Comment on LA rioters tried to set fire to horses

  They hit him because he’s behind the line.

  I don’t understand what line you’re referring to.

  By law they can use force to compel him to move.

  But he got up and started to move and then yet another police officer forcefully pulled him back on to the ground. What you’re saying doesn’t make sense.

  In layman’s terms, they can hit you until you leave the area.

  Having the right to hit someone isn’t a reason to hit someone. The police officer who hit the citizen with a long stick had no apparent reason to hit him.

    They had given a dispersal order. The police line means he should be moving forward and away from the police. Umm… have the right is a reason to hit someone.
    THey hit him because he wouldn’t leave. People don’t understand, once you are told to leave, leave or you will be hit. Now they should have given him a chance to walk away again but that isn’t a requirement. They can keep hitting him till he leaves. The police are not your parents. If they have the to use force, they can and will.

      Why is having a right to hit someone a reason to hit them?

      Now they should have given him a chance to walk away again but that isn’t a requirement. They can keep hitting him till he leaves.

      So you’re saying the police have the right to hit whoever they like for as long as they like, all they have to do is prevent them from leaving the area? That’s crazy.

      If they have the to use force, they can and will.

      The point is that they didn’t need to use force in this instance.

        That isn’t what I said at all. They didn’t prevent him from leaving. He didn’t leave.
