    Renea Gamble was found by a municipal judge to be not guilty of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, disturbing the peace, and providing a false name to law enforcement. (The allegedly false name was “Aunt Tifa,” which is hilarious).

    She has filed a civil claim seeking monetary damages of $2 million and attorneys fees.

      Still. A civilized society doesn’t give every single person in a uniform the licence to tackle, kill and assault without facing consequences. Sure, the money’s nice, but not getting tackled would’ve surely also been nice. And more civilized.

      Aunt Tifa is lucky to be alive. She also hit a jackpot with the damages. She’s also white, which should explain that.

      But the problem is that not everyone has her luck or complexion.

        Every police in a civilized country has a professional training for several years, including psychology, laws. In the US the police only a training of some month, mainly self defence, no schoolgrade needed to access. ICE agents not even this.
