Were you able to find the entire video on the Fox website?

The version broadcast on the news report was edited quite a bit, though it does seem to be clearly a case of excessive force, it would be interesting to see how they went from talking to the guy to beating the guy up.

To be honest, I think they played the last part of the video first, and the initial contact appears to start at the last part of the video.

In other words, the media is playing the beating first to get attention, then plays the initial contact last...Watch the video

In addition, this appears to be a fixed camera based on the movements of the camera, so I am confident they have the entire incident.

My gut feeling is they didn't like this guy supporting the person getting the ticket, and decided to pummel this guy when he started recording the incident.

Here is the article associated with that thread. Scroll to the bottom and you will see a longer video (“Watch the raw video below”) which starts with the guy getting a citation of some sort.

First you say:

it would be interesting to see how they went from talking to the guy to beating the guy up.

Then you say:

Stepping into the middle of it and basically inferring that the cops were lying was not a good plan.

Ya have no idea, then suddenly ya know...

Of course we know when he was attacked by the cops he was not stepping in the middle of anything.

By the way, thanks for bumping this thread. The more people that watch this video, the better.
