Thanks. I watched the entire 28 minute video nonstop. It’s clear he was resisting arrest, maybe that’s not shown in the OP video I don’t know (I didn’t watch that one, why should I when the unedited version was available?)
It’s clear he was resisting arrest so all bets are off after that point. What truly makes this sad though was that all of this, all of it, was due to “a bud of weed” he had stashed in his “drawers”. He says it at the end of the video right as they are pulling into the station.
All of that, including what looks like a nasty bash on this eye, for something that would’ve been little more than a traffic ticket for him (in terms of financial loss) if he’d just come clean at the beginning.
