You can't reason with people consumed by hate. You can just pity them. Intelligent people form intelligent opinions based on all of the facts. Some people want to believe so desperately that they are right that they will twist the facts and blow things way out of proportion to achieve that goal. Pathetic really.

Agreed.....i'd also appreciate input from the person that initially called the police (what made you call, how long was it going on, were people being assaulted with the crutches, body fluids, etc,) as well as from the passers-by that were in the general area at the time the disturbance was occurring.

I also want to see this video from start to finish. Where is the beginning of the video?
Who called the police? Is the man on drugs or drunk? Is he a convicted felon?

Such pity for the man...You can kill somebody with a false leg or a crutch. Also , a disabled person can kill you as well.

In the video shown , which only shows after the man was cuffed, he is clearly disorderly yelling at the officers, and trying to sweep them with his false leg.

This video shows little, we all need to know why this man had involvement with the police anyway. I did not see anything the police did that was wrong. Again, the video only shows half the interaction. Any criminal can look innocent after that are already in cuffs.

People are all quick to jump and scream about the police, and how they are brutal, but, just like any job there are bad apples in every job. Police are mostly good people.

Try being a cop in SF. You would be on edge too.
FWIW, Market Streets homeless are quite aggressive.
