Saw the video on Twitter earlier, it made my skin crawl. Listening to him gurgle while the cop won't let up..and despite all the (much deserved) chirping at the officers, those watching were quite composed. Pretty clear who the bad guys are in that situation.
In the past I found I tended to sympathize with the police a bit, just because I felt they're kind of in a no-win situation and public sentiment is SO against them.. I've known plenty of good officers with good hearts. But stuff like this - and the countless other incidents before it - completely justifies all the hate. Think that video was finally the tipping point for me. Enough is enough, that's beyond unacceptable.
