Reply #85: I looked at the video... the drunk man was escorted off of the train...

You don't need to be a civilian police to determine that if the cop wanted to yank him to the ground by the cuffs, this drunk man would have gone down. We've all seen this kind of behavior before. Testosterone gets in the way of making sound good sound judgment. You do no harm first. That's the job of the police officer.

Your argument about me being there is the same suspicious rationale that police superintendent's use. The video is clear cut. He is being walked off of the train by the police officer. You don't see him pull back or yank. He may be drunk and yes I've seen many of those. Many don't get their bodies rammed into a glass window. I've seen people who were unruly be arrested in less severe ways. An overwhelming amount of people look at this tape and see excessive. You are trying to get into everyone's head... the policeman... the drunk man... and you don't have to. Watch the man being escorted off of the train. That's the key. If an officer can get him off of the train, he can place him on the ground. I've seen it. The officer got the man off of the train with his hand and the drunk went willingly. You should stop over-analyzing here and let your eyes be your guide.
