I turned the sound down to avoid any extraneous commentary and to try to surmise what was going on.
Without the benefit of sound, it looked as tho’ cops were trying to cuff the guy. Whenever a cop got close enough to put a hand on him he would kick them back.
(I assumed) One officer was using his baton on the guy’s leg(s) just for that reason.
I play it back with sound and come to much the same conclusion.
Most of this is assumption based on observation.
We don’t know how or why the guy was in the street. For all we know he robbed a little old lady and ran over a kid trying to get away.
The cops were telling him (repeatedly) to roll onto his stomach…he refused.
The guy was obviously being obstinate.
“roll onto your stomach”
not hard to avoid a lot of what was going on there.
Do what the cop tells you to do and you won’t get tazed. Don’t try to kick the cop when he tries to roll you over to cuff you and won’t get a baton on your leg.
