I wonder what happened in the split second before it started. Meanwhile, not all cops are good guys. That is not a great revelation.

That's a tactic they often use. Do something to provoke a reaction and then claim the person is "resisting arrest". In this case the man looks around to see who kicked him in the back, a natural reaction, then the cops claim he moved towards them in an aggressive manner then it becomes resisting arrest.

It's only a few "bad" cops they say.

Thankfully, we're all carrying video recorders at all times these days, so the police violence is frequently recorded.

Daniel Prude: New York police used 'spit hood' on black man who died of asphyxiation

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-54007884

An unarmed black man died in New York state after he was hooded by police and held face down to the road for two minutes, body camera footage shows.

Daniel Prude, 41, who had mental health issues, was restrained in March by police who put a "spit hood" - a device used to stop detainees spitting or biting - on his head.

He later died of asphyxiation but his story has only now been made public.

His death was two months before the killing of George Floyd.

Again, unwarranted police violence against a person of color.

The personal cost of filming police brutality

Cops don't want their brutality on film.

13-year-old, autistic, unarmed, shot running from cops.

Mother, who had called for help, had advised them of his condition.

Apparently, 'all lives matter' does not include autistic lives. Apparently some people need specific instruction in every case, ie, 'autistic lives matter.'

But now I'm reminded that the Nazis thought different, and had a program of euthanasia for the disabled.

It apparently would be a great revelation to you if you learned that cops who are not good guys enjoy virtual immunity.

You would probably be thunderstruck to learn that in Louisville, Kentucky, cops who heedlessly fired into the apartment of a totally innocent woman, killing her, have met with no consequences at all and seem unlikely to.

You would, I'm sure, be utterly gobsmacked to learn that police in Aurora, Colorado, a year after assaulting and inducing a fatal drug overdose in an innocent, utterly non-violent young man, still have faced no charges or disciplinary action.

Reality includes fairly intolerable horrors. I can see why you take care to avoid it.

Aurora Colorado police treated this guy very nicely. Guess it depends on the day of the week, or something.

Same with that sick Nazi feck who murdered all those parishioners at Mother Emmanuel in Charleston, SC. I guarantee you the day of the week has nothing to do with it. This country has a deep and abiding sickness in it's soul. At least Joe Biden wants to do something toward healing us. The Ochre Shart and his braindead followers would have us murdering each other in the streets rather than do the right thing for our fellow Americans. Too bad Lincoln stopped Sherman from scouring SC after he was done with Georgia. Virginia too.
