Considering everyone said this person was being belligerent, I am inclined to believe them. If the cop did say something like that... GOOD! Ellis was in the wrong and needs to be taught a lesson.
I dont see why people think assaulting women is the right thing to do is they are out of conduct. Its actually pathetic. Just because we all dont see eye to eye doesnt mean we need to attack anyone different. Ye she was way out of line but just tell her. No need to punch her :)
