But it sure is ok for the cops to mob people all they want to, and keep beating the crap out of someone when there are already five of them holding him down?
Umm, no. Good crowd, good deed, and it's time for the cops to learn a lesson. And I agree with Vitch. This SHOULD happen everywhere there is needless cop brutality, except in this country (I assume that video was another country) it is a lot tougher to do when the cops all have guns to back that uncontested brutality up. And they'll kill you with them in a situation like that video, no questions asked. The cops would have pulled guns, killed a bunch of people, and gotten out of there untouched. And then they would come back with all the cops there are, killed a few more, and arrested the rest. And if things got REAL out of hand, then hey, the cops got tanks, sound weapons, and all kinds of nasty things still to go. C130's and Apaches if need be from the National Guard.
Again, the Oathkeepers are not enough.

Even though I agree with people stepping in to prevent police abuse, this was over the top.
Nothing wrong with restraining the cops until they decide to step down, but they do not deserve the kicking I saw in that video.
The crowd in this case behaved worse then the police, sorry to say.
Posted by badminton&klum on 07/19/2004 at 10:33: Security people got mad again ... Bloody Friendlies GENEVA - Violent rioting between security and fans left the game between Benfica and Etoile Carouge end unfriendly. It was just a football game between unequal opponents. The top European club Benfica against first division side Etoile Carouge Geneva. But suddenly, shortly before the end, a Portuguese fan ran on the pitch, the sport is not in the focus anymore. Several security guards chase the fan across the lawn. When they get hold of him, they push the man to the ground. Then one of the Protectas men is beating up his baton on the fan. That's enough: The raging football mob storms to the field and gives chase to the security people. Some of the Protectas men can save themselves in the catacombs. But one is beaten by the spectators heavily with fists and kicks. He and two of his colleagues have to go to hospital. Finally, the Geneva police can put an end to the mass brawl. The friendly game ended with a 2-0 victory for Benfica Lisbon.
