"It's the same reason cops in the US cite noncompliance as a justification for violence."
That's a misunderstanding, if you act like a buffoon the police are required to treat you as one. There not dictators, just blue collar workers doing there jobs.

- jakelazaroff 5y agoThis is the exact thin justification I’m talking about. “Acting like a buffoon” is not an acceptable reason for physical violence.
- anders_p 5y agoThat's just a ridiculous statement. There's hours of video online of American police screaming "stop resisting arrest!", while beating civilians senseless. It's quite clearly a tactic employed by a lot of them to create plausible deniability of their appalling behavior.
- beprogrammed 5y agoJust goes to show what a distorted view of the world you get when watching through the lens of the media. Selection bias, you see the videos that outrage you the most well you don't see the day to day reality. Police don't beat calm sensible people, they beat the kind of people who are out there resisting arrest.
