@Timcast I get what youre saying, but personally I activity avoid those.
I avoid the videos where you're doing it too.
I used to watch all of your videos but since you started doing this, I dont.
You barely pop up on my recommended anymore.
@MarkRuffalo Do you not realise that a majority of the world throws you and the 'billionaires' into the same category?
This just looks ridiculous from our perspective.
As a former police sergeant, I find this footage raises some important questions. From what can be seen, the officer did not clearly identify herself before engaging with the individual. If someone genuinely believed they were being attacked, rather than confronted by a police officer, it is understandable that their immediate reaction may have been to defend themselves. That context is likely to be highly relevant when assessing any allegation of assault against police.
I also remain concerned about the language used by some officers. While I appreciate there are occasions where firm and direct language is necessary, there appears to be a growing acceptance of swearing and unnecessarily offensive language. If a member of the public behaved in the same way towards others, they could potentially face arrest for public order offences. The police should be held to at least the same standard, if not a higher one.
Perhaps I’m old-fashioned, but I believe policing is at its best when officers lead by example through professionalism, courtesy and clear communication. Those principles build public confidence far more effectively than aggression or unnecessary confrontation.
Unfortunately for you we all have eyes and saw a victim of an assault grabbed from behind by a police officer before instinctively hitting out. As soon as he realised it was a police officer he was largely compliant, albeit angry and bemused as to why he was being arrested at all
White kid gets surrounded and punched to the floor, as he staggers to get up he’s attacked again - this time by police - and he lashes out not knowing who is after him.
Why didn’t they arrest the attackers?
DIEversity.
The police are your enemy.
