It's important to consider all relevant elements of these incidents.
Both started with foolish individuals being told by radical groups they should interfere in a live police action.
That has no relevance at all. You don't kill someone then start going back in time to find some sort of justification. You only kill them in the moment you determine it is necessary to preserve your safety or the safety of someone else.
This guy, on the ground, unarmed, was no threat. Maybe the shooter thought he was armed, sure. But in fact, he was not. It is an error by law enforcement any way you look at it.
Is it legal to interfere with law enforcement?
Do you think law enforcement should shoot unarmed trespassers?
How did he interfere? He was not reprimanded, did not disobey orders i know of, was not at a police scene... Is talking to law enforcement interfering? Does he have the right to have his phone out of his pocket? Is it legal to help a lady up off the ground?
Let's be polite and play the game of I will answer your questions if you answer mine.
I answered the first. He did not interfere. The second must have come from a bad AI prompt. You go.
Are you quite sure that he didn't interfere? What was happening in the lead up to this disaster? In a general sense he was certainly interfering, and that was the purpose of the people who were there specifically to confront law enforcement officers. This is different from the immediate incident, but if I walk up on a cop who was interacting with another member of the public and started to insert myself into that situation, might that not constitute interfering?
Actually you dont know that he was there to interfere, but given him recording everything he clearly was observing.
Now I am not sure if pushing a lady to the ground is the same as arresting her, but if it is, if those words were uttered, then yes he was interfering. But I don't believe she was being arrested simply because she was merely assaulted, then left there on the ground for a bit. When they arrest these ladies, they normally have 3 or 4 guys piling onto them.
Do you know if she was under arrest at the moment that he tried to help her to her feet?
I generally have a dim view of these situations. I dont mind the officers pushing her so much. She was trying to get in their business. But pepper spraying the guy that helps her to her feet? Why?
