And witnesses say he was getting ready to leave when the cops grabbed him. And to tase him 5 times? Give me a break. You know, if I had been there and witnessed that, I probably would have jumped on one of the cops and started pounding on him. Instead of yelling "get up" why not just pick him up and drag him out?

There is no logical explanation for that level of abuse. And i'm going to call out all the people in this thread who think there is. You are bigots, and blinded by your own prejudices. Anyone who watched the video can clearly tell that it is an abuse of power. There is no reasonable explantation for what the cops did to that kid. You might as well admit it, you think he deserves it because he's one of "them". If you're going to be ignorant, at least come out and admit it. (edit: not directed at you Crazy Flamer, just building from your post).
