The cops were pumped and pissed after the chase. Can't blame them for that. But when the guy was lying on the ground and offering no resistance there was no need to use physical force. Cuff him and stuff him and the job is done. They should have stayed under control. That's what professionals do.

As a general rule, when a cop is punching a man repeatedly who has already been pinned to the ground, that's excessive force. I'd actually apply that to everyone; not just cops.

Maybe their training or lack of training makes them no better than a group of thugs. This definitely needs to be properly investigated by unbiased authority.

I'm holding final opinion... I elected to not listen to any audio and only watch the incident visually... I couldn't see it that well...but at first blush it didn't appear to be some overwhelming unnecessary use of force... People are saying he was already handcuffed.. I didn't see that ..it may have occurred but I can't tell... Peopke also say he was surrendering... I didn't see that either...
Use of force is brutal by its very nature... Life doesn't go well for crooks who don't surrender in the classical sense. I didn't see any of that

I have seen another video on TV that shows a little more before the cops appeared in the clip. It clearly shows the subject exit the vehicle and immediately drop to the ground allowing himself to be cuffed and taken into custody. And at no time was he resisting or struggling with the cops.
Of course he used excessive force. And the fact that you have statist defending this just shows me what sad situation we're in.
