Very lucky no one was killed

Moderator, can you fix my title? Should say Des Moines Police....

If procedure had been followed when someone takes a cops gun the other cops shoot them. That is exactly what officers are trained and taught to do.

They are damn lucky they did not get shot.

This is happening in Iowa? Iowa?

attacked by rioters and terrorists.

Need to tell the truth.

The police “encouraged” the offenders to come along quietly? This is insane. It’s impossible to be a cop today. If the cops had done what they should have done, they would be accused of police brutality. The commies at the Des Moines Register would lead the charge.

Mostly Peaceful.

Authorities released information regarding a conflict between officials and Black Lives Matter protesters Wednesday afternoon. . .Police said that a protester assaulted a police officer by jumping on the officers back, placed him in a chokehold and wrestling him to the ground. The authorities said the officers was "disarmed of his duty handgun," but was able to get it back. “Police chose to make arrests in the worst way possible,” Drake law professor Sally Frank said. “It appears they have some evidence against some people about the police car at the Hy-Vee parking lot, and rather than trying to talk with people otherwise they grabbed them in the middle of a protest. That gets people heated.” “When detectives tried to take prisoners out of the statehouse, the crowd followed them outside and, at the one point, swarmed them and attacked the officers,” Des Moines police Sgt. Paul Parizek said. “It’s probably one of the most violent attacks I’ve seen on police in a long time. They were tackled to the ground. They were ripped off people they were trying to arrest.” : Des Moines police say protesters assaulted officers, one disarmed an officer

Have the cops been disciplined for roughing up the suspects?

[mythenjoseph]

I see alot of sqeaky Fromes in the crowd...if anyone remembers her...and I’m only 58....State Troopers should have beat the S__t out of all of them

[MtnClimber]

That was a disturbing video. The police were swarmed by the rioters. Every one of the rioters deserves to be arrested.

[dragnet2]

I don’t believe these cops....Gezuz...

[dragnet2]

They could have taken the cops guns multiple times...Easily...

This cult has been totally emboldened.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

A bunch of kids taking on cops...

Seriously...

Unreal that this is allowed.

[Ouchthatonehurt]

Was this BLM related?
All I see is a lot of pasty, pierced punks.

[Cobra64]

Here we go again... simple-minded morons referring to riots as protests.

[EarlyBird]

Gdammit, how much risk do our officers have to be exposed to?

Not only idiots trying to take their guns, but COVID19 too!

These protesters are spreading the virus as sure as sh!t. It’s why there is a spike throughout the country!

“Drake law professor Sally Frank”

Looks exactly like you would envision her. Poster child for vial frumpy hate filled leftist. Taking her revenge 40 years after not being asked to the High School prom.

[Leep]

“Attacked By Protestors”

Committing criminal acts is not protesting.

[A strike]

Starting to be time to shoot.
