If he shot him dead it would be a bigger deal.

They were acting fidgety.

You didn't see the whole tape. They may have provoked the officer, but the media never shows THAT!

The one guy was about to punch the cop.

They didn't follow the cop's orders fast enough.

They were resisting arrest.

The cop's life was in danger.

We've gotta give the cop the benefit of the doubt because they protect us.

Those guys are thugs with long rap sheets.

This concludes my post where I pretend to be a conservative giving commentary on police brutality. Thank you for being a wonderful audience.

LOL, he slammed that dude.

Sometimes it's best to just walk away.

Since I have no idea what brought this to such a point, I'll just enjoy the laugh for now.

I have no issue with it at all.

You resist arrest you likely get slammed.

Chris Rock did a pretty good bit on it long ago.


"You're on video"

Slam.

That we have armed gangs, er state agents, roaming about abusing people for kicks is not surprising at all. Who else would take a position as an agent of State force but a sadist anyway? It is clear that these people posed no threat to this "officer" and that the agent was the one provoking violence and the aggressor. While some believe that they are "subjects" of the State, I for one, do not believe humans are the property of the State to do with as it pleases...

Not sure if it would be a bigger deal as the idiot didn't seem to suffer any significant damage.

If he'd complied with the cop he wouldn't have been slammed. Don't resist arrest, it always gets ugly. Looked like the only cop there, which is tough.

Based on evidence I think the cop was reasonable enough.

The guy was resisting arrest, should cops encourage that behavior? The cop didn't single him out for fun to be slammed.

The guys deserved it all they had to do was walk away. The one guy was resisting and because of his stupid actions he was slammed to the ground.
