You know the left is on the verge when someone who's a progressive activist, a Bernie Sanders supporter, and an outspoken opponent of "white privilege" has to apologize for not being "woke" enough to approve the prospect of civilians attacking police! Yet that's precisely what happened on MSNBC this morning.
The George Floyd case has sparked a debate in some quarters over the right of onlookers to "intervene" if they believe a police officer is "murdering" someone. In essence, the question is whether people can attack a cop if they believe the cop is unjustly harming someone else.
On her MSNBC show today, Tiffany Cross expressed the desire in such circumstances to "knock" the police officer off the suspect, regretting that the law apparently wouldn't permit it. Cross asked her guest, Gyasi Ross, a Native American lawyer, whether there was something that could be done.
Ross replied that as a lawyer, he cannot encourage people to do something that is "patently" illegal, and then added this: "That's an unfortunate truth, Tiffany. I really would like to say something more woke."
Ross prefaced his remarks by saying he had been "terrified" of being asked the question that Cross raised. In other words, Ross was afraid of having his lack of sufficient wokeness exposed on live, liberal TV!

Do you think any of those clowns ever did an honest day’s work in their lives?
So then, these people think you should intervene when police are arresting someone? We ordinary people, supposedly have enough foresight and knowledge of what’s happening to diagnose the situation, and start a physical confrontation with a police officer?
Are these people for real?
Well put. Along similar lines, the article said that these people are proposing that civilians should be the judge, jury and potential executioners of the police. This, without possibly knowing all the facts of the situation.
He's just as "woke" as she is.
I don’t know about these folks, but I know a free man can.
That’s the way I read it.
black lawyer and MSNBC guest,Elie Mystal has advocated letting black murderers off if they have killed a white person..He wants jury nullification for blacks....
For me to interfere with an arrest or cop action he’d have to be so far off the rails there is no doubt and conscience would not allow me to hold back. I just don’t see anyone being that far gone. These are emotional cop haters who never doubt their moral superiority.
Sounds like a great way to get shot dead.
No, they look like the types that shove stuff in their pockets then stroll out of the store without a bit of a guilty conscious. Anyone who's ever worked in retail knows all about that.
Sorry... Too real?
