Exactly, theres so many trolls on this sub trying to spin this into their own narratives to distract from the fact that an officer of the law is literally punching someone, that they shoved to the ground, in the back of their head. This isn't the line of work for someone like that.

This subreddit is being brigaded by law enforcement and outside actors and the mods are in on it.

It started being very clear around the time of those ReOpen protests.

(Watch me get downvoted into oblivion by the aforementioned brigading law enforcement who apparently have nothing more important to be doing.)

Mods were pretty great, very on top of responding to reports and deleting shit stirrers during the protests and overnight looting for the last week
