I really don’t see any evidence of King fighting anyone. His reaction looks like that of someone in a panic because the blows keep coming even after he submits.
It’s good to know that two of the thugs did time.[/quote]
It’s right at the beginning. King jumps up off the ground and lunges at one of the officers. This was after he’d thrown two officers off his back. These officers were in danger, and it’s not their job to further endanger themselves in that situation. Which is what they’d have been doing if they tried to got in close enough to do more than whack him with batons. He’d shown superior strength, he’d attacked the officers, and he was not willing to comply. Asshole’s lucky they didn’t shoot him.
