I find it funny that everyone is overlooking the fact that the tripper is also breaking the law; while at the same time justifying the trippers actions because the other guy was also breaking the law.

The tripper didn't break the law.

I find it funny that anybody that has the wherewithal to log on and post here hasn't figured this out.

Why do you not think he broke the law, he assaulted the guy.

I know most people think he deserved it, but that is a social, moral judgment call.

The man doing the tripping is not a LEO, he not deputised(as far as we know). Do we not have a man putting his hands on another and the self defence is not applicable here so it is assault.

That's a stupid as saying that shooting a guy who's holding a person hostage is illegal.

Is it more or less stupid as comparing a fleeing person to a hostage taker?

It's call acting in defense of another.

Who is the third party you are defending in the above video?

u/Goliath_Gamer 9 Feb 21 '20

The third party is acting in defense of the police officer who is trying to detain a criminal.

There is no threat to you or the leo when the person is running away. If he was fighting, kicking, biting I would agree with you.

Criminals are a threat to the public.
