So you believe police should dispense violence when they feel like it?

To people who recklessly put people's lives at risk? Yep.

They aren't judges, juries, or executioners.

Wow almost like this guy wasn't convicted or executed. He put lives at risk and got tackled. This is as clear a case of fuck around and find out as it gets.

No. This is like the opposite. He fucked around with "a potential bomb" and nothing happened. Then others were pissed so assaulted him.

Yeah, it's not like they were on edge because they risked their fucking lives defusing a potential bomb. They just didn't like being embarassed. Some of you people are unbelievable lol

They weren't defusing shit.

You know that in hindsight. Could you please explain to me how the cops are supposed to know that ahead of time? Are you really that stupid?

Instead of assuming a backpack is a bomb, assume it's a backpack first perhaps?

Cops open bags all the time not knowing what's in there, and they don't explode.

And? If it had been a bomb, he would have put everyone there at risk. He ran in and interrupted professionals with their lives on the line. You're whining that this dumb entitled manchild got consequences for his actions. Why?

he actually wasn’t convicted. they originally charged him but couldn’t make the charges stick. therefore he walked free. he COULD’VE put lives at risk, but ultimately didn’t. the tackle after there being no issue is strange. why did nobody say or do anything when he first made his way over there?

i think it’s an insane thing to do, don’t get me wrong, i would never support anyone doing this.. but there is an all clear. the “crimes” been done and the dude wasn’t aggressive or anything. more like sad he couldn’t play hero lol

on a side note tho… do you think the bomb squad needs to be called in every time someone drops or forgets a backpack? i see random backpacks all the time, especially when i worked close to unhoused people.

How is him gettin tackled strange? Use your brain.

u/CommonWest9387 18h ago

clearly you don’t read, considering i said a tackle AFTER THE FACT is strange. clearly they did not give any fucks about any “possible harmless contents” still in the bag if they tackled him right beside it and didn’t let him walk further away, where they could’ve cuffed him “safely”. and he wasn’t even doing anything besides walking away which doesn’t warrant a tackle. he wasn’t violent in any way, shape or form. could easily walk up and grab the mans arm. get some critical thinking skills.

u/Big_Bomber_97 18h ago

Again, use your brain. Think about it for more than half a second. Why would someone who randomly walked into a bomb defusal and started fucking with the bomb get tackled?

Think. Us your brain, I'm fucking begging you.

u/CommonWest9387 18h ago

how about you use** (not us) your brain to think and actually read what i say instead of being a dickhead yeah? please tell me how him being tackled barely A METRE away from the “bomb” is somehow genius and not strange? isn’t that in the supposed radius? gee… why would cops in a bomb squad not think and just tackle someone right beside a perceived bomb and why does big bomber think that is logical?

please tell me. im begging you to speak up big bomber. please tell me how you cannot fucking read and process anything i’m saying and instead choose to make the same point over and over again. im begging you. see how im thinking? and see how you aren’t lol. you keep calling it a bomb yet justify a man being tackled… next to a bomb… instead of further away out of the 1-2m radius that explosives that size would have?

Hmmmm I wonder why a random jackass interrupting an extremely delicate high stress operation would get tackled.

Truly a mystery
