'Excessive Force'

'The video footage shows excessive force by two of Santa Cruz\'s \'finest\'. Was that necessary for such a dangerous a crime (shoplifting)? What do they do to kids who break a window playing baseball (cause costly repair)?'
 

'Something odd about the audio.'

'Where is the street noise? Studio-like echo? \n

\nYou need some video preceding this clip to understand what was going on. If he was handcuffed and under control (not trying to run away) then it would be excessive force.'

'You imply that you know something that\'s not being said. If you were there and have facts to report then report them.'
