People don't realize how hard it is to control another human being.
Been following the reddit thread on this and the opinion seems to be that they subdued a man and then continued to beat him up. Watching the video, it doesn't look like the guy is subdued to me. The guy was visibly aggressive from the start. Even after he's on the ground he's swatting at one cop and kicking at the other.
Not too sure what people would like the cops to do differently. Humans are strong creatures, you can't just hold a guy down, you have to convince them to cooperate. This is 3 on 1 and they still can't control him. Unfortunate truth is that sometimes force is necessary. It's brutal, for sure, but not police brutality.
All imo, of course.
