Florida State quarterback De'Andre Johnson was dismissed from the university this week after being caught on camera punching a woman in a bar. He claims this was done in self defense.
You can see Johnson trying to push passed the woman to get to the front of the bar. The woman appears to turn around to tell him to stop, but he continues elbowing his way forward. She gets upset, turns around to yell at him, and cocks her fist. He very stupidly grabs her hand, which upsets her more. After about four seconds of not letting go of her arm, she tries in vein to knee him and then attempts to strike him with her free hand. He hesitates for a second, while continuing to hold her arm, and then punches her in the nose with a close fist and runs away.
IMO, he instigated the fight by continuing to push forward toward the bar and then grabbing her, and his use of force was disproportionate to the threat posed by this woman and more than necessary to defend himself. What say you?
