Much respect for you and you're fellow officers Denny for manning the front lines. It looks like an impossible task but you did your job to the best of your ability for your city that you love. Stay safe.

That was the mob that went north, not west. We were glad to hear 16th and Illinois instead of traveling west on 10th Street.

Fishers protest is calm at the moment. Seems to be young people and they’re just walking a circle. I have to say it’s a pretty impressive turnout in my eyes. This is my first protest watch though. Lol

Anybody else down here? I’m on the west side near the new fire station.

Trapped in a new Roundabout?

Is it possible it was a redirected throw from a protester?

Just watched an infuriating video on FB. It was a religious group having a worship service on what looks like the south side of the monument. A small group of 20-30 it looks like. About 20 minutes in, a teargas canister lands at the feet of an older woman in a wheelchair and an old man next to her. bystanders had to help both of them get out of there because they were frozen, unsure what to do.

Somebody said that IMPD appeared to be targeting youts that ran into the group carrying sticks. I couldnt tell honestly. But seriously? We gotta know our backstop, why dont they?

Still respect our officers, but that kinda thing makes me angry. It seemed incredibly sloppy.

That was my thoughts. I have seen people pick them up and toss elsewhere at other unruly places I used to frequent in another life.

115 arrested!

Wow, nice work IMPD!

Are they getting bailed out as fast as they get put in? Why can't they be charged with insurrection?

I need a game used canister or flashbang for my collection

Charges were declined in 41 of those arrests. I can only guess that they were o my arresting the worst offenders, and still 41 sent back out.

Hmm I wonder if Upstanding Mr. Floyd having meth and fentanyl in his system will change anything?

The optics were terrible in Mr. Floyd's abuse and death. No doubt there is widespread support for police reform. And I would put No-Knock Raids, Asset confiscation and SWAT team overuse on the list.

I agree with all of this. The one thing I would add is get rid of the damned unions that protect the bad actors.

If we're talking in terms of manslaughter, it wouldn't matter. Your actions led to a person's death even if underlying health or chemical conditions contributed to it. If a 90-year-old dies after you push them down, you're still guilty, even though a younger and healthier person would have survived.

The only way drugs in his system would absolve the officer is if it can be demonstrated that he otherwise would have dropped dead of an overdose at that exact moment without the officer's actions.

Here's the report:

I’m surprised they haven’t tested him for COVID. I hear it’s going around and disproportionally killing black men.

The officer was wrong, no purple needed.

And refreshingly the article refers to them as rioters!

Watch the video yourself.

The year has hits right around the 20 minute mark. Everything is peaceful until then. Also, the people in the video identify the police as the ones who launched tear gas at them (a crowd of people including children and handicapped people in wheel chairs).

I see nothing that excuses IMPD for this.

Did you actually read it? It specifically says he died of asphyxiation caused by the knee on his neck. He didn’t just die of natural causes.

I honestly don’t know what’s wrong with some of you. I don’t care if he was on meth, he wasn’t resisting and the police flat out murdered him. If you don’t see a problem with that, I suggest you take a deep hard look into your heart and try to figure out why.

I just re-read the ME's note above. The word asphyxiation isn't used. Also, it said fentanyl intoxication and "recent" meth use. That doesn't justify how he was treated, but please get the basic facts straight.
