but those MFers deserved to have their asses kicked!

I only wish there were a crowd of witnesses around every time a cop stepped over the line.

Somewhere, sometime, a crowd in the USA will see a severe case of Police brutality taking place and will descend upon the
law enforcement officers like a pack of hyenas, tearing and punching and cutting until there will be nothing left. Not saying it's right but it will happen.

Sad because the impacts will be worldwide, and who knows what will be at the other end. And all just to support the insatiable greed of the 1%.

All he did was run across the field with a banner and they had him held down. Geez.

...and yes, if this would happen in the U.S., the boys in boys in black would have sprayed gunfire at the oncoming hoard. And no court would think twice about letting them walk.

This is really sad. I respect the police, and I would NEVER want their ugly job. But when I see some of these videos and hear about what "thugs with a badge" think they can get away with, I think it's justified. Not sure the thug jamming his stick in the victim's side got the worst of it; but he sure as hell deserved it, from what I could see.
