    1. @Dave Schultz wow quick you better go hide back under your rock before you get detected than!!

    2. @Dave Schultz you really can not even use google https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/g5pqk4/german-neo-nazis-are-getting-explosives-training-at-a-white-supremacist-camp-in-russia

      There have been many times when nazis have been rioting. Furthermore, there have been confirmed, that some right wingers have been impersonating Antifa online and on the streets, starting violence. It has been confirmed by FBI report that stated that there is no indication actual antifa has been involved in protests. Not to mention videos where you can see police breaking in the jewel shop. But why am I telling you this, you are russian paid right wing terrorist. Here to destroy US, so Russia could feel more powerful

    1. @Rino Ponce yes cops are the direct descendants of the PADDY ROLLERS. Their purpose is to keep oppressed people in line.

    2. Rino Ponce if people didn’t eat bread then we wouldn’t need bakers. Therefore there is no baker misconduct when they poison your bread.

      That’s what you sound like.

    3. @98LowDown non violent protesters ok, we have that right. Looters should be arrested not shot.

    4. America wants to take away the police!!??? You have gone down the path of insanity. The rest of the world is laughing. But also praying. Get a hold of yourselves. From Canada 🇨🇦

  1. For those 57 cops who “protested” to resignation are a blessing to the public. Obviously they all examples of police brutality. Should they remain on the force, they will eventually be portrayed in future videos of their brutal treatment to the public.

    1. These are scared law enforcement officers. They should not be on the streets.
      The confident ones are like we saw this past week putting their batons down and
      hugging protesters. Who happen to be the people in the communities they serve.

  2. In the 30s they were called Brown Shirts. Only difference is that was Hitler’s Germany and it was the Jewish people.

    1. @ruth depew wow you are really stupid and radicalized,I wonder who you support and how quickly this same argument can be used against you

    2. @Kevin Preston Tell that to China and their American allies, the demokkkrat communist party..If you think racism is deluded, then you need to see what BLM is teaching in the school system..Sounds to me like you think murder, arson and billions of dollars in damaged property is peaceful protesting

    1. You Americans want to get rid of your police!!?? WOW. The world is laughing at your stupidity. Get a hold of yourselves. From Canada 🇨🇦

    2. Bryan Mayer NOT ALL AMERICANS , there are those of us here who still have some common sense . I agree they need to get ahold of themselves .

    3. IZ2bSA80 the fact that there are a few videos like this is bad. Even if 99% of police are good, that 1% is the problem. Not all police are bad. But the system is flawed and we need to fix that.

    1. Winston Simon III
      Looks like the 21st century
      The 60s and 70s were good for peace and political stability
      We need a good president like it’s been 20 years

    1. They won’t be missed…because they didn’t go anywhere. They only quit the unit, not the department.

      They’re still cops. Probably still on the streets.

    1. @Carlos Stranger There’s a difference between “fake news” and getting facts wrong, albeit a somewhat small difference, but a difference nonetheless.

    2. Dam those slots will fill quick because there’s very little Nazis left,monsters there all rioting already so good there

    3. They didn’t feel so offended as to turn down their paychecks however. They are still in the department. Still have weapons. Still a danger to the citizens.

  3. Anybody remember Kent State May 4th massacre, National guard killed 4 students and wounded 9 others in 13 seconds firing 67 rounds. These were peaceful student demonstrators. Do not trust the so called leaders.

    1. @Crystal Giddens yes,for sure…actually it’s interesting you brought up John McEnroe,he was like the Bob Dylan of tennis,everyone thought he was a total brat but he did stand up for himself,looking back I kind of admire that. and ,you are right the hippies were naive,but they bRought some amazing music,and since I was a kid then and I’m a musician,I learned tons from the musicians from the 60s,,,but the 60s the economy was amazing,so they seem to have it all,yet ironically did tons of complaining in the process…but what they did question things…and the music business was naive also then,but because of that you had huge Innovations from the Beatles,Bob Dylan and so on to Neil Young…strange innocence ,or naive qualities created great art.]and they were allowed to very much experiment in music…I played guitar and bars and places in the 70s,guitar and some places now,before the Coronavirus….all I can say is there was a simplicity to the 60s and 70s,and a freedom…part of the naive quality brought them a certain Freedom at least at the time…in the end it was the drugs and lawlessness that destroyed them.but it started off as almost a utopic idea…I don’t want to sound like an old guy,but I guess I am I’m sure there’s tons of good music now,I’ve heard some,,, there’s always talent and every generation. but there was a movement in the late sixties and early seventies,that was very free,that faded away.and the older generation like my father,the rules seemed a lot firmer for society.the contrast from the strictness of my father’s generation,and the freedom of the hippie generation,brought a strange mix.but in some ways my father’s generation,made things stable for my generation.and that utopic dream faded away,

