Not so much excessive force but literally punching somebody while they are already down. In the face. Unnecessary and uncalled for force was used

Jamera Payne

Although he was resisting arrest. Beating him in face was unnecessary.

Jamera Payne

Although he was resisting arrest. He should not have got beat in his face.

Jamie campbell

They were wrong in using that kind of force.

The man was resisting and not complying. The officers tried other tactics to try to subdue the man.

Just what do you do with a person who is not fazed by a taser, and continues to attack two LEOs? Write them a ticket for disorderly conduct?

Will Mason

They should have just backed off and tazed him. With 2020 hindsight, that is what I would have done.

Kings are unfit to rule the US. We are not, nor do we ever want to be, a Monarchy. Obama was our best recent President, a real President who acted like one, and I would not have him King. No Kings. Never.

Obama and Biden rule trump, always will, I can prove it. trump continually brings up Obama and Biden, as no other President has done, because they live in his head as his superiors, frustrating him. Most Presidents are too busy running the country to be bothered with talk about their predecessors.

Max DeYoung

Biden was the worst in history.

Max DeYoung

Obama was the second worst president in history, thanks to Biden. They both bailed Carter out.

Sara Kalinowski

We deserve to take a stand as long as it's not harmful to others. If MAGA could protest the way they did, then our peaceful protest should be just fine. We the People didn't agree to a king, who can just go out and do what he wants, no matter what.

Max DeYoung

If Trump was the King, he would not tolerate activist judges nor silly protests. Think about what you are claiming.

Kevin Reed

With the current administration willfully ignoring court rulings, and acting lawlessly, these protests are a necessary step in voicing discontent.

Max DeYoung

Trump obeys every simple activist judge, until an appeals court overturns their illegal decision.

If Trump was a King, he would not have allowed the protesters to assemble. But, that's too hard for the Left to understand, and it doesn't fit the narrative. LOL
