Right so if there’s a protest, and then a police officer doing crowd control… And just a couple of meters from him, someone suffocating a person. Making the crowd go “hey fucking stop it!” - “stop that murder!”

You’d want the crowd control cop to just hold back the crowd.

Let’s push it one more level - you’re the guy on the ground being suffocated within meters of the crowd control cop.

What you’re saying is “crowd control is more important than my being murdered”?..

… and you’re pretending I’m an idiot for making a vatican joke? You’re a space case if you’d prefer to have a cop doing crowd control whilst you, or a citizen like you is being suffocated. Get your priorities in order.

Any preventable death should be prevented.
