As an aside, I just think it's kinda wild that we're now living in a society where you can't even protest your arrest because doing so can cost you your life.
It's like, "just shut the eff up, take this abuse, and let me put these cuffs on you."
But maybe that's just me.

Its easy to avoid conflict though. These cases of cops acting crazy are 1 in a thousand. Sometimes you are just put in cuffs til the particular situation is solved. Since when could you protest an arrest before anyway.
I know it's easy to avoid conflict; I hear you loud and clear in that regard. But there's something to be said about standing up for your rights. Isn't that one of the mantras of this democracy?
That you should always defend your rights--right to protest. It would seem, however, that protesting your arrest is grounds for abuse and/or worse.
And I am NOT a cop hater, but let's not pretend for a second that a bunch don't abuse the rights and liberties of arrestees.
Shoo here ^^^ we have a clear violation of this guys rights, but had he dared to protest he would likely be dead of on some resisting arrest type steez. I just think it's crazy that as a citizen you are at the complete mercy of a cop during an arrest.
But, that's just an aside.
