I was concerned about them not checking on his condition, but then I saw an officer radioing for medical assistance. Also, I saw what looked like a National Guard soldier kneeling down with the man before the ambulance arrived. I would like to know exactly what the man said to the police officers before he was pushed. It didn't matter... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And people like Trevor Noah and John Daily only present views that correspond to their own prejudices. I've heard enough from people like them for years.

What do you expect when you push an old man aggressively? Why is it so hard for you to recognize that these cases are an example of police brutality? For example, since when do police officers attack Reporters? They have a camera and are easy to recognize. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just another unfortunate incident Dino...The police were just testing their weapons and the press just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and got in the way..several times 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgerunner Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 According to Wikipedia NOW THIS is a left wing, progressive, social media-focused news organization, so I trust nothing they post as being completely truthful. Probably just presented part of the story. Why were the police clearing the area? Was it because they were enforcing a curfew? Was there looting and arson going on at the time? I would need to see the whole picture before determining if their actions were justified. As for MSNBC and the LA Times, I trust nothing any of them report. Many reporters today have their own political agendas and instead of reporting on protests they become part of the protests. They are not impartial bystanders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't last a week in one of America's inner cities. I think police officers across America should all stay home for one week, and then see what happens.

For self-defence there must be a concrete attack on life. Justice in this cases often only exists when uninvolved people recorded what has happened. The system of self-control often does not work. Sometimes, normal cops cover up for bad cops. One of the main opponents for improvement in the police force are the police unions. If violent and racist police officers were consequently removed from the job, the problem would probably be much smaller. It's a system error, not just a few bad ones among many good ones. Unions have become the very cancer they were once the cure for. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robwin Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 5 hours ago, Ridgerunner said: If this is the whole story, then it probably was an unnecessary confrontation. But what happened before this? Did the police receive a complaint of a trespasser at this location? If so, the police officer has a legitimate right to question the man, and when the individual could not produce anything with his address on it the officer had more justification to investigate. What happened before? maybe the cops wife refused him a quickie in his coffee break. If that had been a white man the cop wouldn't have given him a second look and just carried on. And what was he doing, just picking up trash with a trash picker upper for gods sake.The way the cop behaved you would think he had an automatic weapon in his bloody hand. I'm often out in our road brushing up but i wouldn't have any ID on me when i was doing that so why should he?. No he just saw a black man and decided to exert his ego and so called power and made a right twat of himself but it could have ended up very nasty. As the video said the cop never asked for the white guys ID, strange eh??? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgerunner Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 If you go to Seattle right now you can join BLM's new seven block nation. They just recently took over an abandoned police station, have set up armed guards and declared a seven block area a separate nation from the U.S. In a news conference when a reporter asked the Governor of the state of Washington about this, he said he hadn't heard about it.
