Did you see him resisting? Shoving someone who is completely confused is standard procedure. He shouldn't have been walking on the sidewalk, that's where bikes go. But what about those rioters?

So they'll let people take over 6 blocks of the city but if you dare walk on a sidewalk, you're going to the clink?

They'll avoid this topic and bump up one where it's slightly less obviously the police's fault, then come to this one in a big (not at all organized through discord or reddit) group and spam posts about how angry we sound over the internet.

Looked a bit more like they singled that guy out and got into a position to arrest him. Might have been a specific reason.

Anybody have more information than the video?

Look at the abundance of evidence that it was a targeted arrest. The police were positioning around him. and when the one set started to act, the ones on the other part of the sidewalk positioned their bikes sideways to cut off his escape and keep the crowd from funneling in. It was also a video from several months ago.

Reading comments can save you a lot of trouble.

Second incident described here, both were people who had been protesting a MAGA rally. A couple comments on that Reddit thread claim this guy assaulted someone there, though I'm not seeing any confirmation of that (others saying they can't find any official statements).

I didnt know when it happened. I just happened to see it posted on reddit

I dont HAVE to rely on old stuff. There are new documented cases every single day. I have talked about more recent things for days.

How about the man who shot a fleeing guy in the back in Atlanta?

Also a British cop did the same thing as this video but on foot, during a protest March in the UK this week

The man who shot a guy who had just stolen and fired a taser while resisting arrest* in Atlanta.

Present the whole story. Don't be propaganda.

Tazers don't kill, by cops own word. That is always their excuse when they use them on us. It doesn't matter if he tried to taze a cop. When he got shot he had given up on that plan and was running off

The cop that shot him is now fired. And his boss the chief resigned out of shame. Clearly they feel it was wrong

It's not like a 6 month old incident loses relevance to the overall discussion of police violence. Just not sure this particular clip really supports the narrative, it does look more like a planned arrest (kinda shitty for the woman who got bumped harder by the bike than the guy, though).

how was he right? Its not a crime to protest at a trump rally. The man did nothing wrong. Cops claim he assaulted some Trumper but there is no evidence of it.

The french underground who did missions against nazi overlords in Occupied France technically committed "crimes"

They are remembered today as heroes

Weird seeing a guy who has periodic fits over not being allowed to post swastikas randomly pull out the French nazi resistance as a comparison.

Okay saw it...freaking odd, though lord knows what really led up to this.

Having said that, That video editing is classic annoying online video editing.
It checks off all the boxes.
Circle for where the action is.
Show the action, then rewind.
And senseless slow motion.

~Sorry just had to say that.
