This video is starting the social media rounds: youtube/watch?v=LlGEFCkSIkA I do not know anything about what this guy was doing but obviously he is being arrested. Was Tasered and is still refusing to roll over and comply with being cuffed. One officer applies some baton strikes to the subjects lower legs. One officer tries to roll the guy over and he starts kicking...eventually they roll him and cuff him and its over. People are yelling police brutality all over the place...I really dont see it. Sure they could have piggy piled on the guy and still wound up having to stick him...there didnt appear to be any gratuitous use of force. The guy using the baton looks bad to the uninitiated I guess, but the lower legs are a valid target for that tool and the guy was using his legs to kick at officers. I saw no kicks, head strikes, multiple officers piling on with punches/kicks/sticks/etc. Sure they could have piled on the guy and wrestled him but they also could use the tools they have and attempt to gain compliance. Someone keeps saying they keep on Tasing him! But I cant really tell if they did or how many times, the guy doesnt stiffen up or exhibit many of the physical indications of taking a ride that I can see. I think this is yet another example of people just not knowing what they are looking at or having some sort of expectation of what nice use of force is supposed to look like. Thoughts?
