By his own account, he was ignoring police officers while interfering with their work at the scene of an accident.
You can't do that and expect to not get physically removed.
- Karunamon 13y agoEven then, that still doesn't necessitate violence and solitary confinement. Stop making excuses for bad behavior!
- danielweber 13y agoSo when he says "that doesn't excuse what the officers did" you think he's excusing their behavior?
- Karunamon 13y ago>You can't do that and expect to not get physically removed. This is an excuse/rationalization.
- danielweber 13y agoYes, physically removed from the immediate situation which is treating an accident victim and the first responders don't want to figure out whether the dumb white kid who keeps sticking around is an off-duty EMT. He absolutely should have been physically removed from that particular situation since he wasn't leaving on his own. This doesn't mean he should have had his hands stepped on or been put in solitary to teach him a lesson.
- diminoten 13y agoI'm not talking about the violence and solitary confinement, I'm talking about the use of physical force and subsequent arrest.
- a8000 13y agoThe point when he was in handcuffs on the ground would have been where he should have waited the situation out kept quiet and not talk to officers "how he appreciates their service." or enquire if their actions where "standard protocol". That is just asking for trouble.
- Karunamon 13y ago> That is just asking for trouble. It's also perfectly legal and doesn't deserve the treatment he received.
