A young man wrongly identified by a witness as a participant in a bar brawl flees from fatigue-clad cops

That's an outright lie by the reporter. The video clearly shows the officers were wearing common police officer uniforms with their badges clearly visible on their chests and insignias on their sleeves, and gun belts around their waists.

The guy was clearly running from them, dropped something from his hand, moved toward the cop, and raised his hands toward the cop before he was knocked down. It's tragic that he chose to run, was positioned where he was relative to the wall, and that he was misidentified. None of which was the cop's fault.

“None of which was the cop’s fault”? So who slammed the guy’s haed against the wall?

That is just low.

Everyone here can view the video and the only people who see the the kid as a danger are the cop groupies. The US is turning into a police state and you idiots are cheering it on.

Why did this minimum wage guy feel it so important that he had to pay a guy $60 to drive him to an alley in Seattle in the middle of the night?
