What's this?

Hahaha. I didn’t prejudge.


I gave an opinion based on his behavior displayed in the video. Nobody put those words in his mouth for him. His actions were wrongperiod. It happens. You acknowledged such but want to try to qualify or justify them for some odd reason instead of just saying they were wrong. It’s ok to say the cop was in the wrong and could’ve handled the situation much better (regardless of any made up hypotheticals you created in your head). It’s ok to expect better from our police and want them to be more professional. It doesn’t make you un-American or a bad person.

BTW, their own police chiefs called their actions unacceptable. “What we saw in that video isn’t in keeping with good policing,” Williams said in an interview with NBC affiliate KPNX. “This is not what should have happened in that circumstance.”
That’s pretty much all I’ve said right there.
