Many posters on this thread seem to believe that this kid has a "sure win" suit against the BATF, or, at least, against these agents. I certainly do wish that was true. It's NOT. It's not even close.
I'd like to believe that if the kid had been very seriously injured, or killed, during this incident, that he then might have a case. But I know better. Been there; done that.
Ya'all need to adjust to reality! If you can't get used to the idea of having federal agents grinding your head into the pavement with their knees, just cause they feel like it, maybe you best move to a different country.

Hey, no argument it'll be an uphill battle--against the ATF, it always is. But a picture is worth a thousand words, and this is an awfully talkative picture right here. I would be real pissed off if I were the boss ATF guy and had to back up this SOB kneeing the kid on the neck. And I think most courts would let the issue go to the jury IF the kid has proven damages.
He can grind folks faces away all he wants, his union will protect him.
G.G. Liddy has an alternate solution, but we all have to practice it for it to work.
But we have ask Clair if it's time yet. I suspect the answer is still, not quite yet.
