Cops aren’t pulling their service weapons and blasting at crowds. Riot control is ugly, violent and in your face. “Excessive force” is a broad brush and I certainly would call G. Floyd’s death excessive force. LEOs being overwhelmed by maniacs trying to injure them and defending themselves and their fellow officers is hardly “excessive force”. What would you do if someone or a group of maniacs were trying to punch, kick or otherwise injure you, curl up in a fetal position and submit? Thought so, perhaps you would but there are others who will do whatever to stomp their guts out. No glory in being a victim is there?
