Video said cops were responding to a call reporting a man "fitting Wilson's description" (I guess that means "African American&quot who was running away or chasing something & appeared to be afraid.

So that's how they treated someone calmly walking, calmly complying. Not only the sudden violent takedown, but the all-too-familiar subsequent lies justifying their actions. Wilson "pulled away violently"... they were "afraid."

They had no reason to handcuff him at all!

I would really hesitate to ever call the cops... my call may end up in some innocent person (or his/her dog) being killed, tazed, beaten, etc. Maybe even myself!

Who are the liars here? Who are the thugs here? Cops are no better, and many times much worse, than those they are supposed to be arresting.
