I won't scream and yell about how bad cops are in general. But, fairly speaking, I agree that police used overwhelming force here. They were fucktards, no less than that.
I don't think the peanut gallery are at all smart but that's beside the point. Why 5 on one? Well, so this type of force isn't nessesary. So a cop doesn't get knifed. Either way, overkill is overkill. There are many pressure points and nonlethal methods to use in place of kicks and punches. Or even tasers.
And although the cell phone video sucks, it looks to be overkill. I post this video because, unlike some that are up in the air and yet judged, this one doesn't seem to be up in the air at all.
