I’m cautiously optimistic, but then I read things like this.

Yeah, I can’t even believe this is going to be close, it wouldn’t be in a sane world but ours is anything but…

You haven't even seen what happened before the video, that led to the interaction, but your ready to hang? It's possible, and even probable, that there's more video that isn't out for public consumption. Apparently it doesn't matter???

The problem, at least as I see it, is that very few of us tell an accountant how they should be doing their job or a doctor, architect or masseuse but everyone thinks they know how cops should be doing theirs. Everyone is an expert.

It just never seems to occur to people that there are things that they don't know that they don't know. And with all due respect to you, your comments about the radio and backup, the guy "just sitting there" and the pepper spray reveal that you absolutely don't know.

And people wonder why no one wants to be a cop. It's a mystery.
That works both ways.

I can't ever remember not agreeing with the police actions but this one I just can't agree with that. If I was on a jury deciding this case that officer would be in deep shit. My problem is beating him with hand cuffs. May as well had brass knuckles.

Polls and stuff...

The final survey from Atlas Intel shows Trump is ahead in all swing states by 1 point to 6.5 points, with the pollster saying he has “significant margins” over Harris in Nevada and Arizona.

A model produced by poll analyst Nate Silver, who used to operate the FiveThirtyEight website, has given Trump a 53.8 percent chance of winning over Harris’s 45.8 percent.

Silver, at the same time, has accused some pollsters of putting their “finger on the scale” and lying to keep the presidential race close in polls, according to a podcast interview last week.

While Georgia, Wisconsin, and Michigan don’t report by party affiliation, four other battleground states do.

In Arizona, registered Republicans are ahead of registered Democrats by about 180,000 votes, while unaffiliated voters make up about 26.7 percent of the total votes cast, the tracker shows. The state only has mail-in ballots, not early in-person voting.

In Nevada, Republicans have a 40,000-vote lead in the early-vote total, buoyed by a strong in-person vote showing, the data show.

Days after early voting opened in North Carolina, registered Republicans took a slight lead over Democrats and have maintained the advantage as of Sunday, according to the tracker. GOP voters currently have a 42,000-vote lead over Democrats in that state.

While only 1.7 million people have voted early in Pennsylvania, Democrats have a 400,000-ballot lead over Republicans, the tracker shows. Pennsylvania, which has about 9 million registered voters, only reports mail-in ballots.

Agreed. Looks like our Barney has traded in his doctorate of decency for a straight up thug cop indoctrination.
Sad and pathetic.

One more point as this comment raised my blood pressure a bit...

If a person is just "sitting down" and not complying with lawful orders, the cop is ABSOLUTELY expected to put hands on that person. In this case, more than once, the guy slapped their hands away, took an aggressive stance and/or twisted away to get free from contact.

So yea, he got fvcking tazed. And that was clearly appropriate. That is beyond doubt in this situation and frankly I'm surprised that anyone would disagree.
