- Video footage obtained by the Des Moines Register shows multiple instances in which officers with the Metro STAR tactical team and Des Moines Police Department used force without apparent provocation during the May 2020 protests that followed the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
The video comes from a surveillance camera overlooking the intersection of Court Avenue and Third Street in downtown Des Moines in the early morning hours of May 31, 2020. Over the preceding hours, police had clashed repeatedly with protestors and rioters in a series of confrontations starting outside the Iowa Capitol and moving west toward downtown Des Moines.

They responded to protesters against police violence with violence
Yeah that guy standing there was so violent surrounded by cops and pepper sprayed in the face. You just like all cops are a bunch of cowards
It's all they know. Talking takes intelligence and protecting takes empathy; they have neither.
These cops don't care because they know there will be no consequences for these assaults and battery they committed... they know they will get away with it and they will get away with it or at worst, got a slap on their wrists.
I know it's awesome but in reality there should have been troops on the ground, and camps full of protestors behind stockades arrested..
These thugs need to be punished to the full extent of the law with immunity removed completely. An officer is not above the law and should be held to a higher standard then normal citizens.
THIS is why people despise police!
