"Impulse Brother" gives traffic police flying kick

A video of a pedestrian in Chengdu kicking a traffic officer with such force that the policeman falls over has been circulating among the Internet.

The incident happened early Tuesday morning after the pedestrian, an 18-year-old man, was told by the traffic officer to stop at a red light.

Netizens have dubbed the man "Impulse Brother" (冲动哥) after a series of other "brothers" and sisters who have made headlines in the past few years.

The man, allegedly angered by the police officer's reprimand, ran up behind the office and kicked him the back, sending the latter into the air.

He then attempted to run off.

The man has been detained for 10 days.

- 10 days for that with the evidence on video? I'm pretty sure anywhere else in the world he'd spend months in jail at least.
  But it's in a way comforting to see that sometimes(!) China's judges can be quite moderate and reasonable.
