    Those fucking goons really hate their own citizenry (and all things outside the bad old usa).

    Every video of cops nowadays further cements my ideas that they’re top tier shit stains, don’t deserve to walk this earth and share oxygen with citizens. Fuck cops til the end of time.

    Who are those pigs? Names, we want names. Make their kids embarrassed to go to school, make their wives embarrassed to go to church.

      Yeah, the shove was more obnoxious than the candle kick in my opinion. Big tough guy wearing body armor, with a retinue of backup, knowing full well he’s completely safe from any retaliation, shoves unarmed citizen. Looked like assault to me. If baja jacket shoved him just as hard he’d be arrested at best.

        They were probably trying to provoke him so they would have a reason to arrest him.

        Cops shouldn’t be allowed to touch civilians unless they have a reason to make an arrest.

        Like if the only charge is “resisting arrest”… Why the fuck were they trying to make an arrest in the first place?

        But they’re professionals at making up bs charges. “Trespassing” in public… “Disorderly conduct” is somewhat of a catch-all…

          Fun fact, everyone resists arrest, when a person gets grabbed by someone they try to escape or fight back. It is fucking hard wired into us, it’s called fight or flight. Resisting arrest is completely made up. People with fight or flight response problems, like someone with PTSD, walk around all day long praying some fucking dumb ass cop doesn’t grab them for no reason. This is what causes humans to fight like a caged animal.

            Yup, they deliberately try to provoke anxiety because if you have a panic attack they can book you for disorderly conduct. It’s really cruel, especially for people with PTSD like you pointed out. A lot of veterans get arrested that way.

    I thought we fired people for repeating Kirk’s own words. Now those same people are slandering an average American citizen.

    Nothing screams “I’m an enormous loser who must project my insecurity onto the world” like kicking over a candle at a dead person’s memorial.

        When the Civil War kicks off, I hope this fat pig is chasing me. I’ve been training, I can keep him running until his heart explodes. Should take about half a mile.

    Is this in Minneapolis? If so, will the mayor order the police force to stop acting like they’re allied with ICE? (Let’s be honest, they mostly are I bet). At some point a city is going to need to force their police force to officially choose sides, or resign if they are unwilling.
