As usual, body cam videos are just about useless. All I got from those were machismo cops trying to fix their narratives about what happened.

The body cam of the stop, and a later security cam and a body cam of when they caught him after he ran. Mind you it wasn’t them running and catching him in the heat of the moment. It was some time later.

They beat him to death. They did it with remarkable casualness, walking around and then going back and kicking him where he lay. One held him while others beat him in the head and stomach. He pleaded and cried and they beat him to death. They dragged him to sit him up beside a car. He was collapsed there for a long time and I saw no ambulance or medical attention.

They beat him to death.

but even though it was somewhat distant it was a little easier to see what was going on because the camera wasn't moving. Yes, it was quite disturbing.

... it wasn't as clear as previous videos. I'm sure it was more horrific close-up. I don't know why this continues to happen... police officers should be the best trained in dealing with suspects. Their job is dangerous, yes, but they are not forced into the profession.... you have to have a very thin skin...

11. Humans are inhumane.

This reminds me of the Nazi SS officers' behavior. I definitely believe another Holocaust could/will happen again. We are not humane beings, we are savages. Old, young, male, female, all religions, all cultures, all races are brutal savages. The extinction of humans would benefit the planet as a whole. People are beyond flawed. We are worse than the so-called "beasts".

a baton strike to the head that seemed very unnecessary, probably caused the majority of damage to his brain. I saw him get to his feet a second time still uncuffed when officers seemed to exhausted to keep him on the ground, one holding each arm as another threw haymakers to his head as he was spinning around trying to break free.
