I was watching that police chase on TV yesterday morning and the guy ran into another car, and was running from the cops in a stolen car. He then got out of the car when he hit a dead end and ran from the cops some more. He finally "gave up"(I put this in quotes because he might have had a weapon but didn't throw it down--it turns out he did not), threw the hands in the air and stuff. The third cop that got there was too rough on him because there were already two other cops cuffing him.

I don't know what to think anymore, I'm just glad I don't have that job.

ETA: After reading the article you posted, I can say it's nothing like the Rodney King beating, that was a disgusting display-this one was one cop, RK was 4 . The community activists they are talking about were no where near the scene. The three they claimed were being rough was really just one who was being rough and two who had the guy down to cuff. From the vantage point of the news cameras that captured it it was just the one guy.
