We are clearly not discussing an agitator, looter or criminal here. It is beyond political ideology, imo, to witness someone, badge-wearing or no, senselessly injure an elderly man. Is that really the society you want to live in?

One where fools can re-write narratives constantly to frame whatever piece of shit as some kind of victim whenever they want into order to force the majority to bow down before a hateful minority ideology?

shit no.

the guy was a professional, police hating agitator, so what if he was old. His body, his choice, and he got the rough end of it, if it wasn't just a big staged job, as seems likely.

play stupid games, get stupid prizes.

If you play stupid games with police in civil disturbances, you discover the true meaning of the social contract that we have with them, to divest the power of violence to them in order to maintain law and order.

The cop had every right to shove him.

So now you are re-writing the narrative?

Technically, police do NOT have the right to assault non-violent citizens. That's nazi-level shit.

No, i'm just stating facts. Did you check out his social media? "fuck the police" is front and centre, followed by lots of skiting about what he's done.

what is a riot?

what are orders to clear an area, under civil disobedience?

Police are explicitly granted the right to use violence (force) against non compliant citizens inthe exercise of their duties.

that's why you can sleep safe at home at night, because cops are legally allowed to use violence.
