@vice@newsbots.eu LOL

@freemo @l0wk3y In a sense I do care, but I don't think PR should prevent officers from doing their job. There are other things officers can do to build mutual goodwill, as I listed in my above reply.

@freemo @l0wk3y

> Did the people who witness the situation say to themselves "fuck the police im more pissed".

I don't care.

> Just because people didnt rush the cop in anger doesnt mean that the impression they left on the community lead the bigger picture in the right direction.

Again, don't care. Doing their job and ensuring the safety of the community is probably more important than PR.

We're seeing this now actually, police making PR moves that is forcing them to commit more harm to citizens, such as using rubber bullets instead of tear gas because people are saying "look, they're gassing the people! The barbarians." Tear gas rarely leaves permanent injuries like rubber bullets can. People say "oh they're just rubber bullets" but they can actually be extremely dangerous!

> People are easily triggered right now is all.

While many conservatives, including the ones I watch and listen to, are opposed to officers kneeling, and frankly while I'm not a huge fan of it from a small picture viewpoint (for imagery reasons I don't think having a bunch of white cops kneeling like Chauvin did is necessarily a good look but that's just me) I think it's important and at time necessary to join the protesters and show that you support them to build mutual goodwill between the officers and the citizens, for this very reason. Remember, cops can get triggered too, and that leads to even worse results since they're armed and stuff, so it's important to keep the citizens happy when possible.

@freemo Well, they clearly deescalated it 😜 Again, the question is whether or not the actions they took to do so were warranted. I think not, but only in consideration to the person's age. They overestimated his strength, thus committing a potentially lethal flaw in dishing out the gentle shove.

Carrying him away or arresting him calmly and peacefully would've been a better move IMHO. Sort of glad they resigned. While it is one mistake, it was a potentially lethal one, and the tolerance for such mistakes should be low.

@l0wk3y sorry IDK how my reply got orphaned from the original thread smh
