    I heard that police are supposed to be trained not to get their bodies in front of moving vehicles.

    Because if you get hit by a car, that’s bad. And because it is escalating the problem. When a police officer stands in front of a vehicle to keep it from moving, they are turning a minor crime into a life-or-death situation.

    This ICE officer did everything wrong, and a woman died because of his mistakes. The woman who died didn’t do everything right, but it’s not her job. She didn’t do anything that deserved a death sentence. The ICE officer, on the other hand…

    When you put completely incompetent, yet completely arrogant people into positions of power, you get situations like this and Venezuela.

      Fucking hell. Do they need to be trained not to look down the barrel of a gun to check if it’s loaded or to make sure their dick is in their underwear before they zip their pants?

      a woman died because of his mistakes

      It wasn’t a mistake.

      Not when you want to justify the escalation of force. There’s plenty of clips out there of officers deliberately placing themselves in front of vehicles.

        It’s weird how so many conservatives and a lot of cops are in favor of laws in which it is legal to drive over protesters if you feel endangered.

        Let me guess, though, they don’t think the same thing should apply to people driving over “officers” that they think are endangering them. Also, the protesters are probably only fodder for cars if they are deemed liberal protesters, most likely. If some Nazi douchebag that was out marching was driven over by a car, they’d catch feelings.
