He should be fired. He brutally assaulted her, self defense or not, as I said in initial post, the proper response was to call the police and let them handle her. I'm calling bullshit on your "women like this aren't arrested..." line, women get arrested too, and that would have been the case here, especially considering the vast amount of witnesses and footage. From the clip it seemed like self defense on his part, but again, he really went over board when she reentered the bus.
He wasn't arrested, he was fired after the video went viral. There is a difference here. IIRC, there is a union that stands in the for the members, I think the video got out of hand too far for the union to defend and RTA to mend with. But, he'll be compensated later though.

Due to the point where the video starts, it's hard to tell where things first got out of hand, but a bus driver shouldn't be getting into deep arguments with a passenger, calling them outside their name in the first place. That alone was grounds for being fired, it was unprofessional. Let's not forget he was making verbal threats at her, before she landed the first blow, which further proves that he was exasperating matters more than necessary. Sorry, but I don't feel bad that he was arrested too.
Again, there are multiple angles uploaded already. He didn't threaten her. He said he wouldn't touch her, and he has nieces and grand daughters her age that can handle her. The girl said bring them up here and she'll whoop both of their asses.
