Well yeah they were winning, usually you have to arrest the people who are winning first because it would be awkward to try to arrest someone while they’re getting their ass beat.

First I laughed at this comment. Then I cried a little on the inside. Ugh.

In the video I watched they arrested the guy who hit people, including a woman who wasn’t in the brawl at the time, with a folding chair.

I like how you specifically point out the one blow a black person in the fight made that was fucked up and completely ignore the fact that the white pieces of shit started the violence. Very telling.

Dude wtf. His comment was in response to the police arresting black people and he was saying why that might make sense.

As has been said, you control active threats first for your own safety. Calm down.

The white boaters clearly started everything but the only arrest I’ve seen as well was the guy who went all WWE with a folding chair on a woman who was already on the ground, right in front of the cops

It seems like in this case they arrested most of the people involved on both sides, that first black guy that they put in cuffs they only did right after he clocked that lady in the jaw like 3ft in front of a police officer.
