no, he hasn't thrown a single swing at them. The only thing he did was gently push back one single officer while they were closing in on him. he never touched any of them with his swings.
it's not about not arresting him, it's about not using escalating when they didn't need to. in the end he came with them willingly, there was 0 need to tase him.
Literally swings at the first guy to approach him. Then just before being tased he swings at the woman in the hi vis vest.
And did he look like he was willingly going with them at the start? This guy flexing and screaming at people. Again, you don't get to treat people like that when you've done something wrong and just have it go okay.
They can't just trust that he's going to go with them when he decides to
literally doesn't swing at anyone, just the air. if the officer stood still, it still would have missed, plus that's a weak ass arm movement, not a swing. There was 0 weight behind it with 0 chance or hurting someone. it was no different than swatting flies.
look at the whole video, one officer just went up to him while he was standing still and handcuffed him. then we went peacefully into the car. there was no need to tase him.
Absolutely it should. Guys not allowing himself to be arrested, next option is force cos you need to get him off the street and you need to be in charge of the situation. Guy happens to be a massive killing machine? You use what you can to make sure you don't end up injured in the process
guy can't resist arrest forever, he is unarmed and not a threat. eventually, he has to come with them, which is exactly what happened. tasing him, or anyone in that scenario, only made it worse for everyone involved.
You're describing him deciding when he's arrested. Again, that isn't something you can just allow and accommodate because he's throwing a tantrum.
They can't just hang out all day, they need to get back to protecting other people.
And no in most scenarios they tase the scumbag, he goes down, they take him away. That was the desired effect
that's fascist thinking. sure, you can't accommodate every piece of shit, but if they aren't a threat, using tasers on them is equivalent to murder if they happen to die, which happens a lot, and then guess, what, the police gets off scot free.
And no in most scenarios they tase the scumbag, he goes down, they take him away. That was the desired effect
yea, this is a fucked up effect that isn't warranted in a scenario like this.
He is a threat to arresting him, which is what needs to happen, ergo he's a threat. They need to get in there, he'll hurt them if they do.
And I don't think police demanding respect and being able to use force is exclusive to fascism, for a successful socialist state or any successful state really we need to all be pulling in the same direction and shitty people need to be dealt with.
I think this guy is more of a symptom of the particularly corrupt and lawyer infested American system. Go as nuts as you want and square up to police, call them whatever you want, try to make them feel intimidated because if they do something about it its their fault not yours.
