Give me a break!
I have been out partying so many times and been in situations I shouldn't have been around when cops are swarming and I have never, I repeat, never, had a cop touch me, let alone beat my ass.
It comes back to respecting authority. You may not like it, and if they are violating your civil rights, than come back and sue. But in the mean time, don't be a dumb ass and start questioning the cops "officer safety" tactics and his job in the middle of an incident. You don't know what they got called to.
Some old lady calls you in, standing by your car at the gym talking to your juiced up buddy, and she thinks you are about to fight. Your protein bottle has now turned into a gun and that is what she tells 911 on her cell phone.
Well being Mr. Hot-Head "I know my rights" dickhead. Try not putting your hands up when the cops arrive on a man with a gun call. It may not be fair, and it wasn't just, but grow up and realize that shit happens.
For all you cop supporters, keep supporting them and don't worry about trying to convince these cop-haters otherwise. When I was a cop several years ago, that is the crap I heard all the time. I feel sorry for them now knowing what they get paid and what they have to deal with.
Just my two cents worth.
