This recent attitude of getting physically aggressive against police officers who are showing extreme restraint, given what we know about them, will lead down a terrible rabbit hole. You can’t become what you’re trying to stand up against. This is dangerous

I agree it’s provocation. But physical assault is not the way to deal with provocation. Especially when the only part the world can see is the assault on a law enforcement agent

Certainly. I wonder:
Do they do it because they know that some of us, including popular activists, will rush to defend them, try to justify their conduct, start a hashtag campaign and join in criticizing the Police, as happen regularly on social media?
Or is it anger issues?

Let the arms of the law hug her with full force. The same way we commend awesome officers and advocate punishment for errant officers as well.
