Philly SWAT officer being charged after following a lawful order

7/24/2020

The Philadelphia SWAT officer pepper sprayed protesters as they blocked traffic on the Vine Street Expressway turned himself in Wednesday to face criminal charges — the second officer to be arrested for alleged misconduct that occurred during the unrest through the city in May and June.
Richard P. Nicoletti, 35, will face charges of simple assault, reckless endangerment, official oppression, and possession of an instrument of crime, District Attorney Larry Krasner said.

The decision was immediately criticized by Nicoletti’s attorney and the police officers’ union.

PEPPER SPRAY???? Are you fucking kidding me?? These cops are dealing with the lowest form of society! They’ve been ambushed, shot at, maimed, MURDERED , families threatened, properties destroyed, humiliated by the asshole mayors that should be defending them and now you want to CHARGE them for using fucking pepper spray??? I’m embarrassed to say these govt officials are leading my state, my city, my police officers! You couldn’t lead a fucking poodle on a leash!!!!

They would not have to use anything if these animals were not destroying everything in their path. If I were on the force, I would use more then pepper spray. I appreciate them and the job that they do. I am not saying that there are some bad cops, but I would never generalize like you are doing.

using pepper spray is inhumane. The officers should issue the command, and if the perp doesn't comply, use the billy club.

Totally agree with you.... should they say thank you to the losers destroying our city? The police are protecting themselves and us. I would be happy if they used more then pepper spray!!!!!!

This is ridiculous The police officers need to be able to do their job. It is time that the people making these ridiculous charges get out in the streets and deal with the rioters.

I would just stop responding. Let the City government take care of it. I'd get my kids and leave. Every law abiding citizen in Philly should just go. Let the city burn.

I hate to say it but I think it's going to get much worse. We need to stick together and support our LEO's.
