    The guy in the hat and beard looked like deserved it to me. No clue on the other one.

    Both of the cops in the second video (2 victims) need to be suspended immediately, fired after the appropriate review and referred to the State Attorney's Office for possible criminal prosecution.

    In the first one (guy with beard), I'm OK with the cop tazing him, but not repeatedly striking him with a weapon.

    A thread on the second video was posted last night on the Den, but removed, not just locked, this morning. EDIT: I was incorrect, it was locked.

    Edit: Here's more of the first incident:

    Hard to watch.
    Hope these cops are out of a job at the very least.
    Hope I never bought these guys a coffee or a doughnut.

    I see why this is getting downvoted. The first part of the video is cut off where the guy continues to push the cops away and was resisting and bowing up to the cops. I watched it earlier online.

    I downvoted because the black cop was using his handcuffs as brass knuckles and beating the crap out of an unarmed man with them.

    Found an IG video online. That guy was hit with a taser multiple times and didn't go down. Wonder why the cops were there to begin with.

    He went down after the second time he was tazed with a little help from the black cop. Watch the YT video in post # 3.

    I definitely don't love that he was busted up with handcuffs, but that dude was resisting and not going down easy. I put most of the blame on the guy in this situation, based on the limited video we have. Seems like a classic FAFO scenario with cops

    The other video looks far more egregious.

    Two of these near us. Georgia fans being Georgia fans in the Florida section. Both times the police showed much more restraint than they probably should have. One time the people in one incident took the hint. The other would go so the police had to give him some encouragement.

    Not a good look for the cops. Seems like there would be plenty of video on this incident with everyone filming.

    What? There was a 2 page thread that you were posting in. wtf dude? Thats a low rent move. I did a lot of research in that thread and it was removed. I’m the one that found that second bit. You must of removed the other one for a reason I’ll never understand and you were definitely posting in it. Why would you erase that and start a new one? Weird dude.

    In the video in post #3, please point out the time at which you see the guy being aggressive towards the cops. ,the white cop was even walking away from him until the black cop tazed him. The black cop had his tazer out and pointed when he was still 5 seats away from the guy, who at that point was calmly talking to the white cop. Please note that in Florida it is absolutely lawful to obstruct or oppose a police officer WITHOUT violence if the officer in not in the LAWFUL performance of his duties.
