I can't imagine why they didn't post pics of the officers injuries from that night...
A gal I knew in college had a brother at the same school. On a road trip the brother got pulled over for speeding, and it came up on the BOLO (stolen?, armed robbery? or something).
The other guy driving obviously didn’t know they were suspected of something real bad, and when confronted with the actions of the cop to get out, hands on the hood, etc. he started mouthing off, and I imagine might have shrugged off a hand or something. So the cop pulls out his baton and starts beating on the kid. (Not just a couple of whacks to subdue him, a beating).
The brother was being guarded/ standing by another cop. The brother, reacting to the beat-down grabbed the pistol of the cop standing by him and pointed it at both cops to get the beating to stop.
Soon though other squad cars were arriving, and the kids were hauled off to jail. IIRC it was supposed to be several years in prison for the brother, but they were working on getting him out earlier.
All before the days of cameras. Both of the guys attended a very tough engineering school, and not thugs.
