He is at least an idiot. This was not his first rodeo. The Officer was set up on this one.But from what I heard on the radio, he still has his tit caught in the wringer. he is suspended without pay and the DA is looking to file criminal charges. These are not your average idiots that the police are up against. These are well trained, disciplined, professional Anarchists. They know how to taunt,provoke and bait the Police into doing what they want to get the desired response from the Police. They know how to put themselves in the best light and the Police in the worse light. The Police need to learn how to deal with the Anarchists on their terms[the Police] and not theirs; the Anarchists] their lives and well being may depend on it.
I have noticed in several cites “protestors” with their hands up slowly walking to within arms reach of the police lines. Police push them back and they pretend to be hurt or offended. It is simply an attempt to provoke the cops, calculated and coached.
