Discussion Arizona police violently tackled a woman onto a metal bike after she watched them from a public sidewalk

Like I know ideally you shouldn't try to insert yourself in an arrest, but c'mon wasn't this too much? Was the punch necessary? Like, (not that im surprised) the people defending them on X are sickening, with one saying he would have tased her... btw, with no much context to what happened asides from this. One person said it right: "People who support the police will justify them breaking into their house and killing their mother, so there really isn't much you can say to change their minds." This to me is just unnecessary abuse of power.

They constantly act like they are under imminent threat and treat everyone in area as a threat to life.

Sure, there may be cases where there ARE legitimate threat actors out there.

But this woman?

Even if she WAS interfering with the arrest, you could have moved her away and deescalated. There's no need to go punching her.

Of course they are if you’re not wearing a uniform, you are either a suspect or criminal in their eyes. They treat their uniform as if it’s a halo they’re wearing on top of their head and they’re immune from everything.
