It's a prudent point.
I am not OK with a lot of things the Police in the UK do. Usually, our courts do their job, which mean the country is not authoritarian (albeit our government are moving towarsd that direction) but the Police do stupid shit. Arresting that bellend may, or may not have been one of those stupid things.
You misunderstand, my confused old friend. The democrats are no more leftists than the Parliamentary Labour Party in the UK. They are neo-liberals and at best could be described as centrist with a view to tinker round the edges of the status quo. Leftists want change, Real change to the broken form of capitalism that currently exists in both our countries.
I have yet to see anything by anyone to suggest that the bloke's arrest was anything but ridiculous. Even Hants Police's Commissioner has said it was stupid. I dont often agree with Tories, but I will agree with her there.
That said, if we are comparing the amount of times Police officers are caught on video trying to arrest someone they shouldnt be, I think the Merkins have us beat. I mean you routinely kill people with your police...brown people, obvs, so a video of British police being fuckwits is all well and good, but you might want to get your own house in order first.
