Police would be better off searching the perp for other items or objects rather than assaulting the fellow if indeed that was the case.
It's standard to run from Police in this day of age given there overt totalitarian manner and response.
If you stand there, it don't even matter if you have committed a crime, because they will find one if so inclined to do so.

Really ?
He can be restrained and searched without kicking the crap out of him, Police are trained to do just that.
I would ask to be on my way

Asking and leaving on your own are two different things. The latter gives off a vibe of disrespect, which in turn...gets the cop going. One thing leads to another.

Even if there was any type of resistance which I am sure there was and rightfully so (I know if I was confronted by a dozen cops and not told what I did wrong I would not just roll over for them) there is no excuse for what I saw in the video. The police are trained to de-escalate situations and handle confrontation. The officer at the start of the video did nothing to help the case by not stating what the person was accused of doing and placing him in handcuffs to detain him if he had cause and continue that way.
I am sure there is more to the story as to why this individual was confronted in the first place but over all what I saw was bad police work and gives a bad name to the men and women that do it right everyday and avoid situations like this. Not a good optic when you have a dozen men taking on one person.
You DO NOT resist arrest....
Did you watch the video 3 times on a 47" 4k LED screen , putting it in to slow motion ?
Or , did you see what you had already determined to be there ?
Am i kidding you , or are you kidding you ?
One rule for some another for the rest is the colour of the day.
If the answer were 'no' to each of those questions I'd ask again with my cell phone recording him as it's a civil rights violation.

No excessive force whatsoever? LoL
Just doing their job once again i suppose.
Just cops mangling another perp is my take on the matter, and rather a few at that.
