well, Shannon Sharpe made it go viral this weekend. And is busy promoting other incomplete videos with similar whack takes (like "We were told non-compliance is a death sentence. Why isn't this guy dead?").

Chicago has spent more than $1 billion over the past 15 years to settle wrongful death/ excessive force suits.

When officers complete 400 pages of reports and fail to mention an officer shot the suspect, let alone 16x, something is wrong. It’s all about the Code of Silence.

Those who choose to not comply with orders have a much higher risk of not surviving.

There’s a time and place to resist. The point of unrest is not it.

All happening under an ineffectual, weak president.

The worst part is that the sheriff will face absolutely zero consequences for being terrible at his job.

I don't have all of the specifics of this situation but that video shows a complete lack of restraint and respect by the cop and he should lose his job if not more. That's ridiculous.

I don't think this is a good argument for not complying though.

Right because anything that happens to Black people that's bad is "White Supremacist".

Does that make Black criminals who do far worse than kicking people "Black Supremacist"?

Whose America is it in the context of sky high Black crime in any given year? Is it Black America?

The video is decontextualized from what happened before this.

The video is also decontextualized in regard to how many nasty people cops have to deal with every day, where nothing out of the oridanry happens aside from the violent criminal behavior.

Do cops get to make racial complaints about shouldering the violent behavior of Black criminals who shouldn't be doing what they should be? I guarantee that that same cop, and most others, deal with those people constantly. Which is a huge burden.

In contrast, what is the weight of grievance over cherry picked incidents deonctextualized from the rest of the interaction?

Not much.

What an adorable retort from a forum newbie whose sole contributions have been to try to frame Leftist criminal violence as the fault of the President.

You likely blame all victims of violent criminals.

The riots are of the Left and that's not disputable. You are immoral and perhaps a proto criminal (sociopath) tho blame anyone else.

The pandemic is due to the Left's globalism that encouraged so much population movement.

What election intereference is that? I have a vote that I'm in charge of. I am free to consume all information and make a decision, correct? If so, then I have voter agency and no one can "interfere" with that. Unless you are trying to delegitimize democracy by claiming that people do not have the right to consume any information, and if they do then they don't have voter agency.

Your argument is the same anti dmeocracy Leftist claptrap that has been more than dealt with here before you started posting. Its an attempt to delegitmize a US election, which, "man", is far more dangerous and damaging than any Russian facebook content could hope to advance. No nation can survive treason from within.

So tell us more about election interference, in a nation of free speech, a nation of free speech consumption, and whose democracy relies on the assumption of voter agency in this age when myriad of political article writing journalists, and media owners, have foreign financial ties and foreign passports. Go on.

Says a propagandist for the side who can't accept election results to the end of engaging in conspiracy founded investigations, impeachments to protect their canidate's Ukraine corruption, and homicidal riots that are meant to terrorize Americans into voting for their protected corrupt candidate.

None of which signlas "strength" or effectiveness within the bounds of democracy. It signals a desperate weakness to the point that you are willing to cosign literal terrorism, and undermine our very system of elections, because you know that is the last resort before things start getting worse for you.

Just look at the statistics then. There are, at minimum, 50 million police-citizen encounters in the USA annually, and a few times things go wrong. Seems like you want absolute perfection, when the police are dealing many times with criminals, and people resisting arrest, committing crimes, fleeing justice.



Don't you think there would be a lot more pilot accidents, if the passengers were fighting with pilots, trying to crash the damn plane.

Because we don’t live in a utopia full off 330 million citizens?

You’re going to be very miserable in life if you want a stroke after every video you watch of misconduct. Your blood pressure can’t handle that and neither can mine.

Do you get equally mad over videos with black gangs shooting kids?

Sounds like a good incentive for me to not commit crime or call the police if someone commits crime.

Do you really think police want to go out to the most dangerous neighborhoods on a daily basis. No.

But alas, someone is calling them.
