This is the WalMart parking lot in AZ 2 weeks ago as shot from the dashboard of backup officers as they arrive and attempt to begin arrests. The group is non-compliant throughout, punch and kick officers and actually shoot one of the officers with his own gun.

Notice any differences between this encounter and some other recent dashcam footage ?

ETA: From an article on this brawl:

"The weapons and tactics that we deployed, they didn't work. When we shoot them with Tasers, they have been taught to roll on the ground and break the wires so the electricity stops.

"When they try the ASP police batons, it doesn't bother them. They take multiple hits from the ASPs. They get pepper spayed, they don't care. When they get punched, they don't care. They just continue to go and go."

Fanning also said, "Their mode to fight is to grab the officers' eyes, ears and mouth and pull as hard as they can. That is where most of the officers' injuries came from, ripping at their faces. They don't do very much punching because that doesn't work because of our vests, but ripping at our faces does.

So they were experienced in fighting with cops?

2. White = alive

Unfucking believable! I would hope that this would be the same reaction that would have happened with these particular cops, regardless of race. But I don't believe it for a second.

On another note, these people are just outright nuts!

3. Are they trying to become martyrs? Just what is their deal? I do not get it.

They must be some sort of extremist cult. They appear to have prepared for just such a confrontation. They are from Idaho. End timers? Mormon fundamentalists? WTF?

I agree, if they had been black or Hispanic they would have probably been killed or at least received several critical wounds.

4. Though I couldn't actually see it, sounded like it took quite a while

For even the tasers to come out.

I have no clue what these people believe. But I bet you dollars to doughnuts that they don't support #BlackLivesMatter.

8. I didn't realize anyone died

I would like to know more about that. Was he the one that shot the officer? Who shot first? Many other questions.

I don't want to assume that it was necessary to shoot the guy. I am leery of everything that the cops say. But judging from what we can see, this looks like it might be the first actual justified shooting caught on tape

17. Of course theyre nuts, they believe in talking snakes!!!

19. Why not?

Many religions believe in angels

7. Are these Christian values?

To shove Walmart employees, then brawl with the cops when they show up?

I am proud not to be a Christian.

Agreed - if they were not white, some of them would be dead.

9. One is.

I didn't know that at first. See post #5 by Enthusiast

10. Am I missing something?

All I see is police launching an unprovoked attack against people that didn't listen to their suggestions. Why did they just start beating innocent people?

12. Well you have to follow

Lawful orders when they're given. It's not an option. The cops did the right thing and that entire disgusting family should be in prison imo

[Taitertots]

13. If the cops think their lawful orders are being refused, the correct response is an arrest, not....

an unprovoked violent outburst that causes the death of an innocent person.

"The cops did the right thing and that entire disgusting family should be in prison imo"
No...
The cops acted like violent criminals AND that entire disgusting family should go to trial for their alleged crimes.
