Is anyone saying he didn't deserve some sort of action? The issue is with the actions that were taken by police, which were not fitting.
He didn't deserve any sort of action. The stadium was clearing out just fine. He was finishing up and was assaulted for making music.
In what kind of fascist hellscape does that warrant police action?
These cops were way out of line.
A band was playing a song and you think this requires police action, unreal.
You're absolutely right.
They should have tear gassed the entire band
Nah, kettled them in with riot shields, beat them to the ground, pepper sprayed them while they were down, and then shot them claiming they misunderstood the writhing around in pain for reaching for a concealed weapon.
Airstrike. It's the only way to make sure.
Goddamn band leaders...
"Chief? Do you think dogs and a firehouse might send the wrong signal?"
Yes and clearly the answer to stopping the band is to assault and tase someone. There's just no other way to handle that situation, just start tazin'
So just do what authority tells you to do with no justification, or else violence will be done to you?
In what world should people who are just playing music be subject to violence and arrest?
These are rhetorical questions. I'm not actually interested in your response.
You should try re reading what you just said
Could you stop? I’m white too, and when you pull this shit I get lumped in with you.
Why would the cops get to decide how quickly people have to leave the stadium? Do you think there is a law that the stadium must be empty exactly 23 minutes after the game? Do you think the cops are experts that were trained on the amount of time that people can safely linger in a stadium after a game? The cops wanted to go home so they abused their authority and then violently assaulted a school band director in front of a bunch of kids.
