[QUOTE="Ana the Ist, post: 74069465, member: 302807"] "[I][B]They started cheering on the defendant who was saying things to the officer, causing the others to provoke potential violence....[/B][/I]" So you have a video that briefly shows the defendant....not the other people on the scene. We know at least one person was positioned diagonally behind the officer, he was shooting the video. "[I][B]That’s what the obstruction charges talk about, that it [sic] causing others to be put in harm’s way. They were cheering him on and circling the police officer.” [/B][/I] We know the video is suspiciously short....we know it shows the defendant resisting arrest. You think that might be because the guy shooting the video edited out anything that might support the officer's story? Here's the ironic part of this...I know some of the basic tactics taught to police to reduce risk. The most important one is to watch the subjects' hands. The second most important is to not let subjects behind you (closely followed by not standing right in front of them). If subjects start resisting (or encouraging resistance) a cop needs to put a stop to it immediately or risk losing control of the situation. I get that you don't like cops....you mistakenly believe they don't have a dangerous job, and they react too harshly in situations you think they shouldn't. Perhaps it's worth considering that the tactics they use, the level of force they use, and the way they use them are exactly what keeps the numbers of serious injuries and deaths relatively low. If they did their job the way you wanted....where resisting subjects can fight their arrests and circle behind into the blind spots of officers, they might have a higher rate of serious injury and death. Perhaps when you have no way of knowing where the dangers of your job will come from....you look for indicators that might give you a clue that you might be in danger. You know, indications like "Is this person cooperating or resisting?" or "is this group of people becoming increasingly uncooperative?" or "why are people in this group of uncooperative subjects circling around behind me?"
