WTF indeed! How do people like this get to be cops? If they can't control themselves over a little taunting they are in the wrong line of work. Fire these worthless sons of bitches.

I am really curious what their instructions are from their higher ups with these kinds of things. Was this guy a higher up taking the lead or are these guys going on their own knowing there is very little repercussions so far for bad behavior.
You would think the leaderships guidance would be take the verbal abuse from the peaceful protesters. Suck it up and earn respect back from the public. Not this. This is causing more anger.

It’s mind boggling.
It looks bad from the segment we're shown, which is why I hate social media. We never get to see everything, not that it would justify what happened, but it may indicate what led to them moving in. I can't quite tell what the male does with his left hand right before they act. Maybe flips them off, maybe makes an obscene gesture, no idea. Still excessive if that's all he did.

It was posted for a knee jerk reaction. The cops right now are all on edge and so are the people. You want to protest then protest. Leave the cops alone. Excessive? Maybe. But like said above you don't know what else happened.

The cops inaction in self policing doesn’t provide them any room for error here. Too many videos like that.
There is a teen pushing a basketball hoop around Philly to help break tension ... this seems so silly it may just work, but if you had cops out playing ball in the cities, there is camaraderie in sports. Anyone who has played knows that they have built trust with strangers on their team quickly. I'm sure there would be a list of cops willing to shoot hoops on the clock and you are out there connecting with the age group that mistrusts you the most. It could help bring down the division. The cop no longer sees a perp. A kid no longer sees a racist out to get them. Over time. Trust can be rebuilt.

I was thinking bigger picture. Good for Shaq, but mayors could be setting up city tournaments to be played at night ... like, all night ... if everyone is going to be up all night anyway, do something positive. Parades are OK for the moment, but no one walks away from a parade feeling like they trust each other.
I think any leader of any city could have this set up by tomorrow evening. There are thousands of youth league organizers out there doing nothing that could probably have lighting, seating, and concessions ready in 48 hrs. A week of scrimmage and then a one week NCAA style tourney.

Knee jerk reaction? Are you serious? That's why this was posted? I mean there is no way it was due to peaceful protests happening and people getting maced right? Gotta be the knee jerk reaction for sure cause who knows what happened before this video started. That seems to be the easy out lately defending certain police actions. You even heard it with George Floyds death which was disgusting imo.
Also you say to leave the cops alone. You know what this is all about do you not? If they are on edge and can not take some taunting from a fed up human being then they chose the wrong profession.
Also the left hand thing is clearly done after they moved in on him and was a reaction to that happening like oh great here they come.
Honestly, seemed like the FBI guy wanted itntongondpwn that way. Sounded like the cops were acting off a complaint and didn’t lose their cool or anything and at any time he could have showed his ID, instead he refuses and when they reach for it he says “wait until they see this.”
Yeah, he wanted it to go down that way. He wanted it to go down that way because those cops are full of shit and they don't give a fuck about his rights. Once again, police have free reign to be antagonistic, but we citizens are supposed to just play along like good little subjects. What you choose to comment on when you see this is telling...
So you agree with me then criticize me for the same comment? Ok. How you know the cops are full of shit? Maybe they are, maybe not, I don’t know what this video. Not really much to go on in that video unless you just assume all cops are full of shit.
They are full of shit and you know it, they don't have any evidence that this man committed a crime, and they detain him because he doesn't kiss their ass enough. People have rights, whether you like it or not. This man did not violate any law and his physical sovereignty was violated for no reason, whatsoever. Again, that your reaction is to criticize HIM and not THEM speaks volumes about what you think about Constitutional rights.
I wasn’t criticizing the FBI guy. I made a comment that was how he intended it to happen. Maybe he did it that way to prove a point, I don’t know. All I said was he controlled the situation and it happened the way he wanted it too. Don’t know why you jump to all these conclusions.
I believe that his point..

The problem with that is other than protests all other gatherings are frowned upon due to the pandemic that pretty much got shelved this last week.

a conundrum! yes indeed. But one of the negative outcomes is already an outcome ... lack of social distancing combined with tear gas means everyone out there is technically quarantined together ... without question they can be playing basketball together. All logic dictates this is possible.
So what happens if you are arrested after curfew peacefully protesting does anyone know? Is this a permanent mark on these peoples lives? Really curious since it seems more and more arrests are happening right now especially in NYC. Looks like a couple of hundred just got rounded up.

Everyone condemns the cops right off the bat, no one gives them any benefit of the doubt.
It's like it's open season on them again. 4 cops shot in st.louis? I'd be on edge.
I don't always agree with what cops do but this didn't move the needle for me.

All of these protests are ultimately a litmus test for what is possible moving forward, as far as the virus is concerned. We will see what the numbers look like in a couple of weeks and hopefully see that organized events like the one you suggest are closer to being a real possibility. We could all use something that resembles normalcy.
So what happens if you are arrested after curfew peacefully protesting does anyone know? Is this a permanent mark on these peoples lives? Really curious since it seems more and more arrests are happening right now especially in NYC. Looks like a couple of hundred just got rounded up.
A reporter last night said most are getting ticketed and released. I haven’t fact checked that, but that’s what I would expect. They don’t have room to hold the number of people out past curfew beyond a few hours.

Agree completely. If the public is confident in how they hold their own accountable, we'd give a pretty wide berth on self defense given how dangerous the job is. The reason they feel like people are turning on them is because we have almost no confidence that the first part is happening.
my down the street neighbor had one of those thin blue line flags hanging from his house last week. yesterday, as i was working in the yard i witnessed a crew install not one, but two flagpoles in the front yard. when i drove home from dinner last night, i noticed that he now has two large thin blue line flags flying. one from each pole. i thought it was weird that they were still up on the pole at night. then i thought it would be a shame if someone ran those poles down with their car, haha.

Kind of weird to vilify an entire work force. Easy to bash them until you need them to save your life. Imagine every time a teacher sexually molests a minor , we looked at every teacher in that light. I think hanging a blue line flag and a BLM flag would have been a real statement.

Bet the person inside that house is hoping for someone to try and mess with those flags.

It's an old story but worth repeating.
I think any leader of any city could have this set up by tomorrow evening. There are thousands of youth league organizers out there doing nothing that could probably have lighting, seating, and concessions ready in 48 hrs. A week of scrimmage and then a one week NCAA style tourney.
