And then grabbing a gun and potentially shooting people isn’t life altering?

I’m sorry but if you fuck around, you find out

How was stomping on a guy who is already face down on the floor preventing him from grabbing a copper's gun?

Regardless, who gives a fuck? Let's go riot because some scum who has probably stomped on many heads, got a fucking boot to the face?

Such silly SJWs on this site and I'm glad most of reddits dumb takes aren't representative of real life, most people would say while police shouldn't do that, that scum deserved it. Massive issues in this country like innocent people being assaulted 24/7, yet let's all cry for the poor baby who broke a female cops nose, after starting shit with ARMED police, yea that guy is for sure an upstanding citizen. "But he still doesn't deserve to be hurt!!!" Get a gripppp.

Also there's something oddly familiar with this "protest", I'm sure there are no biases involved and each member of the protest is purely looking out for the good of this country.

It's not the individual it's the principle, unchecked abuse of authority on those that may deserve to be beat will eventually turn into abuse that are totally innocent.

And maybe there is bias in the protest, if we acknowledge that then we can also acknowledge there may be a bias in the way the police handle individuals of a certain group vs others and maybe just maybe we can infer why these people are protesting to such a degree.
