Real footage of security cops hard at work:
I see one seeming to be getting medical equipment while one secures the scene. seems very professional.
Did you want to find another screenshot?
I'm not being pro cop here, I'm being anti assuming cops will be helpful buddies when you do things near an embassy. in an era of mass shooters and all sorts of public violence it's no surprise that agents of the state be state agents
Someone had to yell "fire extinguisher not guns!" for them to even consider doing anything other than raise guns at a burning man.
That is the point I make. Never trust cops. They will rarely ever be helpful.
And as I've argued/miscommunicated with folks a few times here: they aren't expected to be so. They aren't there to help. They are there to secure the embassy
