A Security Guard punched a drunk at a soccer game in Portugal in 2005
I guess the actual video is not really important. This thread seems to be about whether or not people have the right to fight security, let alone policemen if they feel mistreated by them.
Before we judge this "police brutality", maybe everyone should see what the "runner" was doing while hidden from view by the policemen. And secondly, IF this police brutality, what makes the mobs actions any more palatable than that of the police? The runner got away, but the cop lay on the ground apparently unconscious from the beating,...and if one watches closely, he wasn't the one doing the hitting.
What can one expect from a third world country? Nothing more than a third world mentality, revolving around a third world game known for crowd violence.
I can tell you have never been to a Dodgers game, Raiders, Eagles game, Penn State game, Orange Bowl game, the list goes on...
I'm not sure if this is relevant to anything. Its soccer. A third world sport( and I don't care how many countries participate in it) given to violence on the field and off.
Raiders, Eagles? Try going to one of these venues in an opposing team jersey and report back.

Portugal is not a third-world country What's the logic? If they don't speak English, they must be third world?
I did some research, the friendly was between Etoile Carouge and Benfica Lisbon. It took place in Geneva, Switzerland in 2004. The security forces were from the Protectas company, which belongs to the Securitas group.

Warms my heart. Those cops were nothing but thugs (most are) beating up on a defensless individual.
Can you imagine how bad they would have beaten him if a crowd weren't watching? They might have killed him.
So many soccer riots resulting in so many deaths and injuries and you are going to side with the unruly fans?! Real smart there Frank. BTW you can clearly see that at least one of the cops was attempting to prevent the other cop from striking the a-hole.

You didn't see the guy sprinting across the field? Or the hundreds of fans swarming the field?
