In other words, is the level of violence seen in this and maybe other videos appropriate based on what we can see in the video? And yes, people commit this and way worse crimes among each other and they commit similar or much worse crimes to police officers, ambulance workers, traffic wardens and firefighters, but that is almost always reprehensible and much more often punished accordingly.
Case one, the officer involved incident with Lateef Dickerson
Now to be fair, a grand jury in 2014 decided not to file charges against the officer. But what do we think.
The incident happened after a fight nearby, when the police arrived the suspects fled to scene. Then this team of officers and others went out and searched for people they thought might have been involved in the fight outside a gas station. This man was unknown whether or not he had been involved when the officers ran/drove up to him and ordered him to get on the ****ing ground.
The kick according to news media broke the man's jaws and knocked him briefly unconscious. The kicked man, Lateef Dickerson was arrested for assault, grand theft and resisting arrest, charges that all since then have been dropped.
So what say you one, what say you all? Just or unjust?
