Of note is the fact that it didn't happen. There are only reports of 3 shot and 1 dead, not a single thing mentions that it was from the police.

So not only is this cop pepper spraying a man who is prone, listening to orders, he's pepper spraying a member of the press, with zero concern. Clearly these guys aren't afraid of any discipline for their actions.

I want to see all the MAGAs complaining about stay-at-home orders railing on this stuff.
Well, I need to be that guy again. She was asked 12 times by my count over a span of 15 seconds to get inside and she refused to comply. If she would have stepped inside and shut the door nothing would have happened. Police officers have been shot and killed, run over by vehicles, been pelted with rocks and other objects, had fireworks thrown at them, been dragged down the street and beaten, and on and on. They have absolutely no way of knowing she is not armed or going to try and harm them in any other way. Failing to comply with simply being asked to step inside makes her a threat!

I completely agree with the peaceful protests before the curfews but it’s time that the chaos and anarchy comes to an end. It’s just got to stop. Ruining the livelihoods and futures of completely innocent business owners and their workers does absolutely nothing for the cause of racial profiling, injustice, and police brutality. Protest until the curfew, then get off the streets and let law enforcement weed out the anarchists and opportunists, then protest until the curfew ends the next day again. Once the anarchists are gone feel free to protest 24 hours a day until change is implemented. Protesting can and should keep going until change is implemented, the rioting and looting has gone on long enough. It needs to end sometime and that time is now.

I dont understand what people expect the police to do.

When rocks/projectiles are thrown and people are looting and lighting businesses on fire who had nothing too do with this?

Are they just supposed to cheer them on?

When a cop car is surrounded by people hitting it with baseball bats and smashing its windows; by people who unrightfully want them dead what is their suggested course of action? allow themselves to be killed?

I don't feel bad at all for the rioters disobeying curfews getting gassed or hit by rubber bullets. I feel bad for the 99% of cops who are under attack(many of whom are not white) trying to stop cities their cities being destroyed by criminals

Brave officers bravely shooting rubber bullets at a family standing in their doorway. Doing it bravely.

They're a bunch of scared cowards who think the people are the enemy.

The police are beating up journalists, exploding the eyes of journalists, macing women as they walk away, macing people just standing there as they drive by, slamming 5'0" girls to the ground and sending them to the ER, and dragging people out of cars and beating them.

Video evidence to this end has been posted multiple times throughout this thread. Playing the victim card for the police in these scenarios is the dumbest thing I've seen in this thread so far, so congratulations.

... after asking her a dozen times over 15 seconds to step inside. How do they know she is not a threat??? Especially when she will not listen to their repeated requests to step inside and shut the door?
