First video was horrible. My only problem with the second video is that they didn't beat that guy harder. If I were a cop, I would be like Hannibal Lecter just joyfully beating that guy with a baton while blood spattered across my face with each blow. Spoiler
Curious how you would answer this -- should people in all situations follow the commands of the police when it comes to crowd control, and would you defend police actions in all cases where people have not followed the directions of the authorities?

why are they rioting anyway it's ****ing stupid Bunch of stupid drunk college kids looking to cause trouble, losing the game had nothing to do with it
Natural selection. While I feel these were excessive displays of force in general, in situations like this cops are thinking ain't nobody got time for that, and you have to know this. It ain't right, but you gotta be smarter than that, or these things might happen.
Okay, initially I was pissed at the guy in the 2nd video. But the more I watch it, the more I laugh. So, in a strange way, I'm actually starting to respect the guy. Some people are just so STUPID that you can't help but admire them.
apparently his buddies with their backs turned with full riot gear were in extreme danger from a 115 pound girl in shorts and a t-shirt. the girl that got leveled was such a threat that after blindsiding her the cop just walked away, no restraint, no arrest, nothing. just be on your way. ****ing scum!!!

Yess... ^ this. These whippersnappers don't know we had to walk a mile from riot start to riot beginning... I mean, I'm talking Sage to Hillcroft down Richmond! F* the Spurs! SRSLY speaking, we just got loud and trashed nothing back in '94. :grin:
The girl was like one step in front of the guy, so the cop aims to take her out first? Aren't cops supposed to assess who's the bigger potential threat when they strike?
