Wile I don't think they deserved to loose their lives over it, calling them "innocent" is quite dishonest. They were at the very least intentionally being a nuisance and in most cases breaking actual laws in the process.

    Pretti was breaking zero laws. You’d have to do some prosecutorial voodoo to conjure up a misdemeanor.

    There is lawbreaking in that videos. But the felony-level stuff is all from folks in uniform. (Which, thankfully, they’ve started wearing.)

    You're not actually arguing that American citizens shouldn't be able to film the cops are you? That would be pretty un-American.

    Being a nuisance is not illegal. In the eyes of the law, someone being a nuisance is, indeed, innocent - and to say so is not dishonest.

    So now being a nuisance is justification for summary extrajudicial executions?! If people on HN believe this then we’re toast.

      That is not at all the argument being made.
