God damn, that is a dumb bitch. There is a Sam Hyde video from about a month ago that put that scenario out there.
Just messaged him for this Saturday's lottery numbers

@bones said in Black Lives Matter:
@tim yeah you're right, didn't get the cuffs on. Video is kinda graphic, but not bad.
I just don't get why the fuck people resist arrest and cuffing.
Asking for something to go wrong, often very wrong.

I think I have a fair idea ...
@tim said in Black Lives Matter:
So that guy who got shot by the dumb woman, who confused a tazer with a glock, he had warrants for skipping $100k bail, which was for armed robbery of a woman with a gun, and for carrying a firearm without a permit. There were several others.

I'm gonna lean the other way and say, when did resisting arrest/running from the cops become a death sentence?
There are far too many videos now of interactions (for want of a better word) between cops and people that are seriously seriously fucked up. Tensions get real high real fast, everyone is right on the edge, and shit like this (which i firmly believe to be a horrific mistake) are inevitable.
People complying are getting hurt, people not doing shit as fast as the cop wants are getting hurt. That actually leads to more instances of people trying to get away rather than comply.

Um, because once they cuff you it makes it easier to stand on your neck??? The situation is so messed up there, massive distrust between cops and people, victims on both sides (I recall the cop who got shot through the window during a routine stop), no easy end in sight

fuck no, is there an end even possible?
Police in America have a fucking nigh on impossible job. The pressure they are under must be immense. From what i understand they are also understaffed and undertrained.
Large areas of urban poverty which equals high crime. Guns fucking everywhere, and people willing to use them. You couldn't pay me enough to take that job on.
And then the shitty flip side. The same people who will support them the hardest will turn on them. If senior policing officials came out and said "guys, the biggest problem is the number of guns in the community. we get rid of those, a lot of this changes" those same supporters will turn on them in a second. So that's out.
From what i read (and up front, obviously i don't live there, i get all this from various media) there is zero inclination for those in power to do anything about it. So we will be left with an ever increasing divide, and two sides yelling "black people are criminals who should just stop being criminals / all cops are racist thugs who are on a power trip"
America is fucked up country

good
but, in the eyes of the law, surely there will be an appeal.

He'll have a decent case to say he didn't get a fair trial given elected officials public statements and encouragement of unrest should the verdict not go the way they wanted it. They just needed to shut the fuck up and let the case complete before mouthing off like that.

I saw a Thomas Sowell quote the other day, paraphrasing "There is nothing so good that politicians can't make it bad, and there is nothing so bad that politicians can't make it worse"
