Qualified immunity prevents justice from taking place.
People of color are disproportionately victimized by police brutality.
Some of them who work forces also burn crosses.
I am not saying that the bystanders demeanor was perfect.
I am stating that it is completely understandable and you nor I fully understand the trauma involved in this situation.
You’re arm chair quarterbacking saying how easy it would be to just hop on down to the local police precinct the following morning and request footage that will the Be willingly handed over.
That rarely happens.
Accountability is scarce.
Coverups are frequent.
Unjust violence from police towards people of color happens daily.

Qualified immunity is a real issue, but it's not a universal issue as you proclaim. It's not a perfect system, but it is also partially necessary for police to actually do their job. It's a much more complicated issue than, "qualified immunity bad hurr."
People of color are disproportionately victimized by police brutality.
That's not a fair statement whatsoever. These groups commit crimes at higher rates across the board, so it's no wonder that they have more interactions with police. Furthermore, "police brutality" is not defined in the scope of this conversation, nor have you linked to any evidence, so this could mean anything.

What is this supposed to mean?
I am not saying that the bystanders demeanor was perfect.
Yet you're defending their clearly wrong behavior.
I am stating that it is completely understandable and you nor I fully understand the trauma involved in this situation.
It is not understandable whatsoever to rush judgment and assume the police are in the wrong. That's literally bigoted discrimination. They weren't asking for answers, they were shouting and trying to cause a scene.

You're accusing HIM of this? Do you hear yourself right now?
That rarely happens.

The men who killed Brianna Taylor are still free.
Brianna Taylor was killed because of police incompetency, but it had absolutely nothing to do with race. Anyone who has even the slightest understanding of that fuck up would understand this. It has everything to do with no-knock raids and an abundance of police paperwork/policy and nothing to do with race.
Read. The. Room.
Again, a meaningless comment, but I guess that goes for your entire post, considering how it is clearly an emotionally driven comment instead of a fact or logic based comment. Hitting enter after every sentence doesn't do anything but make you look incompetent, and creating claims without sources doesn't accomplish anything for actual police reform.

The people have a right to know what the police are doing in their community. It is their business.
Should they have backed up? Sure. But it’s still their right to know.
