    They were capable of handling the situation without violence.

    Do you really think every citizen who doesn’t comply with instructions should be punched in the face? What about people who panic and freeze up? Hard of hearing, or easily confused?

    You are setting dangerous precedent if you tolerate this kind of abuse from law enforcement. Be better.

      Of course they could. Did I suggest they couldn’t. In case you are unsure about that. No I didn’t. I’m not condoning what they did but we all know the way it goes today and the fact that the guy didn’t include the footage where he was winding up the cops means that he was trying to hide it and suggest they did it for without any interaction before.

        You’re backpedaling. Stand by your words.

        You didn’t read the article? There’s no need to provide that footage, it’s all cited in the source material.

        Been a pleasure. Have a day.
