Then you've got the onlookers, copwatchers filming on phones, friends, family and others swarming the scene interjecting and interfering. For all the cop knows one of them are prepared to use a weapon. Just look at the protesters, aiming direct violence at the authorities they've no respect for the police why should they show it back?


They'd be on edge all shift every shift, sooner or later a mistake or over reaction is going to happen. It's a sad society that they live in, be glad to live where we do.

8 minutes kneeling on the blokes neck would’ve ensured he didn’t get his “military grade” AK47 outta his pocket, one would think?
