Because it definitely can hurt people.

Go outside on your driveway with your pressure washer, and drive a 1" rock down the driveway.

Now, upscale all that to +1000 gallons per minute on a straight stream. People would be skipped down the street like that 1" rock.

Sounds like a Pay-per-view opportunity. I'd pay to see Dallas cleaned up that route

I guess the real question would be whether or not you would blast somebody with a hose if you were told to do so. Nothing says you have to keep spraying them while they Zing down the street getting covered in road rash although I can see that being pretty fun if you are discriminate in who you use the hose on.

Rumor has it that the unit they work in has a history of passing around a trophy to whoever beats up their prisoner the worst. Supposedly none of this was on body cameras, instead it was caught on a live feed pole camera. Rumor says they took turns kicking in the head and giving high 5’s to each other. Sounds more like the culture vs bring roid rage

Holy smokes, if that proves out it is horrendous and they deserve what they get.

Kent State Event occurred on May 7, 1970

There were plenty of big protests after that, up to the end of the war. One of them is in the movie Born on the Fourth of July.

If that's true this is going to blow up bad. They can get away with that for a long time if who they're beating on is a criminal with a long track record but from the look of it this guy isn't a George Floyd, he was some innocent young man on his way home from work probably monkeying around on his phone and swerved a few times, got scared, and decided to play Jack Rabbit getting away from the officers. Unless they find a cooler full of severed heads of children in the back of this guy's car this is going to go sideways really fast. Title this one "When pretext stops go bad".

Keyword there is organized. I should have clarified by adding the groups that were doing all the organization that stopped after Kent State.

Not wanting to argue but that's just incorrect.

Yes there were plenty of organized protests. It's not difficult to find. These are just two examples:

- April 22,1972: Mass antiwar demonstrations sponsored by National Peace Action Coalition, People's Coalition for Peace and Justice, and other organizations attracted an estimated 100,000 people in New York and 12,000 in Los Angeles, 25,000 in San Francisco and other cities around the US and the world.
- April 24, 1971: Peaceful "Vietnam War Out Now" rally on the National Mall, Washington, D.C., in which "upwards of half a million took part"

Me too!

I’m eating dinner early so I can get home and watch riot tv.

What channel?

The media is pulling out all the stops and fanning the flames as much as they can.

Keeps people engaged and glued to the wonkavision.

Or concerning themselves with classified documents in a garage

That's funny, sad, and true.

Video has been released. I suspect news media outlets will be posting anytime now.

Its out

Just from what I saw, he was being non compliant but not assaultive towards them. It looks like that’s what they wanted. Little if any attempt to handcuff him so they could get a bunch of licks in on him.

Anything to advance the agenda….

Clearly the officers were significantly in the wrong…

But, if it advances the agenda….24/7/365 coverage…

If it doesn’t advance the agenda…meh….

Right or wrong No longer matters….just perspective and agenda…

It all starts with being non compliant.
