Sledge, I wasn't referring to you specifically....my statements were more general in nature.
But if a cop screws up and acts like a total jerk I've got no problem in calling them out either. Short of her trying to stab him with something his action was uncalled for.
And this is exactly my point....because we DON'T know what she or ANYONE ELSE was doing just prior to this video clip. These videos exist to serve one purpose only: to demonize the police. If they existed for any other purpose, they would be showing the entire episode. As such, people are getting a rise over 3 seconds of a contact that probably was at the tail end of a contact several minutes long. All this does is spread dis-information and hides the TRUE purpose of these protests.
And for the record, there isn't a single police officer out there that I trust. At all. Not one. I am as critical about police as they come...but this video and ALL the others like it don't tell the entire story about what is happening there. I won't join in on the cop bashing until the entire episode is released so I can see for myself what transpired. Until then, its just hearsay.
