Thanks for the link. Why didn't you just post that at the beginning when people were asking for it?

Hopefully she learned her lesson to not walk through a riot zone where people are looting


The looters didn't hurt her. The cops did. Maybe she lives or works there?

Maybe?

I don’t know what this means

I also acknowledged the cops were in the wrong but come on, it’s not like she & the cops were the only people in the street
It was chaos with people setting shite on fire, burning cop cars & breaking into businesses

I’d like to think I’d have common sense to go a different route or wait until the next morning if possible

How long have you been a cop and have you ever given testimony against another cop before?

So in 17 years you have never witnessed a cop do anything illegal or violate a citizens rights?

Do you feel that prioritization of officer safety over civilian safety has swung too far?

When I watched the Arizona cop blow away Daniel Shaver in the hallway of hotel while he was sobbing "please don't shoot me" I thought to myself he just killed this man because he could legally. Do you believe the threshold hold for when to use deadly force is too low?

Honestly officers could legally justify shooting a lot more people than they do based on how the current laws are written.

First off have you seen finstablizer rounds when they are fired? There’s a reason ( don’t quote me ) but 21 feet to 15 get is the max and min. You honestly never know what the round will do. Remember they less lethal. They can still kill you it’s less than likely.i don’t about the homeless guy but if your in a crowd and told to leave and the crowd doesn’t, it is what it is.

Agreed. I used to be a back the blue conservative but there’s thousands of videos from dash cams & cell phones that we didn’t see before and I’ve done a 180 in my views regarding LE. It’s a daily occurrence and yet so many still keep downplaying it as just a bad apple. In many of the videos there are other cops around and they don’t say shite because the thin blue line is more important. Good cops don’t turn a blind eye. It’s amazing the lengths people will go trying to justify the unjustifiable when it comes to cops.
