If the police act this way does it not in some measure justify trying to escape?

I would think so, but would anyone have believed him? That camera is the only proof in this case.

******************
It’s not just physical beatings ,, it’s the way the system abuses offenders with stacked charges ,, one offense with a half dozen charges... and in Florida a simple fine/ticket gets bumped with arbitrary tack on fees and junk making them near impossible to pay... nothing is in proportion and for many fleeing is the rational choice.

LOL, what?

Yeah, if they beat someone who was not running or resisting. that happens far less frequently, though it does happen.

I'll save my sympathy for those cases. Looks like the assholes who want to run and fight and make law enforcement a competition have plenty of support from others here.
