That being said, while I agree that it appears to be an intentional attack, I prefer to wait for an investigation before making up my mind on his motive. If it was intentional, then yes, he was wrong & should spend the rest of his life in jail.

Was he so threatened within the safety of his vehicle that he was obliged to run over, reverse, and run over again 20 counter-protesters, one of whom was killed, and none of whom appeared to be carrying weapons in any of the footage of that terrorist attack? Regardless of whether anyone tracks with your claim that organizations like the KKK, which have long histories of unprovoked violence, behaved peaceably until leftist groups forced them to defend themselves, failing to identify the greatest violence of the rally and its perpetrator is no small oversight.

I survived some of my past traumas off their music and of course others. So, bam, right in the feels.

They're isolating and that can be a first sign of the downward spiral. <br />I can't fathom this choice he made especially after Cornell.

Considering he was the police chief, I'm sure he felt obligated to help out in resolving the dispute. Looking back, I'm sure he wishes he didn't. But that doesn't mean he did anything wrong. He just wouldn't have gotten stuck in the middle. <br /><br />And you are absolutely right - I am biased toward Crews. I never claimed to be unbiased. But, I did my research, watched all the videos, read the police reports & affidavits, & spoke to some people who know the parties involved. Being biased doesn't mean I'm wrong. It just means that I have a different opinion than you. And unlike the majority of the people who disagree with me, my opinion is based on facts.

But he didn't say or do anything that would justify him losing his job. Ponder is the one who escalated the situation. No one but Ponder & her supporters said that the arrest was a "farce". It wasn't. It was 100% justified because of her response & refusal to cooperate. <br /><br />Her rights were not infringed upon. At all. Not even a little. <br /><br />You say that I should focus on the councilman (Mr. Beene), since he was "actively breaking the law". Ok, so what was he doing that was illegal? And don't say he was letting his underage daughter drive, because it's already been proven by multiple accounts that she was 15 (not 14) & had a valid learner's permit. <br /><br />At the very most, the only thing Beene "might" have done wrong, is use a racial slur & then escalate the situation by following her car into the lot & confronting her. That is only if Ponder's story was accurate, which I have trouble believing. But if she told the truth about those two parts of the story, then Beene was wrong. BUT, neither of those acts are illegal. <br /><br />The only person here who broke the law, is Ms. Ponder.

But that aside, I did my research, read/watched all accounts of the story, read the police report, & spoke to people who were close to the situation. Based on all of that information, I formed an educated opinion; something that you clearly don't have. If you hate cops so much, that's fine. But don't call them when you're in danger. And if you do call them, yes, you have to remain calm & follow their orders when they show up. If you disrespect them & act like a fool, you just might get arrested.

Two parties had an altercation & both called the police. The police showed up to try & resolve the dispute.
