For those thinking the current events are just an American issue.

You can see the woman try and stop it but is too scared, and then trying to hide it by shutting the door. Disgusting.

I've always said and will always say that people in the UK are excellent when it comes to delusion and denial. Systematic racism exists everywhere.

Grenfell and Windrush happened! NOT just a USA issue!

The female police officer seemed to be trying to stop them

Apparently he'd attacked a doctor with a metal crutch, and also injured three coppers with his walking sticks.

But the amount of violence from that cop was clearly OTT, especially as the man had already been sprayed with incapacitant spray.

To add context, they obviously didn't just randomly decide to beat the guy up.

People get emotive when they or their friends are assaulted, but the bacon should know better not let those emotions get the better of him. Hopefully he'll face the consequences.

They shouldn't beat the guy up anyway, they are police officers. They should not be hammering somebody on the head several times like that.

Absolutely, he wasn't a present threat once disarmed and sprayed.
