11. I seen this on reddit & commented already
But I'll say it again..

Someone has to draw a line somewhere. Filming an incident like this only does so much. When are people going to jump in & physically STOP it?

This is one incident among thousands of similar ones showing police abusing their 'authority' with more & more laws being passed limiting what you americans can do about it. (unlawful to film bad cops, can't protect yourself if they bust in your home with guns blazing, etc.)

Not to mention all the 'internal investigations' that whitewash the whole thing & either exonerates the cops or gives them a slap on the wrist.

I'm not exactly a violent person but I believe in making examples. Maybe a riot or 2 over incidents such as this is what's needed. Give a wakeup call to the 'authorities' to know THIS is the line they don't cross...or there will be consequences.

In my experience it's the only thing bullies understand.
