Yes they are, but they named the movement "covid restrictions" rather than "defund the hotels" or "defund the restaurants".

You left out teachers and hospitals.
Covid19 made a lot of people sick and got a lot of people to retire. The police were not an exception. Claiming some magical defunding that barely happened in a few places won't change that.

A lot of people did drop out of the workforce, that is true. There is currently a worker shortage in most of the country in a lot of different industries. We cannot find warehouse workers right now, so we pay a lot more than we used to just to attract folks. As soon as their hours drop off at all, like this week one of my main customers had a lull in one of my buildings, and we had a few temps sent home early 2 days, so half of them just said, **** it, I'm out, and they will likely be placed before the day is through at another place probably making more than we pay. Nature of the beast right now.
So there wasn't a defund warehouses campaign behind it?

Wow. That was pretty brutal and didn't seem to be necessary.
Is there any context available?
I mean from this video it looks like those three officers need to be out of a job and in a jail cell.

Get some!!!!
But seriously show me the 5 minutes before that. Yeah they're giving him a hiding, he's not going to die from it, what's he done first? If he's committed a violent offence against a person, he deserves it. Im actually ****ing sick of it, violent offenders battering innocent people then when the shoe is on the other foot they claim to be as innocent as ****ing bambi. You buy the ticket, you take the ****ing ride. Aggravated burglary and robbery is on the rise and there is no reason for it, if you're going to be a thief have from professional pride and do it without causing trauma to people.
I arrested a bloke a few weeks ago for an attempted theft. I told him to stop, sit down and that he was under arrest, the bloke had a break in kit containing a number of tools he could have tried to use as a weapon but didn't. We waited patiently for the police, he was arrested, I made a statement, it was all over in 40 minutes, he likely would have been released in a couple of hours and could go steal something from somewhere else. I had some respect for the man, the emergency operator asked me if i had pressed him for any further information, i said I have no reason to, he is perfectly polite and i have no reason to press the man. I on the other had have no respect for offenders that use violence, they should always receive their trade in kind.

That being said, hearing the lawyer for the family say that her was treated "like a human pinata" just about broke me. Like a baton across the face.

It’s almost as if, now maybe I’m out in left field here, but it’s almost as if militarizing the police, training them on how to dominate their communities, and then asking them to handle everything from traffic citations, burglary, substance abuse, domestic disturbances, and school shootings, is a bad idea. I mean, what could possibly go wrong with this? Telling cops that they’re soldiers who need to dominate their communities while giving them millions of equipment used in war zones.

If Tyre Nichols hadnt been killed, would anyone here know his name? Wouldn’t he just be joining the hundreds of thousands of nameless humans who’d now be stuck with huge medical and legal expenses and now a crime record that’d affect their quality of life forever? How many other Tyre Nichols are stuck in our system, either in a prison or with a criminal record, who are alive but otherwise unknown to us all because some cop thought the person was guilty of some infraction? It’s pretty scary when you think about it. Our legal and judicial system is just such a mess.
I didn’t want to see the entire clip. But I did watch the beginning. Seems like the police really became frustrated when they pepper sprayed him and some of the spray got in their own eyes. Is this really the best methods we have to control a situation? He seemed calm and relatively compliant. Why are the cops screaming F bombs at him while he’s calming talking to them? That’d get me fired in my job. Is screaming F bombs at citizens really helpful? We wonder why he ran away?

I'm glad that the police officers involved are being held accountable. I think that we have gotten to a better place where things like this result in police facing a trial in which they are very likely to be convicted if they acted inappropriately.
