Hippies suck.
There is another "cops did nothing wrong, bad people died, people freak out" story going on in Tampa/StPete right now. 3 teenaged girls stole a car, ran from the cops, drove into a swamp and drowned. Between the 3 of them, they had been arrested 7 times in the last year for stealing cars. Whatever you do, don't watch the video of their mothers talking to the local news.
The media selectively edited a video to push the outrage. The cops who witnessed the car drive into the swamp, entered the water to attempt to rescue the criminals. Meanwhile, on the other side of the swamp, additional police cars arrived, and exited their cars to watch the various cops already attempting the rescue as well as to wait in case they were needed. The media obtained dashcam footage of this second group of cops watching the rescue, and claimed that this was actually the first group of cops, and that no one attempted to rescue the drowning criminals. Big time lie and a great disservice to the cops who did attempt the rescue.
