True, I wasn't there, but neither were the members of the jury in any criminal trial that goes on in this country. We don't ignore their opinion with the old "you weren't there" defense.
As for the "it doesn't matter what you saw" thing, that sounds like a pretty raw deal.
And I'm a regular, sighted Canadian citizen, so while it's well established that I'm no expert on the matter, I don't agree with the sentiment that I have "no clue" when police can use a certain level of force.
When a guy ends up dead on the floor of the airport because he had a temper tantrum I don't think I'm out of line if I question the level of force that was used.
