If one of those cops was allergic, she could have killed them.

I have more sympathy for the bee that dies because to sting is fatal. The loss of a pollinator is a loss for the world, the loss of a cop is… meh, some other asshole will sign up for the badge.

Landlords deserve the woodchipper.

Pigs won't hesitate to use violence on you when you are in the right so why shouldn't you return the favor? If you keep letting bullies beat up kids with no repercussions do you think they have motivation to stop?

Obviously nobody died. Obviously the entire chain of events on the legal side from the landlord to the lawyers to the judges to the law enforcement doing the dirty work all stinks.

I don't think there's any point to sending this woman to jail, she obviously did what she could to disrupt the banality of evil going on. If the cop had died she would have seen bigger charges but imo this kind of pushback is necessary so that law enforcement IS afraid to do evil things.

The state serves money, and all of the people with money are happy with how evictions work.

Until you get rid of evictions, of the bad options law enforcement is one of the less bad options. We shouldn't let evictions happen the worst way possible just because we are holding out for the perfect scenario where evictions don't exist.

Why does the law in that state allow for an eviction before the judge hears the case?
And why is there not a safety net that would ensure the best interests of both the rentor and the rentee? It would cost a lot less for sure. And everyone involved would be happier.

That said, these vops showed far better restraint than we usually see. Many would have just shot her immediately. Small step forward, but still a step foreward.

That would definitely be more effective than charity.

If one of those cops was allergic, she could have killed them. They did claim one was and she responded "good". Just like we say that cops are wrong for escalating and causing the death of people for minor offenses, the same is wrong here. And this was premeditated. The crime the cops were potentially(I don't know the back story) committing does not fit the punishment. Plus she could have gotten herself killed. The fact that they didn't shoot her implies these may even have been some of the few cops that show some restraint. If it had been ICE they would have opened fire immediately. So at the very least, potential getting killed would make what she did wrong.

The real crime lies with the judge who signed off on the eviction. The cops likely had no idea of the background of the person they were evicting when they showed up.

There are surely better ways to attempt to obstruct an eviction.