    2. @ifyoueverfind78 IDK if you have or have not listened to the older music even before the 50’s. It wasn’t as “energetic” but the talent was unmistakable especially the blues music. I hear there is this “effort” to use music the arts the media and even sports to “influence” society as a whole. They did.

    3. @Crystal Giddens well my next favourite Music would be the 1920s To1940s in jazz and blues. You Had the Blues Guys,like Robert Johnson,Muddy Waters,BB King.[and ..[and Woody Guthrie’s sang protest music]a great movement in jazz,,a little later,,someone like Miles Davis,or someone like Paul Desmond,which have more of my favourite style of jazz…but as an era,I’m fascinated by the 1920s.and I think there is a similarity of the 1920s and the 1960s.My grandmother used to talk about the 1920s.when you think about it they just got radio,they just got silent films,factories, profits were happening,they just got cars,people making money,at the same time jazz came out. people are really excited ,and I think the music reflected that…but I also look at some of the rhythm and blues of the 1950s it is just fantastic.so there are other movements in music that were considered innovative,and were exciting for sure…i just don’t usually like musicals,they are sometimes irritating [haha]

  4. when you hold a peton like a baseball its not defense, when protesters are alone in the middle of 5 cops its not a threat

    1. Police departments at these point are just domestic terrorist groups. They need to be treated as such. Suspend all police activities and arrest all officers on the streets.

    1. Insanity has come to America. You want to take away your police??!!! The world is laughing at your stupidity. And also praying. Get a hold of yourselves. From Canada 🇨🇦

    2. “I started all this poor black me shyt”.. Dr. Major Senior Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. The fourth

    3. @bombalu5 WOW that’s the best you got go back to your 🦊 TV so you can at least stick to the talking points.

    4. West Fdsa .. Continue worshipping your false idols… Especially the meth head criminals like George

  5. He wasn’t just walking up to them he was returning a lost helmet it’s in his left hand and it’s what ur hear when he hits the ground just absolutely sickening to watch

    1. @L Las they really are and what made me even more sick was that they immediately suspended the officer that pushed him and 50 of the other officers in that group have turned in their gear to protest their actions to suspend that officer well my opinion is of they want to stand with the obvious police brutality that officer showed then they can go down with him and they shld all be fired immediately not just suspended

  6. Sad… One officer tried to help the man, but the other officer pushed him away… SAD

    1. The whole thing is sad. We should be standing WITH good police officers and not seeing them as the enemy. It’s funny they say don’t condemn an entire race over skin color but uniform color? That’s ok. They’re all alike.

      This whole thing makes me sick. Hypocrites. Stop making it about police.

    2. It’s riot rules. Not sure if you have ever read the code but in riot gear and ordered to push ahead they call emts. It’s for purposes of crowd control. They make a bigger space and emts come in and do their job.

    3. @Google Name The difference is that the police have more authority and power than the rest of us, that is why there needs to be a higher standard and level of accountability for bad behavior. Now it seems as is they are less accountable.

  7. If they’re willing to do that to an old white man, just imagine what would’ve happened to a young black man.

    1. pssht the race thing is bs, the problem is your police can’t be held accountable which is like the dumbest idea ever

  8. I had heard about an elderly gentleman being pushed down, but to actually see this I am literally sick!

  9. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing” — Edmund Burke

    1. I’ll tell ya what. Those good men you speak of are NOT the looters beating up people, cops and businesses. America has gone down the path of insanity.
