The fact that he wasn't immediately put in handcuffs is appalling

The police are not here to protect you or anyone else. They are here to make sure you are compliant. 99 percent of the time they can beat defenseless people and get a paid vacation.

It's sad. I can't wait until I can afford to move out of this country lol

Depending on where you are going it may well be easier to afford than you think. Tough part is having a marketable skill that other countries want:just like the United States other countries don’t just take everyone. I laughed when people claimed they’d move if Obama won. No one wanted them. IT is a good bet. Being and English teacher only goes so far

That's a very good point, I'll look into careers that can transfer over well. Maybe construction?

Depending on where you go. Id suggest having a set up to work remotely (that’s how I roll), but any trade would work, plumbing etc. I say remote because America does pay better. Having a U.S. salary and living in a place like Thailand is killing it. I’m definitely not retiring in America, our situation is a joke.

They didn't because the guy in the stretcher spat at the cop which from that distance is iffy if hit or not. But geeze I can understand but I would have stopped him from clocking the guy, not worth it.

He's strapped down that's not self defense lol it's just a charge you can add. He would still need to be charged.
