I always call neutral when videos cut everything leading up to the focus of these short clips.
I'm not saying this was justified, I'm saying someone needs to show me the entire context before I buy in. Was he throwing rocks at them before this? Waving a weapon? Lighting shit on fire? Or was he really just standing there the whole time doing nothing wrong? We can't tell from this video. and I certainly don't just take the video posters word for it anymore.
We have to stop falling for this stuff, at least until we see the entire event and can verify things. I've been fooled too many times and it won't happen anymore.
