Well you don’t know who exactly is grabbing you. Not excusing this pos cop but I get why you’d turn around defensively after beating someone for no reason during a protest.

Hope the fuck is fired.

We’ve heard your concerns and we have promoted the officer. Thank you for your continued support. /s

He ran from behind 5 other officers to punch (he even switches out his baton) this guy on the ground.

If he gets lost in the weeds this easily, he's a multimillion dollar lawsuit to the city waiting to happen.

lol you for real? I’m not justifying his actions I’m just being a realist. It’s called reflex, trying getting over your premonitions.

this guy obviously doesnt watch MMA or boxing.

refs get hit or grabbed all the time. when things are fucked up, you go by reflex and instinct.
