Brent is right. Dave will likely trim this shortly. I saw this earlier today and just can't get it out of my mind. If my little girl had been treated like that....I do hope this mother has/had a good attorney.
That sucks. I find that when Law Enforcement thinks they need military grade vehicles, weapons or tactics, they justify the use of them to justify their budget. And along those lines this makes for an interesting read.
anyone who had never seen this footage has obviously not been paying attention to current events long enough to be considered to have much in the way of insights. all of this sort of stuff serves as a reminder to me of just how thin the veneer of civilization really is.
when it was still "news", i watched the cellphone videos of the actual death of floyd several times - not to watch chauvin kill him...but to watch the faces and body language of the three fellow officers as their personal ethics collided with the reality of what they were witnessing from 5 feet away. and consider that pretty much all that destruction might have been avoided had one or two of his fellow officers intervened before the lid was kicked off pandora's box.

Speaking of thin veneers and pandora's box, why not look straight att-pontim for obliterating the lines between law and order, and enabling chaos. Breaking the law is breaking the law, and the selective enforcement agendas of those elected to uphold law and order is the problem. Well, it's not all of the problem, a large part of the problem is actual tax paying US citizens, intentionally ignoring damaging social agendas.
I wonder if America will get more of the same, because votes don't count and choreographed tragedies move the policy needle quicker. By the way, the "footage" that offends you, may be evidence of a crime. Where has reality gone.
