    Doesn't apply here FAMS.....there was nobody in front of them blocking them. Officially no longer "evading", actually backtracked to hit the person.

    Its a large crowd of violent protestors. Its justifiable to be scared for your life in that moment. Maybe he was in her blind spot!

    ****************************************

    MINNEAPOLIS—Calling for a more measured way to express opposition to police brutality, critics slammed demonstrators Thursday for recklessly looting businesses without forming a private equity firm first. “Look, we all have the right to protest, but that doesn’t mean you can just rush in and destroy any business without gathering a group of clandestine investors to purchase it at a severely reduced price and slowly bleed it to death,” said Facebook commenter Amy Mulrain, echoing the sentiments of detractors nationwide who blasted the demonstrators for not hiring a consultant group to take stock of a struggling company’s assets before plundering. “I understand that people are angry, but they shouldn’t just endanger businesses without even a thought to enriching themselves through leveraged buyouts and across-the-board terminations. It’s disgusting to put workers at risk by looting. You do it by chipping away at their health benefits and eventually laying them off. There’s a right way and wrong way to do this.” At press time, critics recommended that protestors hold law enforcement accountable by simply purchasing the Minneapolis police department from taxpayers.

    Thinking about it hard. People have always said that and it’s just kind of in jest. This place is a nightmare and isn’t going to get better. I wish Vancouver wasn’t so damned expensive

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Permanent residence, I assume. Which, yes, is a ceremony involving a moose.
