Yes. He was walking into their line after numerous warning to step back. He kept walking and then stood there. He knew what he was doing, he does this for a living.... If the police arrested him you would say it was an unfair arrest "old white man arrested for walking on sidewalk". Its a lose lose for the police. I honestly see nothing wrong with a riot line pushing people back, in fact that is basically their job when clearing streets..... -There is a reason the whole squad resigned, they knew the cop was right- they did their job..... |

So what. A ton of people on youtube bait the police for a living. Police take the bait, youtuber makes good coin from the gazillion views from outraged people.
BS Nobody would know about it because the video of a legit arrest gets no views. Nobody cares. Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Baiting police and random government workers is common with "auditors" stupid and obnoxious trend, but whatever.... This was not baiting, this was breaking multiple laws after being warned countless times. Again, they could have sprayed him, but I am guess you would object to that as well... There is nothing they could have done that would not garner critique from some..... Riot Police do not exist to be pleasant, their job is to be rough.... |

Again they could have simply arrested him instead of putting him in the hospital If I was breaking multiple laws but not being violent. I expect to be arrested, not put in the hospital. Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

I'm issuing a warning for trolling and personal insult with this post. It added no new information to the topic at hand and served to sow division only. You might argue many posts are just as bad, but this is a case of death by 1,000 cuts and this one was number 999. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

| Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | An unarmed barefoot blonde named Justine Damond Ruszczyk was shot to death by Minneapolis police (Officer Noor) after she called the police about what she thought was an ongoing rape by her house. Noor’s lawyer, Thomas Plunkett, launched his closing address by banging on his lectern, shouting a profanity and yelling, “Pow!” Plunkett was recreating testimony from Noor that he heard a loud bang right before Damond approached his squad car, which was followed by his partner swearing and struggling to pull out his gun, right before Noor fired. No fingerprints of Justine were found on the Police car. Last year the ex-policeman was sentenced to 12.5 years for the murder of Justine. It appears that she was going to the police car to talk about what she heard and the police officer thought that he was being attacked. |

If you don’t actually witness a crime, don’t call the cops. If you do call the cops, wait for them to approach you. That said, the officer obviously shoulders the biggest part of the responsibility and was convicted for third-degree murder, wasn’t he? Of course, some police association said the conviction was somehow a racist issue or was a contributing factor. Anyway, just mind your 4@:&:!; business unless you see something with your eyes and don’t call the police otherwise. "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want."
