I'm willing to bet it all that at some point, before the little clip of video that shows the "action", the "victim" was given ample opportunity to let the situation end peacefully..
And that is the problem in a nutshell.
Every year there are multiple cases where police are convicted of excessive force and flat out police brutality. Many of them even get posted here. Yet every time the issue comes up certain people refuse to believe that a police officer would do anything in appropriate. And even when they use excessive force and then lie to cover it up some people here still try to blame the victim.
And even though it has been proven (and even admitted) that police have been known to treat white people differently when they use "racial profiling" many white people here refuse to ever consider that a police officer would ever do anything racist.
