It’s 1000% being used as an excuse to push the anti police budget/ anti armed police agenda. You have to keep in mind that this is Cambridge, a city with some EXTREMELY far left thinkers in city government, in a city that NEVER has an opportunity to go after the police like this. They took their chance. Zondervan is a means to an end thinker who doesn’t care how he gets to his policies, he just wants to do it. It’s interesting that in the past ten years or so Councillor Simmons is repeatedly having to reign in a lot of the fervor that comes out of this council during discourse

Azeem did ask some pertinent questions I thought, like why couldn’t more non lethal rounds get deployed. The police responded that they require time to do so. They also got into why aiming at legs/arms/extremities is not an overall safe thing to do for anyone involved or around the scene.
