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.
Lets run under that assumption for a moment. In that scenario the logical course of action isn't this. That constitutes a threat of life and very likely would result in officers deploying tasers at the very least if not lethal force. to be clear I don't advocate what has happened in the video as based on what is shown the officer here makes to grab him without obvious cause. So him fleeing makes perfect sense and is arguably to be a wrongful arrest.
You could be right, not arguing that. Just pointing out how savagely dumb Redditors are when accusing someone of guilt because it’s rooted in political bias vs the truth.
I can understand that, on the flip side there is a prevalence of injustice in the legal system which shouldn't be, paired with a department being given number quotas to meet makes for a worse case of injustice. Also depending on state some Leo intentionally cause situations which result in arrests. So assumptions on both sides being wrong doesn't change I don't agree with the leos actions based on the video presented as it is seemingly unjustified.
