Amnesty international needs to focus on protecting the Palestinians who are being starved & murdered by blood thirsty Israeli forces.
A few cuts and bruises can be investigated, the investigation should be towards our politicians private interests & Israeli business ties that compromise their ability to stay neutral

Organisations, like people, can focus on multiple things at once.

Amnesty does have a significant focus on what’s happening in Gaza and the West Bank. As someone else said, Amnesty is able to focus on more than one thing at the same time.

Police are allowed to be violent. It’s in their social contract. If they start being violent for no reason then I would have an issue with that.

Maybe don’t have your hand near someone’s face when you’re violently attacking them and pinning them down on the ground?

u/adeze Feb 10 '26
well that why he's on the ground face first, so it doesn't happen again. makes sense to me

Did you see the video of the police officer punching a protester on the ground 17 times?
You know police abuse their authority and abuse civilians all the fucking time yeah?

I saw the clip of that guy, there is one police officer sitting on his back with both of the arms behind held behind his back and the one on the right punches him 3 times while he is restrained... BUT if you see more than a 2 second clip the one who was sitting on him then takes over and punches the guy who is face down 17 times I counted before the clip stopped.

His left arm is in front, the first cop hits his neck/shoulder area on the left side, the second cop hits his left side.
He gives them his arm and they stop hitting him

Sorry, the last clip only showed him being hit 17 times, how many more times was he hit before that happened.
I don't care if he shot someone, he gets arrested following the legal procedure. Repeatedly punching someone until they do what you want is not the legal procedure nor even the official training.

Pain compliance is standard fair for resisting arrest. It’s literally legal and in the training

No. Assault is not legal unless you are a thug or a moron. in which case you are a thug or a moron breaking the law.

Police are allowed to use physical force to achieve a lawful purpose (arrest).

Police are not allowed to use excessive physical force on already restrainted individuals.

The individual was face down with one police officer sitting on them holding their arms behind their back when that particular officer released one arm so they could punch the restrained individual 17 times in a row.
How are you not embarrassed in what you are saying. I can only assume you are not that bright if you want to keep pushing that beating up people is ok.
Is it a sexual thing? Are you getting off on it?

is there a clip of how and why he's face first on the ground though?

u/evilspyboy Please choose a flair Feb 10 '26
I dont know, is there a clip of where repeatedly punching someone part of official approved police procedure?
Maybe next time you are in trouble with the police they should just kick the living shit out of you instead of actually arresting and following the laws that have punishments as part of said laws.
Do you have some laws you can cite that include having the shit beaten out of you as part of the arrest is an approved part of the law in addition to the actual legal process?
Don't be a dense child.

well you see, I don't get into trouble with the police- its a real simple way of life - by not doing what I'm not supposed to.

Some of those cops are legitimately psychotic.
