Police Brutality Part 1

I'm going to post a "Police Brutality" topic every time I come across a story about our government using excessive force against our fellow citizens. I don't want to give the impression that all law officers are bad people, because some are doing their best to carry out a very stressful, and dangerous job, while not harming innocent citizens. However, for the safety and rights of the U.S. citizens and to ensure that law enforcement get rid of the bad apples, stuff like this must be brought to the attention of everyone. I know it's hard for some law enforcement not to take the side of their fellow officers when stuff like this comes up, but bad cops make good cops' job much more harder and more dangerous. If a guy sees his local cops beating up on some innocent guy on TV and nothing is done to get rid of these cops, then the next time he gets pulled over, he might decide to try to run away, or fight back, instead of being peaceful. It doesn't matter if you're wearing a badge, if you use unnecessary violence against someone else, you're a criminal.

The video below speaks for itself. There will probably be more videos of this surfacing in a couple of days since the guy said there were cameras there when the event took place. At least, I hope we get to see those videos.



(UPDATE): The video of the actual incident can be seen here.
