If a weapon is involved that's endangering somebody's life, that's a different situation.

LOL says the Grand Wizard who thinks black folks should just "get over" 400 years of oppression.

You've certainly not had enough contact with law enforcement to understand that officers are going to place their safety #1 and that they should. One mistake can land an officer in the morgue. An officer would be foolish not to go into an arrest with someone with a record like the suspect here and not deploy a greater degree of force in order to keep control over the situation.

So either you're sheltered and have no realistic idea as to how badly the criminal subset can behave when confronted with folks in positions of authority or you tend to side with criminals over law enforcement because you have some sort of problem with authority. Either way.
