This
is an excellent example of how the media twists things, and of how eyewitness testimony can be totally unreliable.
She said he was unmoving and being assaulted, I clearly saw him struggling before the punches.
She said the officer only stopped when cars went past, from what I saw the passengers would be able to see what was going on
Also: Assault is also verbal, he was clearly being aggressive towards them and they decided to arrest him.
This is just another bullshit attempt to make officers on the frontline look bad, I've seen far worse things, and the joke is the louts that ask for it usually get it and then feel sorry for themselves.
War hero my ass, he can go fuck himself for being a drunken fool.
*end of rant*

There's no such thing as a 'War Hero'.
War = Death
I copied and pasted that.
That said, he didn't deserve that.
The police are out of control.

It all relative
If he acted like that to 3 random guys it's quite possible he'd have been beaten to death.
That said, he prob acted out like that because they were police officers, no way would he have done it to 3 similar sized guys who were out for a few drinks.
My point is that videos like this should be taken with a pinch of salt as they are trying to deliberately lead you to a conclusion, when in actual fact what happened is very ambiguous.
I don't deny that there are instances of police brutality, but they are few and far between. This example falls very short of that category though.

Police are only human
and if you want to see something in a vid like this, you will see it.

Does she spin left or right? The truth is that this is an amorphous elastic blob that our brains interpret as something, when maybe there is actually nothing.

Do you know any policemen?
I'm assuming you don't, as you've managed to convince yourself that they are not human, but automatons working for the oppressive government.

fuck off.
A number of officers have an individual on the ground. It is clear from that footage that the person on the ground is going nowhere. You clearly see one of the officers punching and grabbing the head of the subdued individual.

He was going in the back of the van when it arrived
if he was still struggling (he was still struggling) you can't let him up.
Pinned down is not the same as subdued. I can't remember a punch to the head but he did knock him on the ground a couple of times. Big deal.
The 'horrific' injuries were some grazes on his cheek.
In a nutshell, some meat head drunken moron had his nuts handed to him by some police officers. Good. I'm not gonna lose any sleep.
