    Arrest, yes. I’m less on board with the violence. I’m all about a proportionate response.

    And that’s in general terms. There’s a reason people think all cops are bastards and it’s not because they dislike the colour blue.

      Again, without being able to see what happened before the video started, it’s hard to judge whether this was a proportionate response or not.

      If your default assumption is ACAB and they’re just doing this to hurt him because they can, then you’re just as biased as you’re accusing me of being. And I’m not saying the cops are by always innocent by default, but I’ve also seen enough people like this guy act like major dickheads before claiming to be a victim of police brutality.

      But once again, if he did nothing wrong, I hope he goes free. And with a nice check to boot, if they did use excessive force. But that’s up to the judge to decide, not me.
