Isn't that assault?

Oh Seattle PD ... sigh

crazy bitch

More context needed to make a decision on this. What happened before this was shot. Something caused the cops to circle the bicycles and take a defensive stance.

MOAR CONTEXT @!

It must be tough to be a cop in a town with so many dipshits. On the other hand, I don't see why she had to let one go.

RAGE!

No, not is it's a police officer. They are allowed to do what they want.

They aren't supposed to but the system makes sure that there's never any repercussions. In every practical and real sense they are a law unto themselves.

A google search for 'cop fired' returns over 31 million results. Of course, many of those refer to the same story, but nevertheless...

Which dipshits do you refer to? The citizen dipshits that didn't turn and run away when the cop tells them to 'step back' as they walked past (and stepped back in doing so), or the dipshit cops that consistently violate civil rights and assault/kill citizens with impunity and glee?

I think it must be tough to be a citizen in a town with so many dipshit cops.

So then yes...it's clear assault, but won't be prosecuted because of the job the perpetrator has....right?

"Dominic: What do you think will happen?

Finch: What usually happens when people without guns stand up to people *with* guns."

My history teacher in high school was very civic minded. He was a Quaker too, but I believe he converted after serving in the army during Vietnam. I will never forget that he us that protesting is important, but if cops/national guard/ people with guns show up - get away. It creates a dangerous and volatile situation.

I really don't believe that the majority of police or protesters are bad people and want these kind of things to happen. In the heat of the moment things escalate rapidly and get out of control. People make bad decisions - now we capture them and put them on youtube.

Hmm, suing for half a million dollars is a bit silly. I wonder why lawyers do that, it just makes an otherwise completely justified case seem like a farce.
