And there’s the typical group of people who watch a video that doesn’t show the whole incident, then assume that the comments from the activist who took the video are actually evidence.
If you spend a little time doing ride-alongs, you’ll see this stuff all the time: guy is drunk and disorderly, cop tries to calm him down, guy fights, cop takes him to the ground to cuff him, and the guy gets a facial laceration. Five seconds after he realizes he’s not going to avoid arrest he starts the whole “you’re only doing this to me because I’m black” routine. It’s all a common and often repeated act, you’ll see it any weekend in a decent sized city.
The only thing that’s changed is the agitators are getting more sophisticated, their useful idiot enablers are getting dumber, and the media is hyping every incident.
Well and truly stated.
