I guess all of you have heard about the police beating of this 350 pound man. This event has gotten me heated.

They say that he apparently took a swing at one of the officers, so they clubbed him. This would be fine if they just knocked the wind out of him and handcuffed him. But these two officers continue to beat him down for several minutes, and even more officers join in for the stomping. I mean, these officers were using their knight sticks as golf clubs and jabbing him and doing every other possible form of attack a knight stick can offer.

On TV, one guy said the officers were not guilty of excessive force and were just acting in self defense. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't someone who acts in self defense stop attacking once the opponent is on the ground?

This event just sickens me. The man was beaten to death. Sure he had cocaine on him and took a swing at the officer, but once he is restrained, he should not be continued to be beaten. In the video you can see that he takes the swing and gets knocked down immediately and lays there. The officer stands over him for a good amount of time, and then just continues to beat the shit out of him.

Pitiful. I think each and every one of those participating officers deserve to bite the curb and the man's family members can kick their fucking heads in.
