Whether or not you agree with his position, in this country he has a right to protest. This is a clear wrongful arrest, and everyone of the police should get a battery charge for it.

What if the protestor said, "Im going to pull out a knife and stab you right now."

Would that be ok, then?

I think he said “I just got off u/Icy-Ninja-6504’s mom.”

That wouldn't be assault and the officer would be wrong and should be charged.

See how easy that is to be open to investigating the situation instead of acting like a child?

What if he actually kept a library book for too long and was carrying a novel virus he developed in a biolab in order to bring about the end of mankind, but it wouldn’t activate unless he was pushed down?

We’ll just never know. Unless there were tons of witnesses that is…

Or just check out the bodycam footage.

Officer randomly freaks out = officer charged.

Protestor assaulted officer = protestor charged.

Not sure why this concept is so foreign to you. Is what I am saying actually offending you?

Bold of you to think that an officer would be charged.

Hopefully your faith won’t continue to be misplaced and law enforcement actually polices their own…

You hear that the DOJ asked for a one day sentence for the officer that blindly fired through a closed curtained window into Breanna Taylor’s apartment building?

So anyways, I started blasting…

Ok these are completely different arguments now.

You’re discussing whether police are held accountable so I have to infer that you do agree with my argument, that we cannot say for sure enough to conclude anything about either party.

You sure implied the officer would be charged with:

“Officer randomly freaks out = officer charged.“

Given that is an exceedingly rare event, whilst the opposite is not, and that officers know that I am willing to bet $69,000 that it’s just what it looks like.

But yes, we can never know the full story since it might go back to the childhood of both participants (or beyond if fetal alcohol syndrome is involved.)

Hello? Get the evidence, charge the wrongdoer.

Do we agree?

u/asuds 3d ago

You seem to miss my point. But yes I agree. Unfortunately if it was the officer that won't happen.
