Not quite sure about that. Please expound, though. Let us know what really happened since you are so enlightened. Proceed

I saw a few of the videos on FB this morning. It doesn't show how things started, but it isn't pretty to say the least.

I haven't watched the video, but from what I've heard I am completely disgusted by it. I'm also disgusted by the fact that no one stepped up and thoroughly beat the lack of common sense out of these guys. I don't care how big the guy is they don't fight back with a broken femur. I'm also disgusted that the victims and others are calling for the COs to be fired for not arresting the group at the time. Without witnessing the act, an investigation must be completed to ensure proper and solid charges.

I saw the videos and they showed a scuffle and a lot of anger.. Along with some derogatory language about police officers. Not much else in the videos I saw.
If the alleged victim's story is true, then yes it's disgusting. But, there is the whole "innocent until proven guilty" thing.
They've got these guys names, faces, employers and associates phone numbers, etc. out there, absolutely running them through the mud. How much of that damage is reversible if it turns out that the one side of the story we've heard isn't gospel truth?

I always do my best to reserve judgement for AFTER a proper investigation has been done. More often than not, there are three sides to a given story. Yes, the video looks very convincing. On the other hand, selective editing can also happen.
If the alleged victim’s claims are true, the criminals need to be prosecuted with maximum charges and jail sentences allowed. If the video was somehow altered and the accusations are false, then the accuser needs to experience tha same fate.
I do find it questionable that in today’s wacky social/political atmosphere that the officers would just walk away unless they had serious doubts. Also, I find it very disturbing that witnesses would rather get video footage than help diffuser a situation.

So you are defending them? No one is going to defend that behavior. Not sure all the facts are out there. JMO, I think some of these things are set-ups or maybe even staged in nature. I would guess those guys were not actively thinking about being confronted that night by someone maybe looking for trouble. I don't know. You can ban yourself, just stop getting on the forum! |

From the video it appears that the white guys are in big trouble, but there is a DNR investigation going on so I will reserve comment until that is complete.

I think weve learned enough over the last couple years to reserve judgement till the facts are out there.

While he is the elected leader of the state I'm not certain he has the authority to directly suspend officers. Then again, I'm not sure suspending officers in the middle of an investigation because of "social acceptance of their actions" is the best choice. Especially since they were following their own protocols. |

Right,wrong, or indifferent, Conservatives are not widely in support of the BLM movement and pandering to the left with factless suspensions is likely political suicide for an already disliked conservstive governor.

I think people associate monroe county with the peoples republic of Bloomington. Most of it is very remote and there are plenty of places you would not want to get lost no matter what color you are. And most of those people living in those areas just want to be left alone.

I read the actual post the guy put up and watched the interview on ABC and reading between the lines I picked up that he was probably trespassing. Definitely doesn't make what happened right. It sounds like the two worst kinds of people for this kind of situation met, racist white people and a social justice warrior. The guy who posted supposedly has been kicked out of BLM and is banned from most of the bars in Bloomington. |
