Sometimes the deals on Black Friday are so good that you're willing to go to extremes.
But taking a swing at a cop is generally ill-advised as part of that shopping strategy.
That's the course of action one shopper at an El Paso, Texas, WalMart took this year, however.
With police officers clearing out a herd of people, the assailant didn't like the way he was being treated and threw a punch a uniformed police officer.
Needless to say, he was very quickly subdued.
The video can be seen here. Warning, obscene language can be heard in the clip.
