"What followed, as captured in nearly eight minutes of excruciating footage, was a brutal and excessive use of force that is becoming all too familiar. Brown is seen being punched repeatedly and violently manhandled by officers who, despite his insistence that he wasn't resisting, continued the assault."
"Even more infuriating, police later admitted they had the wrong person. Brown had no connection to the alleged drug activity, yet he still ended up bloodied, humiliated, and initially charged with resisting arrest. That charge was later dropped."
"I was like, you know what? I'm going back to the precinct to make sure he's gonna be OK, because I felt like the police was going to beat him up some more. Could you look at a video of your child being dragged like that? It's disgusting. It really is."
