In response to "Here's my problem with these videos...they never have the beginning of the altercation." by Jim

fair point.

I didn't watch the video, but was just going by the bystander's description of the incident and the police spokesperson's response. Sure, maybe the kid was being a bit of a punk and not doing what he's told, but the force escalation seems disproportionate to the offense described.

I stopped about 25 seconds in...and it certainly appears to be same ole, same ole white cop beats up on black kid. - Jim Sep 18, 06:06 3
- There's no beating. 8 other cops show up, they take him to the ground and handcuff him. -- nm - Ender Sep 18, 07:16 2
  - Well, the first cop did take a swing at the kid. Either way, my point was more about the video only showing part of the story. -- nm - Jim Sep 18, 07:24
  - 1 cop to arrest him, and 8 to hold his pants up. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 18, 07:19
