👏👏👏👏

Now the governor and mayor of Minnesota and Minneapolis want to cooperate. Lol

 

Violent protesters will always be met with the least amount of force necessary to subdue an individual.  That is the law.  Violent protester is your probable cause.  That law has always been on the books.

As my background is military/‘foreign affairs’ oriented and engineering—not law enforcement—I was interested in any SCOTUS rulings on distance requirements during an active law enforcement activity. I wasn’t sure of it myself. I just always tried to stay back.

Clearly, Good wasn’t following these guidelines, and Pretti is still not clear as—in the Good incident—the first videos only pick up at the confrontation, and don’t show the full interaction. Pretti was obviously on scene before the widely circulated videos begin. What was he doing? Was he interacting with anyone?

In the rush for each ‘side’ to claim the narrative, videos are being presented that only show what the videographer wants to show.

A layman’s breakdown of distance rulings and rights:

I have seen multiple videos in both cases. Have you read the link I posted?

I stand by my statement that—in both cases—the deceased and others were performing illegal actions according to the courts. Just the acts of whistling, yelling, distracting LEO’s, or encroaching on an area is illegal according to the courts.

Does that mean Good and/or Pretti should have been shot? IMHO…I’d think there could have been a lesser alternative chosen. But, I’m not into second-guessing someone in a conflict situation.

I’ve been there in slightly different situations. Although, I will say my situation was me or them. Different.
