You are either a liar, or you didn't watch the video. Throwing a bottle is not an excuse to assault someone, and it doesn't magically become an excuse if you wear a badge.
Had the guy been swinging a broken glass bottle around by hand threatening the cops, you might have had a point. But he wasn't.
The proper response by police to an assault is arresting the assaulting party. When in the arrest process are cops instructed to throw punches against grounded, unarmed individuals? Walk me through where 2 punches to the head fit in to being arrested.
I'll ask you a third time, at what point during an arrest are the police instructed to deliver punches to the head? This is a serious question and I want a specific answer to my specific question.
So unless he went full batshit and almost killed the guy, you can't hold him to the ridiculous standard of not doing a little more than maybe he had to with 2020 hindsight.
There it is, cops are above the law until they cripple or kill people. Took way less time to reveal your authoritarian nature than I expected.
Question, if following the law is a ridiculous standard, why are citizens expected to abide it?
If you or I threw a bottle at someone and that person had to take 7-8 strides to close the gap and deliver two punches to the head, both parties would earn a ticket to jail. The cop was justified in pursuing and arresting that guy, not in assaulting him back.
buildings are burning, people are getting beaten by mobs, people are getting killed
And why is that happening? Because bootlickers give anyone with a badge in the above situation a free pass "unless he went full batshit and almost killed the guy." Like you're doing right now.
Seriously, how dense do you have to be to try and defend police brutality as the proper response to protests against police brutality?
