The police officers were shown destroying water bottles and dismantling a medical station set up by protesters.

near a protest in North Carolina on Tuesday has medical staff — and the city's mayor — wondering what the department's strategy was.

The protest marked the third day of demonstrations in Asheville in response to the death of a black man, George Floyd, while in the custody of Minneapolis police officers. The incident was"very shocking, very jarring," said Miller. She also said they had a verbal agreement with the Asheville Police Department to be present, even after curfew.

"Because water bottles, in particular, have been continuously used over the last three nights, officers destroyed them," Zack said."Officers also searched for potentially dangerous objects, such as explosives."

Se los va a cargar la verga pinches puercos.

Another Siri’s clinic. How handy

What is wrong with this world?

Good maybe instead of protesting they could be out like doing some constructive last week when PEACEFUL protests took place for their jobs and livelihood democrats ripped them as terrible selfish people well who selfish now?

We have gone from calling healthcare workers heroes to roughing them up & destroying their supplies in a very short time period.

Very very peaceful....

Wow.

Taking away the bottles that are being thrown at them, taking away water so they can leave when curfew set and with no water no more threat

Destroying the bottled water makes sense when you know that the rioters were freezing them and throwing them at the police when they didn't have bricks.

Anyone see this dude here tell him I said this is not a literature class and if he can't handle the truth he shudnt be tweeting ...why is it that when they can't come bk with a reasonable come bk they pick on punctuation and vocabulary 🙄🙄

That's not a medic station, it's a supply station for protesters. Since it was after curfew, there was no need for it, and it should have been gone. Sorry, no pity from me. I have over 25 years in EMS, and never saw a medic station like that. It's BS.

WTH

The police officers should be ashamed of doing that to protesters that have the right to protest.

So take some legal action against them, don’t destroy further, punish them...

Textbook assault and battery PoliceViolence PoliceReformNow BlueLivesMatter

this is not a ados movement. These people are the undocumented and their kids trying to use the race card as an excuse for never applying for citizenship. Arrest them and pull their papers DHSgov realDonaldTrump find out who these people really are.

GOOD!

Why was this ok? The officers should restock everything. Peaceful people were helping peaceful people. What is it going to take for rogue police to stop harming people?

do these folks have any leadership at all.

Peaceful protesters don’t need a secret field medical set up especially one that has bricks and weapons.

And police wonder why people distrust them? Ham-fisted, ignorant and insensitive as hell! These people were trying to help you fools in Ashville! JusticeForGeorge

Oh great another example of why people shud be out there screaming for more better justice system ... I'm sure those assholes were ' put on desk duty' I hope to god every disgraceful cop during this protest get immediately fired we don't need ppl like this

'aggressive dismantling' Do they have a SJW thesaurus that I am not aware of?

Must be rotten and expired

Dismantling and destroying have two very different meanings

This photo shows civilians. There are no police officers.

Isn’t this private property? Seems like criminal mischief, a crime.

So wrong. WHY? Hope they caught who did it. This needs to stop it makes no sense. Go after any looters and leave them alone

Is it any wonder ppl say the police are out of control? SMDH

CityofAsheville ChiefDavidZack EstherManheimer Gross, gross, gross.

Remember the Ashville Police harassed a young Black man trying to get home from work a couple of years ago. They kept following him and joking about it and he was only trying to get hom. Their hand are definitely DIRTY.

I thought destroying property wasn’t violence? That’s what I heard.

They didnt need it they r going home

doing their job - perfect

Fake News
