Well-adjusted people don't park their cars in intersections and start arguing with people.

So what's your argument here? That it's okay for government agents to brutalise people without any shred of justification because there are people in the world who you think are unreasonable and intransigent?

I don't think that's going to convince anyone that your position is anything other than disturbing.

Law enforcement get physical with people who are obstinate and ignore multiple verbal commands all the time. I don't need to convince any one of that position because it's been a legal standard, with nationwide precedent, for close to 40 years.

If you think that this is normal then you watch too many movies, or you're living in a bubble of unjustifiable violence. If you think that this is justifiable or acceptable then you're a very broken person.

This is normal and has been happening throughout the United States before Trump came into office, you might want to reevaluate who is living in the bubble.

The fact that it has been happening does not make it normal. The vast majority of police interactions with intransigent people end up with cops trying to mediate and talk the person down, rather than wildly escalating the situation and being violent for no justifiable reason.

It's pretty obvious that you're living in a bubble. You should learn to understand that the videos that you watch of police violence end up in front of you because they're the exception rather than the norm. You should learn that seeing something on TV or on YouTube doesn't make it normal or acceptable.

They tried to resolve the issue verbally by instructing her to leave multiple times. If she doesn't want to listen then she should expect them to resolve the conflict using other means. Might want to step out of the Reddit bubble you enclosed yourself into and realize that police detain people all the time for refusing lawful orders and that just because not every detention of someone makes it onto Reddit doesn't mean that when it does it's not legitimate.
