> The lengths that people will go to too justify police just killing people is insane. Please avoid hyperbole on HN.

  Honest question, based on the bill sponsors background, his own words and the current policing situation in the US; what part of this is hyperbole? People actively defended the police officers that killed George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. Not trying to start an argument, just interested in your view.

    The OP is comparing concern for people getting too close while filming to murder. I believe you’re intelligent enough to already know this and you’re also intelligent enough to know there is a reasonable argument for the use of force in both cases you mentioned.

      A "reasonable argument" for the George Floyd case? Seriously?

      No, the bills author specifically referrered to people suffering understandable "tragic" consequences if they got too close to police, justifying police killing them. If you think there was a reasonable argument for the violence perpetrated in either of my 2 examples then I very much don't think we are on the same page.
