Quite different to knowing you have broken the law.
Yea, they felt right stealing about $1000 in clothes because "they did not have the money", yea, true story I was part of, happened at a Macy's.
They felt right to rip apart a person's fence, causing thousands in damage, because "they did not like it because it blocked their view". Yea, another story I was part of.
They felt it was right to start ramming someone's car in a parking lot because "they stole my parking space", yea, another story I got to be a witness to.

I would expect feeling right to be pretty much universal - i doubt there would be many that didn't feel as though they were in the wrong for those actions
At this point, it's a mental illness. You would think after countless negative interactions with the police, you would learn to follow proper protocol and stop resisting arrest so you can stay alive.
They did warn him that they would mace him should he resist arrest. Also, the before/after of what was not shown in the video aside, these cops were not especially aggressive with the kid. Heck, they showed restraint (in my eyes).
In the spirit of posting non-coronavirus related stuff, I decided to post the above.
Acknowledging that the entire story has to be investigated, but from the video alone, I have to be on the side of the police here, at least from the use of force angle. From the looks of the video, they tried to gently handcuff the student, but the student clearly resisted. Appropriate force was, thus, necessary to make the student comply.
We can quibble about whether the student should have been arrested to begin with, but given the officers' initial gentle attempt to arrest the student, something tells me that they gave the student multiple opportunities to deescalate the situation, but that the student wouldn't listen. These cops don't seem like the hot head type. But, again, we'll see what a full investigation uncovers.
since our schools have been shut down for 10 days, how old is this, and why would one need to find it in the DAily Mail and not some local news source?

Its from March 18. Schools may have been closed for class that long ago, but students were moving out after that.
Its like my cousin's school. I moved him out of the dorm on Sunday (the last day to do so), though the school was officially closed for two weeks.
I wonder why the filmer keeps saying "take your hands off his neck"....when they're not holding him by the neck.
and sadly thankfully, the main officer is black.
I suspect this is the reason why the story isn't bigger news than it is. Why the Sharpton types haven't descended on North Carolina, even with the coronovarius going around.
