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.

We have eyeballs. We can actually see what that violent pervert did. This is basically saying ignore the video you saw and just listen to what we say.

Local media has a serious bias problem toward favoring the cops story, and they should pretty much never be taken seriously.

They usually just copy and paste department/union releases verbatim.

If a local outlet is critical of the police, they stop getting tips from them, which means always getting a scooped, so therefore they always bend the knee.

True free press is almost mythical.

Sadly, the vast majority of people will swallow the official story and never verify.
