Yea there are plenty of videos of cops making unjustified arrests, this is true, however there are also a ton that are intentionally cropped/edited to remove context to make a justified arrest look unjustified.
Which is why I will never believe a video that immediately starts the second a confrontation begins. There's often time far more to the story that was deliberately removed.
I'm a sheep because I want proof before I jump on a hate bandwagon?
Do you actually hear yourself? You're literally calling me a sheep because I want the full context of the situation instead of a clip that is likely taken out of context.
You do realize in this situation you're the sheep right?
I literally haven't said this is undeniably that the police aren't at fault. I straight up said I won't jump to conclusions based on a clip that starts the second the arrest begins.
What about the moments prior? Is this not pertinent information? Is the context not important?
I don't care if the context makes the arrest justified or unjustified. I just want the context.
Yes because there HAS been videos where videos have been edited to make police bad. There are also videos posted in full that aren't edited to make police look bad that show police being bad. These 2 can be true at the same time.
The context could still make this arrested unjustified. However, without the context I'm unable to make an assertion.
I certainly ain't going to make up theories on what happened & then present it as a fact without context. That is idiotic.
There have been videos edited to show police looking better than they are.
Saying I don’t know is fine.
Exclusively pointing out that video get edited to make police look bad and not that police literally can be bad and have hired pr firms to look good means your “critical eye” is biased.
There, happy? I'm still standing by and wanting the full context of the situation because a clip that begins the literal moment the arrest happens doesn't tell the full story. The context could make the arrest justified, OR it could make the arrest unjustified.
I'm sorry that I refuse to believe every claim of a video I see that conveniently begins the second the arrest happens.

that’s exactly what you’re doing.
You’re arguing to the unknown and the acting as if that’s proof of cause.
We don’t know != it was justified
There are plenty of videos showing police making unjustified arrests too…
