Im all against police brutality, but I didnt see much in there. Cops shouldnt be pushing or attacking cameras and they shouldnt beat a dude when hes clearly down and out. The jackass who pushed the cop and the other one who did the lunge clearly were in the wrong. the guy who got hit in the head prolly did so for several reasons:
A) the cop already had his baton up to deflect a lunge.
B) the protester had a big puffy jacket on, a blow to the side doesnt look too effective.
C) the crowd was being dispursed and protestors were fighting with police. people have the clear freedom to assemble and protest, but all it takes is a few assholes to fuck it all up when they start throwing trash and punches. Ive been in protests before, once the police tell you to leave, its prolly a good idea to do so.
