Seems like he should have worn it instead.

Here's an interesting read. You can listen to the audio book on youtube for free. It's just over 8 hours long. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiGCeg3qK4Q

Well then you're just a fool and not worth attempting to discuss an issue that's obviously too complicated for you to understand.
Rather than making ridiculous statements like I think "they all get what they deserve", why don't you try to defend your analogy? Tell me why a woman, engaged in a perfectly legal activity, is viciously attacked thru no fault of her own, in any way equates to a man, engaged in illegal activity, in a place where he shouldn't be in the first place because of rioting, demonstrations and very high tensions between police and citizens, approaches a police skirmish line and is shoved?
Please tell me. How is that the same? And, please, explain to me how you came to the conclusion I think anyone "had it coming" when I specifically said I don't think he "had it coming" and gave a very valid and coherent explanation of why I think he AND the police were wrong? You've got this all figured out so explain it to me.
You're a perfect example of why discussion rarely leads anywhere. You respond with illogical emotion rather than well thought out reasoning. You damn well know there is no basis for your stating I think women have it coming when they're raped because of how they're dressed. You say stupid shit like that because it's inflammatory and makes you feel like you've captured someone in the perfect "gotcha" moment. It certainly isn't because it makes sense.

Don't wanna get shot by the police?
"Stop Resisting Arrest!"
Rest assured, there is zero justification for what that officer did and there is support for his prosecution here.
Likewise, what one officer does is not used to cast judgment on the other 499,998 officers, much as video of a black, hispanic, or white individual looting a store isn't used to cast judgment on everyone of their respective races.
Irrespective of if a protester is in the wrong or right, an officer should use only appropriate and necessary force, and additionally in these circumstances, all need to be KEENLY aware of the optics.
Officers are under increased pressure these days, and unfortunately the tiny fraction of garbage (somewhere between 1/100 to 1/1000?) is now in an increased position to show their asses, and here the media is focused only on garbage, people get a false impression that the only thing on the road is garbage trucks.
A solution isn't about money, or training, it's somehow cleaving these pieces of garbage from the forces. However, I know of no pragmatic way to do that and that problem exists in EVERY career field, sometimes with far greater ratios (law, politics). Maybe if great minds focused on a resolution for that, we could ditch the questionaires and "lie detectors" which are currently used and do legitimate screening to wash out that shit, leaving only clean water.

She should’ve known better than to wear that skirt.
Makes me wonder about your position on the video of the cop in Washington stating that officers should ask them if what they’re doing is right.
I find it mind blowing that people can put so much effort in to rationalizing the use of extreme violence against fellow citizens.
Now I’m even wondering what your thoughts are on Breonna Taylor. Her boyfriend should have just rolled over and got shot too right? Shoot, maybe he shouldn’t have even contested the charges filed against him...
And please people, chill out. There's no official perspective here outside of issues of firearms. Everyone needs to stop trying to make their opinion the "winner" and respect that in everything, there will be other people here that do not align with your own beliefs and perspectives. Agree to disagree.
