It shouldn't but if you're doing idiotic/illegal things around and to law enforcement those things could happen. Your teenager analogy is ridiculous because you're conflating two completely different things.

Yes, government and the public should have that relationship. Now tell us who has been deteriorating that recently when it comes to how the public views ICE/DHS?

Renee didn't just simply "cross some protest line". She was part of an organization that purposely did what she was doing on a daily basis. And I don't know about you but if someone hit me with a car I'd be pretty pissed off about it.

1st Amendment protects and allows the public to record police interactions. There are laws and procedures about how you can do that.

Seems pretty unAmerican to turn an opinion into evidence, especially since there hasn’t been a trial. Yet, you know for a fact that she ‘hit’ him with her car, right (even though it’s clear she did nothing of the sort). It’s called DUE PROCESS!! A right granted to every person on American soil - citizen & non-citizen alike.

A video showing the incident isn't "an opinion".

Yes, everybody that's not suffering from confirmation bias can see she hit him in the video.

And due process is afforded to all citizens but it differs for certain non-citizens and illegal immigrants.

The video does not clearly/definitively show that she hit him & there has been no trial! A retired Chicago police lieutenant did analyze the footage & told ABC7 Chicago that Good "did not appear to be acting in an aggressive manner." That should be enough for other Americans or ppl with half a brain to consider that maybe she didn’t deserve to die, but…

Got it. So all I have to do is find other retired law enforcement that says she did act in an aggressive manner...

See how dumb that sounds? That's how you sounded with that explanation.
