the media exposed what these cops did and somehow its the medias fault. the man was in an accident and could not speak well they called the cops on him and instead of trying to listen to the man they went straight to violence.

I don’t think the police did anything wrong. Stop resisting and don’t do drugs. I heard this guy had a troubled past so obviously he can’t follow simple directions or laws. Based on what I know and how I interpret the events, I have zero sympathy. People need to learn to cooperate with authorities. “Oh, but they are trained in de-escalation techniques…..”. Sure, but they only work if the person wants to LISTEN to what you are saying.

[@mamok3479]

This can be you or anyone, if they miss understood your reaction you will get killed .

[@iMatti00]

Well… True, but you’re missing a huge piece of the issue. I’ve seen several people who have been beaten or roughly handled by cops because the cops thought the person was refusing to respect their authority and “comply“, but the person was really in a medical situation. One woman lost a chunk of her brain due to a cop not understanding it was a medical situation. He didn’t beat her anything on that one though. Other people have been beaten when they were going through a seizure and after you come out of it and you’re disoriented. And this is even though their family members around them told the cops it was Medical, but the cops blocked that out or something. So if you’re going to mention that people should just comply, you also need to mention the cops should do better.
