I am not defending the actions of the cops in this, but have you fought someone non stop for ten mins? It will exhaust you very quickly. UFC fights are 3 five min rounds with a one min break in-between, I have seen people gas out in the first round.
Four cops were not physicallyfighting him for ten minutes. Did you see any guns drawn? He was not being violent. Being difficult does not equal violence.
Dude, it's cops versus one single man. It wasn't a street fight, it was the guy being resistant to getting into a car for ten minutes. I work in direct care for the mentally retarded and have to routinely do takedowns on our more violent men. Sometimes, I've held someone down for twenty minutes (our policy to only hold for no longer than twenty minutes), let them back up only for them to act violent towards me again, back to the ground. Longest time I've gone thru these twenty minute cycles for is a straight two and a half hours.
No excuse for these cops. Also, the cop in question has a looooonnngggg rap sheet of excessive force and police brutality. Fuck that guy.
