I don't know. This guy didn't see fit to record any of the context of what happens.
Probably because the context was perfectly clear in the video. The crowd was NOT shouting obsceneties, throwing things, or doing anything violent. You're just defending jackbooted thuggery, probably because you are within that boys club.
And the evidence of that is that there's a huge police presence in an area where there's been riots with a crowd of people yelling obscenities at the police, oh, and it's late at night. At the peaceful protests I've been to were during the day. Most of the time there weren't any police.
Ive been to peaceful protests at night, day, and twilight, and there were cops at all of them, at every time. So tell me another one of your strawmen.
I don't know. Did they comply with police orders? There's no context other then "here's a line of police then one of them shot me with something that isn't supposed to be lethal." I think that photographer is trying to conceal something. He spends thirty seconds filming the police, but can't take four or five to pan around and show some context of the scene.
Yeah, so, if a cop orders you, peacefully protesting and assembling within your rights, to stop invoking your rights, you have to obey them?
WHO CARES IF HE DIDNT FILM WHAT WAS BEHIND HIM. He can't point cameras in EVERY single direction to coddle your irrational delusional paranoia.
It matters to me. If he hung back and showed a crowd of people holding signs, then I'd believe it was a peaceful protest.
You'd find some other statist excuse to defend the cops. If the cops were murdering people, you'd probably say "eh, they deserved it." Because you probably fit in that fraternal organization of thugs.
Where's some video evidence that shows it? Oh, wait there isn't any.
The video would have shown a riot if there was a riot. There wasn't even noise in the background to suggest there was a riot. There weren't bottles, rocks, or projectiles, being thrown, to suggest there was a riot. There were no sounds, or sights, of a riot. If there was a riot, guess what, dont you think he would have panned, JUST for a split second, to the crowd of dangerous, violent people posing a possible threat to his person, right behind him, if there was one?
Your argument is this: "You do not NOT know that there was not a riot going on." Which is just stupid. I know you're smarter than that, but like a pedantic petulant child, you refuse to ignore reality.
I guess I have. Maybe I suffer from the Stockholm syndrome.
The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.
