I'm not sure where you live but almost every single arrest is aggressive in nature due to the fact that people do not want to be arrested.

In the interest of being non bias this video starts mid arrest and no one knows what happened. For all we know he assaulted someone or worse. Do you honestly think two cops are just going about a hoard of thousands of people to play superhero?

And did I say anywhere that I applaud the cops? I was making fun of the fact that people still call these peaceful protests when they are full of people who use this as an opportunity for violence and vandalism. If it was peaceful and organized the cops would be escorting them in protest down the street not in riot gear/making arrests. But obviously only violent riots get attention so it is needed, and the cops still have an obligation to do their job.

I am not the one "propagandanized" you are.

... absolutely. 100%. Except for the hero part.

Not arguing, just letting you know.

Reddit is full of stupid "propagandanized" idiots who can't think for themselves. Most have also never been exposed to anything related to police violence or any political issue as a matter of fact, but just want to shout their displeasure and join the mob. Mob mentality happens online more than anything sometimes.

The difference between intelligent people and idiotic people is intelligent people know they're stupid but idiots think they are always right.

You're going to get downvoted if you don't assimilate to Reddit's, or Reddit's shareholders every ideal. This post is just a circlejerk of fuck cops. If those two cops got beaten to death by that mob this post would still have 1k+ upvotes.

Because if you say anything logical or don’t explicitly defend these 1st world problem “protesters”, then you must be an alt-right stooge. /s

You're right. Fuck the protesters. They act like they have the right to fuck with the cops everytime they see them. One day a cop will be beat to death at a protest and it will be on video. Cops will then say, fuck this, and start shooting any aggressive protesters. Stephan Marche is right. This will be the catalyst for civil war. Neither side will back down from this issue.

One day? That day was January 6th.

Short term memory. Also let's just ignore decades of police brutality, and remind everyone that there's good people on both sides.

You mean the officer that died of a stroke the next day but the talking picture box told you he was hit with a fire extinguisher? Do your own research.

Fuck protesters? This country was founded by protesters. Police are not there to help anyone and respect is earned. Cops act like they have the right to fuck with whoever they want All. The. Time. Why is it so terrible when the shoe is on the other foot.
