There are at least one protest at Victorville, about 30 miles from here. And now there are rumors about the Walmarts in the High Desert targeted for looting tonight. We have a Super one here in my end of town.
Edited to add: the Victorville protest is peaceful. Rumors are what is closing down things.Last edited by DesertBerean; 05-31-2020, 09:08 PM.Watch your links! http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/fa...corumetiquette

My town has imposed a curfew of 6 pm - 6 am. There is supposed to be a protest on Main Street at a store area. It's pretty near some major businesses so IDK.
Prayers for us.Watch your links! http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/fa...corumetiquette

Could be an instance of a technique that can be done right, but if done wrong kills the person. And I don't think even the people who taught, or used, the knee-to-the-neck technique (if that is what it is called?) would say that it was done right here.

Think about this, Leon ---
The officer is limited to force "such is necessary to effect the arrest". He can get in a lot of trouble going past that, particularly with his own bodycam, and everybody else having phone/cameras.
the subject is under no such rules, and, for example, if he is an escaped felon, or just committed a murder, he has no qualms about killing that officer to get away.
ADDITIONALLY, many times, the officer has no idea what he's facing until it's over, often in as little as a blink of an eye.
ETA: In a struggle, the officer is trying to subdue the subject, and is NOT reaching for his own gun, as he's busy trying to get his handcuffs out --- but the subject will OFTEN try to wrestle the officer's weapon away from him.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
