3. Don't you sound tough now...

The abusive, racist , angry cop is the one that escalated the situation and introduced the violence.

His fragile ego couldn't handle being stood up to.

[canuckledragger]

8. Sure.

It's the evidence you choose to ignore in to our of your fairy tale.

[canuckledragger]

12. No, that's you projecting your own baseless claims on others.

If you want facts, first YOU need to acknowledge some.

What you've stated just isn't so.

[canuckledragger]

16. Sigh...and here's typical expected gaslighting

..as you STILL project your own actions on others, making baseless claims as you try to get folks to ignore the evidence of their own eyes and ears.

You just aren't very good at this, comrade.

4. You call that resisting arrest? Being on a public street and not...

wanting to be harassed by a cop is a right. Remember those? Bill of Rights, the Constitution and all that.

It's a public street. The cop even said he's not supposed to be there and he could trespass the guy from ever being there again. Doesn't that sound like the Ahmaud Arbery scenario all over again?

Public streets are just that, not just for white people.

5. He wasn't committing a crime, so the arrest was illegal

and the use of force was unnecessary even if the arrest had been legal. Further, the young man is autistic, his lawyer says the sheriff's dept knows that, and the cop threw him to the ground nonetheless.

11. No, that's the fairy tale you're trying to convince others of.

The rest of us saw a violent, abusive, racist cop unnecessarily escalate a situation where he could justify to himself assaulting a young, unarmed black teen he was more than twice the size of.

13. Hmmmmm.

Well, as usual we can say that refusing a ride from a sheriff's deputy isn't grounds for detention. Or arrest. Or force.

The department will settle because the deputy fucked up/

2. Too many brutes on police forces. It comes out unexpectedly...

from many if you don't immediately obey them. Must be hard to be in a relationship with these inflexible a-holes.
