I heard about this ordeal also. Regardless of what that man did. He did not warrant a beating like that. I do not know if it was racially motivated so I will not speak from that aspect. As poilce officers their job is to uphold the law no matter how angry they get. Beating a man that is laying on the ground in handcuffs in most def against the law. If they can not emotionally handle the situation then maybe they should have stepped a few feet back. When someone is resisting arrest the officers are supposed to try and with restrain the person without violence before any beating even comes about. I have a hard time believing all those officers could not restrain that man without excessive force! If all of us was just standing around beating the hell out of someone because they made us real angry we would all go jail right? well then that is exactly what should happen to them. They are not exempt from the law.
