Did this man violate laws, or not?
Most of these outlaw motorcycle events are of the outlaw motorcyclists getting in the face of everyone else, showing how they can violate the law with impunity.
The issue is not the alleged legal violation but the excessive force used.
Because generally speaking, it’s not okay for agents of the state to turn citizens into a fireball for misdemeanors.
Then there is also the excessive collateral damage to property and the danger to the public itself caused by over-zealous actions of law enforcement.
