A couple of years in jail will teach her not to slap a cop.

No, he was responsible for her sons death and he knew it. His guilt made him stand there and take her wrath.

That's right. And he had also put his own children in danger, so he could easily have been in her place. Brody was a decent man and a father so he understood.

She looked like his grandma.

Maybe the townsfolk could have accused her of witchcraft and causing the shark problem in the first place. :-)

Obviously he should have beat her with his baton and screamed “I am the law!.” :-)

I always wondered how an 80 year old woman had a kid.

Brody was clearly shaken and wracked with guilt for not pushing the closing of the beach harder or not resigning in protest. I doubt he was thinking about retaliation at that moment.

And raped!

Brody should've immediately told her the person she needed to slap was the one standing next to him wearing a sports jacket with anchors on it!
