But I see from comments all over the internet, that is what so many people are doing. So many people seem to think that the police are superhuman robots, and so they are free to sit back, and with many expletives and much contempt, talk viciously about police needing to stay in control. As I said in my first post, they just came out with a survey saying that 80% of the public has admitted to "road rage" in some way. Our culture seems one of rage, and so often people don't care if they're right or not. We're turning into a very vicious, petty, and almost mob like culture, ever ready to excuse our own behavior as mistakes while being outraged and vengeful about the conduct of others.
Police, however, are supposed to always stay perfectly above the fray, and be perfect, to many people.

There is virtually a social media hate club that revels in hating the police, and glories in thinking that they could do their job infinitely better.

So, while much of our society enjoys getting on any bandwagon where someone can bash other people, including the police, and wants to deny the police a fair consideration of what happened in controversial cases, and simply demonize them, in these cases I believe it is very important to counter that by arguing in their favor, as a defense attorney would. To present their case in response.

These officers haven't even been to trial, if there is one, but already so much of the online world has decided what happened and considers these officers murderous beasts, not possibly decent people doing a difficult job who could have handled a difficult situation better, or made a mistake in the heat of the moment, if that's what they did.>>>

I've also in this thread gone over some of the arguments most favorable to these officers. Whether or not such arguments completely or partly would absolve them of guilt, I don't know. I don't believe that's been determined yet. This is the raw video from the chase:

I wonder what you think about it. My main point is that the man still wasn't taken into custody, and that to physically overwhelm him with force might have been a reasonable thing to do, given the circumstances.

Again, in large part I'm taken a defense attorney's role. I've never much appreciated defense attorneys, but I'm starting to, given the level of demonization of the police and others who get sacrificed in the narratives of the left.

And I don't know if you are still in law enforcement or not, but either way, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for serving and protecting us.
