Bodycam footage is disturbing. https://youtube.com/watch?v=8nvbnvjutGA
Literally by the time they went to arrest him the band had finished their set and were ready to go. All they had to do was wait 2 minutes and they would've got what they wanted.
Sure, a majority of the initial conversation is unintelligible because of the band, but I seriously doubt the director said anything that provocative... if anything the officers are the ones trying to provoke a reaction out of him, and he's just asking them to stay out of his face.
I remember back when it was just a "couple" of rotten apples, but just like in the phrase, it seems they've ruined the whole damn batch. Remember kids, A.C.A.B.
Even if he did, not illegal.
ACAB indeed..
Of course, but the fact he wasn't even being aggressive/provocative towards them makes it all the more worse
We have given the police decades to reform themselves and they have refused. It doesn't matter at this point if any are good, the entire concept needs to be rebuilt
On the bright side, all these highschool kids are learning early that ACAB.
Holy crap I've never seen such an unnecessarily escalated situation in my life. Just look at all the chaos going on by the end of that video, and for what, because the band needed 2 extra minutes to finish their set?
