I'm not suggesting anything.

I assume that the 90% is hyperbole, but given that he has a thin blue line avatar, I'm probably giving him far too much credit, admittedly.

Good lord. That person wasn’t implying that 90% of arrests are like that, but that in 90% of arrests the officer is putting themselves in harms way.

Is this supposed to be a credible claim? (Ignoring the fact that pairing that claim with the video is, quite directly, implying exactly what I said it implies).

I should say I'm not suggesting any of the things you were asking about, not that I'm literally not suggesting anything.

Newly released footage shows an officer tasing for peacefully protesting the police.

His supervisor knew what was up, as well as the jury who gave him $175k. Hopefully it's used as a lesson for future training.

I couldn't see what happened at the end, but I heard one gunshot as the cop cars were driving up. Couldn't have been from the police, right?
