"As a lawyer, I can tell you everything I have seen on these videos is 100% illegal."
As a thoughtful, educated, up in years, intelligent citizen, i call BS! Perhaps... just maybe... some of the whaling on our fellow citizens might be (marginally) inside of "legal" bounds, but i'm suspecting not much of it. I also have to suspect that you are viewing with an agenda, not objectively. Necessary arrests of citizens do not give the "police" license to use any more than the minimum force necessary to take a citizen into custody. And there's way too many videos of 'police' who are out of control. They are in no way displaying "protect and defend" behavior. Not only that, they're also instigating violence. It's being videoed daily. #shakes head in disgust.
PS: "lawyers" are not who gets to decide what's "legal" and what isn't. Hint: It's the citizens of a society who do. (And a huge number of us are pissed at what you seem to think is acceptable.)

AFAICT, she's saying none of it is legal The problem, she she's hoping will someday be changed, is that police get away with it despite its illegality, hence her hoping that someday the fact that it's illegal will actually natter.

Did you read the same text I did?
Re: To "lawyer" Emily Galvin-Almanza
I didn't read it as "illegal."
Thanks to "eftychia" for calling this to my attention so i can correct it.
