What kind of subhuman brings their kids to something like that, knowing that LEOs are going to show up and take action? Human shields, maybe?

No, people that live there on the same street. I don't think it was a planned protest, and I don't think people were driving or bussing in. This was just the neighbors coming out in the wake of a police shooting to first see what was going on, and second to stand up to the police in the wake of what they deemed an unnecessary shooting. The kids might have already been out there, or the kids might have just run out with the parents at the same time without realizing things were going to escalate so quickly. The police are supposed to DE-escalate, not make it worse.

Police shot their SEVENTH citizen this year and when confronted by locals who witnessed the shooting things spiraled out of control with the police shooting rubber bullets and setting dogs onto women and children! And yep I was right about the dog!
One harrowing moment was when a police dog somehow got free from an officer's car and went at several people. Dunn said it was unclear if anyone had been bitten or injured.
"The officer was quickly able to get the dog back into the vehicle," Dunn said.

The fact that you value your life above theirs is indicative of your moral standpoints.
Actually, we should all feel this way. I value my life above theirs as well. I value my life above all but about 4 or 5 people in this world.
While I disagree with Domo on this particular point, and the cops were in the wrong, we do have to look at the dynamics of the situation. Gang-bangers in an all-Hispanic little cul-de-sac, known for violence, with one shooting already earlier that morning, with the street blocked, and a crowd forming. If I was a cop in that situation, I would value my own life over all of there's. For a cop, their motivation is sometimes just to make it home at night.
They were wrong in that video, but if any of us were a cop on that beat, knowing that neighborhood, and those people, we might have done the same thing.

How can you make so many blanket statements as fact about these people? Do you know anyone who lives there?
