I am not a fan of the police in general, but in this case I think they did right. Dude was all drugged up, did you see the first part of the video? He was running around skipping and acting crazy. If a 325 pound drugged up man was fighting me I would beat the hell out of him with whatever I could find. Is it so freaking hard to just lay down and get cuffed? Like I said I cannot stand the police in general, but if you fight an officer you should realize what you are going to get in return.
American History X is a great movie. Did a good job of showing how most of the organizations work. Just a bunch of angry dumbasses.
