You can sit here and compare the pros and cons of each situation, however it comes down to a judgement call, something that I think each and every one of us, would’ve made the same call he did. > > END of story I understand her getting cuffed after retaliating, but there was no reason for cops to be jacking her in the back of the head with nightsticks. If she refuses to move, peacefully arrest her. The police need to show restraint. Getting heckled by some college kids is NOT good enough reason to start bashing people in the back of the head as they are trying to walk away from you. > [@Audiophiles called out](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/audiophiles-called-out/41090/122): > > Once again they were told to clear the area many times… She chose not to listen, then she got in the way of the police, got pushed, got upset and attacked an officer and got beat the fuck down like she deserved. > > Also you have no idea what happened before this video was shot/edited. Peaceful protests do no warrant unprovoked violence from the police. If they want to peacefully disobey police orders as an act of civil disobedience, they should be able to do so without getting bashed in the head with a nightstick. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/police-brutality/203799)._
