.
