I have a unique perspective here. My Uncle was killed 11 years before I was born as a police officer trying to bust a drug dealer. I also graduated from UCLA this summer. My cousins grew up with no father. My brother is also a police officer. When police officers use extreme force, it is warranted. It is an absolute rule that all people in Powell library past 11pm must present ID. This person resisted arrest and provoked the situation. I feel that the UCPD acted as they should and any protest otherwise is compromising the ability of the police to act as they are tasked.
"When police officers use extreme force, it is warranted."
Unless it's a mistake.
