Were they wrong yeah..but ... what ppl never talk about is IF this young man had done what he was suppose to do in the first place he would still be here. I've been pulled over several times over my life time even been involved in domestic situations with neighbors where the cop flipped out on me n threatened to arrest me. Guess what I wasn't because I didn't argue n act like an idiot. I was always respectful n did what I was asked to do
The city and those cops are fucked.
It's true, you live in a ghetto, and somebody pulls you over. Then 5 non-uniformed guys come at you.
I'd be scared too. Maybe he was guilty of something, maybe not. But cops aren't supposed to go Judge Dredd on their ass either. 5 cops against one guy. They had him handcuffed, they continued to beat him. Literally no excuses.
If 5 cops can't subdue 1 unarmed, man. Then what were their intentions to begin with? Maybe the roots run deeper than we think?
Still, those cops deserve to be lambs to the slaughter.
