I dont think it helps us to promote such crud. The truth is bad enough.

Whatta winna!I'd suggest you look more carefully .
And when would a cop put a protesters hand on a weapon / baton except as a excuse.

(54,770 posts)8. No he didn't, the policeman even pries the baton out of his hand.
The policeman put his baton down to help hold him down (which I doubt was smart and would like to know what the guy did to get deserved to get arrested).
Now if the protester was dead and they left the baton in his hand, youd be right. But, thats not the case and you need to take another look at higher magnification.
Lives matter, but BS wont help save any.

(2,533 posts)10. He forced his hand on the baton-seriously why?
I do believe what I see.
And he clearly forces the mans hand on the baton.
