[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neither the officer or the dead woman handled this situation well.

I’m surprised this is (I think?) the first time this has happened, & that  more of these incidents have  not ended up in tragedy, TBH.

Every time a protestor forces these types of conflicts, there is an increased risk of injury or harm  (to the protestor, to the officer, and to bystanders).

There are thousands of videos showing protestors physically interfering with these agents (either using their bodies directly, or their vehicles). Along with spitting at officers, throwing objects at officers and/or their vehicles, etc.

They have every right to stand with signs, shout whatever they want at officers from a non-physically interfering distance, blow whistles and make noise- sure.

If I were to go down to my local supermarket or park, and do any of these things (spitting at people, throwing objects at people, physically obstructing vehicles from leaving the parking lot etc), the police would be called (and rightly so).

If someone came to arrest my (lovely and wonderful) neighbor, I’d stand outside and video it probably. But go and block the officer in with my car? Throw things at him or her? No, of course not.

I expect that there will, unfortunately, be more incidents like this one. Resulting in harm to protestors, officers, the “illegals” themselves (which has also already happened as well- some were shot awhile back) or even just bystanders.

Agree.

The type of people in MN who are directly, physically, attacking and spitting on police, charging at them with cars and other vehicles, are crazy and beyond reckless.

It’s difficult to have sympathy for them when they bring consequences on themselves.[/quote]
