    It’s perhaps worse when they pepper-spray an elderly person in the face, but every assault by federal agents on citizens should peeve everyone all the time.

      every assault by federal agents on citizens

      Or non-criminals in general, including non-citizens, for that matter.

        Nah you don’t need an exception there for criminals. If someone isn’t holding a gun, an officer should never have a gun out.

        Everyone is innocent until the trials over, so there are no criminals being arrested in the street unless they broke out of jail/prison.

        So if a dash/door/body w.e can shows officers taking someone to the ground without showing the person putting up a fight first, the officers should be suspended pending the trials for assault/battery for any involved.
