I did not see them doing anything on video other than some of them being very upset over the cop's aggression. They were milling around, standing or sitting on the ground in the video I saw. One was lying on the pavement. They were not dressed like gang members or thugs, (at all), and other than the kid who rushed the cop, I saw total acquiesce to police orders.
The cop was a bully and psychologically unsuited for dealing with the situation. Like his Chief of Police said, "12 officers responded and 11 of them performed according to their training and our policies." Why do so many of you defend bad cops? It's like those old bumper stickers during Nixon's presidency that said, "My Country, Right or Wrong."
Really? Not me. Wrong is wrong. Millions of people have died for our right to stand up to fascist authority. Fk that attitude.
