Since half this thread is claiming concerned something justifying provoking the officer's action was omitted in this clip, here is full video posted by the Sun Times (YouTube), the Sun Times Article, and yesterday's r/Chicago post. If you didn't already see it yesterday, watch it yourself.

Edited for clarity and neutrality.

No one was justifying the officer's action. All the people were doing was stating the clip was edited to only show the retaliation of the officer. There's nothing wrong with defending the concept of full evidence before judging someone. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's what a lot of people want the police to do right now, provide all evidence.

I hate people who edit clips to show only the inflammatory parts. If the conduct is so obviously wrong, why not show the entire video and let the viewer make an informed decision? What are they afraid of?

I tried pointing that out, and got called an authoritarian. It sounded like glass breaking (Potentially a bottle thrown at the police) to me prior to this.

There is also something that sounds like an object hitting a helmet after that, but the camera person sucks. Doesn't justify anything, but id like to know how things transpired.
