While one shouldn't run from cops, It is brutality when someone of authority exercises excessive force on an unarmed person (black/white/whatever). Too bad they won't be any type of discipline for these few and corrupted police officers.
But then again, this is not a new phenomenon.

When someone runs from the police, it's reasonable to assume that they are armed. You just never know really. It's understandable what they did given the situation, but that doesn't make it appropriate. There's an underlying aspect to this that I don't think anyone is talking about though and I'm a little hesitant to bring it out...
Would this have happened if the suspect had been white?
If it had happened to the suspect and the suspect had been white, would there be such an outcry?
