Toward the end, police are arresting someone they've got on the ground, around a cluster of toppled newspaper racks, and as a young woman moves toward a policeman he hits her with the baton. Is this police brutality? I admit being taken aback by seeing a policeman in riot gear whacking an unarmed girl with a baton, but I'm not sure whether it was an inappropriate use of force. It certainly seems like he could simply push her back. I don't know. Have a look at the video and let me know what you think. Read/Post Comments (0) Previous Entry :: Next Entry Back to Top |
