Funny how media words a Riot ... Its a just Gathering ... LOL

Are people not allowed to defend their lives anymore?

IMO if you stand in front of a police car in a threatening manner, the engine revs loudly and you do not move... expect the next thing to happen to be you getting run over by a police car. Having said that if the cop had done the exact same thing 12x slower, we wouldn’t be here.

Car go on road. Road for car. Man go on sidewalk. Sidewalk for man 🤷

If I was the guy hit I wouldn’t take the settlement

I saw the video. It was HILARIOUS!!

Remember, it would not be a criminal offense to produce a weapon and defend yourself against any on duty, uniformed member of the TacomaPD that acts in a threatening manner or is using excessive force like the officers did here. No state or federal laws would be violated.

Lol that’s one way to describe it. Or we could call it how it is and a mob of rioters surrounded and officers car and we’re going to kill him if he did not escape.

Hopefully we see some action
