(38,601 posts)But I guess it shows they CAN detain people without abusing them.

(12,462 posts)He was unarmed and in process of surrender. The tackle was unnecessary.
but he's still alive and there was no knee on his neck.
could have been handled with no force at all. Tacking a guy onto a paved road. What if he bounced the back of his head off the pavement and died?
I dont know why it's so hard for cops to just not attack people who aren't a threat to anyone. You have a dozen guys armed to the teeth and a guy standing there in flip flops just talking and that was needed?

(8,854 posts)Exactly. So many here are saying that his white skin and privilege are the reasons he's not dead. I'd say that it's sheer luck.
No weapons, hands raised.

(3,530 posts)I'm not debating whether or not the tackle was warranted. But to claim his hands were raised when they tackled him is false.

(3,530 posts)They were as far from being raised as possible.
Just look at the video.
Im not sure what you are referring to when you say they were not at his waist. I didnt see anyone argue that they were.

(25,642 posts)He was clearly showing no intent and no weapon by lifting his hands and arms away from his body.
I cant stand this guy but in no way should he have been approached him this fashion. This is why people get killed. He easily could have suffered a concussion or worse and it could happen to you or me.

(47,737 posts)I could see no reason to physically take him down. Just have him put his hands behind his back and handcuff him. I swear, these people get their training from watching TV cop shows.

(12,161 posts)He was being cooperative and wasn't resisting arrest. Slamming him to the ground was wrong.
I find it disturbing when DUers suddenly cheer for police abuse.
I dont care who their victim is.

(14,206 posts).... tackling him and throwing him off his feet and to the pavement.
He is a Nazi scumbag,.. but even still.
Is/was this the suicide episode too that recently ran in the press ?

(14,206 posts)FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. President Donald Trumps former campaign manager Brad Parscale is hospitalized after he reportedly threatened to harm himself while armed with a gun inside of his Florida home, according to a report from WPLG Local 10 News in Miami.

(7,510 posts)Suppose you ask him nicely to put his hands behind his back to be cuffed and he refuses. Now you have a big problem of persuading a drunk, angry, large male to come along nicely without the element of surprise on your side. This is likely to end much worse than tackling him by surprise.

(14,206 posts)Brad is falling from his perch of fancy homes and fancy cars and the repo man is about to come knocking.
Like all shooting stars,...
There is often an astounding and dazzling display,...
But then in an instant,.. all the shooting star is capable of is reduced to a mere puff and trail of hot steam, gases & smoke.
Brad Parscal the Nazi knows his shooting star days are over,.. the repo man is about to show on his doorstep,... this media marvel meteorite has seen his best days and is about to crash back down on earth.
Brad's short while at the apex and pinnacle of the good life and living large is about to expire. He decided the best way to deal with this impending downfall of richness,.. was to off his family and then off him self.
What a Nazi coward,.. their first inclination when they have a problem or difficulty is to run and get your biggest guns,... then shoot the place up. No one,.. I mean no one challenges or de-thrones an alpha male Fascist macho Nazi meathead.
They Bakered the Nazi bastard Brad... so he would not carry out this suicide fantasy which included offing his family.
The Baker Act,...
Baker Act | UF Health, University of Florida Health
The Baker Act is a Florida law that enables families and loved ones to provide emergency mental health services and temporary detention for people who are impaired because of their mental illness, and who are unable to determine their needs for treatment.

Dawn-ald trDump is a very very dangerous man. Everything,.. I mean EVERYTHING,.. this evil man touches dies an agonizing and prolonged death. One can only hope that he meets the same demise.
Remember,.. come November 3,.. drag yourself, your family, and your friends to the ballot box,.. and vote this evil fucker out of office,.. for the sake of our Democracy.
