How protestors and their supporters respond isn't the point. Images of fire and violence for the media, and how swing voters in the burbs respond, that's the point

I see your point. With no new rioting and looting Cheetolini is getting desperate for something to campaign on.

As suggested, likely a mentally-ill person. One reason to refund the police is to make more services for such persons available. People who behave in harmful ways have earned restraint--compassionate restraint if illness is the cause.

Thats why the Tony Timpa case makes me mad as all hell.

He was a mentally ill man who called the cops on HIMSELF. He was off his meds and knew he was having a manic episode.

They show up, detain him, start making fun of him non stop. He is crying "your going to kill me".

Towards the end of the vid he is given a shot. And is found to be dead when taken into the ambulance.

Then I read this story and cant help but wonder if that shot was a scenario like this.

That's just got to be some form of human rights violation.

If proven that would seem a slam dunk.

It sounds as if folks may well have died as a result of it. Which seems totally plausible. Cops dont know individuals medical conditions, reactions to an injection of k.

The whole story is crazy. And to do such things while they are restrained.

It was appalling.
