From Stories My Brother Has Told Me, He's Encountered People On The Streets On PCP And He's Seen Them Shot With Bean Bag Bullets From Shotguns Numerous Times And They Don't Go Down. He's Seen Them Sprayed With Pepper Spray, They Don't Go Down. Only Thing That Even Phases Them ARE The Baton Sticks. Back To The Video... I Saw The Man Trying To Clothesline The Two Officers So They Beat Him. I Then Saw The Man Fall To The Ground But He Kept Attemptin To Get Up So They Kept Beatin Him. In Fact, He Did Succeed In Getting To His Feet And They Kept Beatin Him. Finally, More Police Officers Showed Up And They Finally Wrestled Him To The Ground... And The Batons Were Put Away. So I Don't See Where These Cries Of "Excessive Force" Or Coming From.
And I'm Spent...

i totally understand you on this fact...but think about it...these cops have no idea if the man has
1. Heart Problems
2. any other problems with his mind or body
they should have tried anything else before beating him down to make sure he didnt get hurt
1. they hit him with the sticks first
2. then they pepper spryed him
^that should have been the other way around...but it wasnt
and no he wasnt getting back up from what i saw....he was grabbing at the sticks.....but you may be right about him getting back up
but the thing that made me say "wait a minute".....i saw him on the ground reaching for the sticks...then an officer takes one stick.....and jabs it in his face....that was fucked up
