that was a moronic statement to obvious brutality

He was lucky. Could have gotten him in in the gonads.

Dropped him like a bag of rocks. Based on distance and the punk being well above him on the hill, I’m not sure his head is were he was aiming. Sucks to be him. No doubt Austin City council will award the punk a couple million when the law suit comes in.

I would not say that was “obvious brutality”. That video only showed a few very short seconds of what took place. No telling what went on immediately before the video that we were allowed to see. Was the kid throwing stuff? I don’t know but I’m not falling for the same fake news BS we get from CNN, etc.

You know, I remember that movie scene myself. Wasn't he some sort of bounty hunter? Dropped that big dude like a sack of potatoes.

At the link there is another story about a young pregnant woman protestor who was struck with non-lethal projectiles in the back & stomach. She’s show crying in fear about her baby. Where was that concern when she brought her baby to the protest? You can’t help but be sorry & exasperated at the same time.
I blame the schools & the media. They use people like fodder in their mission of destroying the USA. People like this women are filled with the idea they are doing something noble, emotions ablaze, wanting to be part of the “movement”. Where are the sensible people that should be talking about the risks and the ANTIFA element?

i will give you the video does not show what happened before, but a man standing still, apparently oblivious, and a policeman targetting him and taking him down, i have to give the young man the benefit of the doubt until further evidence.

Uphill and downhill shots are tricky, even with the most accurate weapon and ammo combination. As already pointed out, beanbags are not so precise.

Yeah, it was The Hunter, where he played Papa Thorson. Annette O’Toole later played Thorson’s wife on a series called The Huntress.

No, snowflake. That was a beanbag. Brutality would have been for them to unload a Quad 50 on them.

He should have ducked. George W. Bush had that down pat when ducking shoes.
