Gracie Breakdowns

I don't normally like to pile-on cops every time there's a story that seems to suggests terrible policing ("Cops shoot ANOTHER unarmed man!"), but this is some pretty terrible policing.

Well, his skin was light-colored, but it's not really clear if the guy could be considered non-white.

The point of the video was not police brutality, though. It was how too many cops aren't well-trained in hands-on physical restraint and control, because the rely too much on tasers and other non-lethal weapons. So we have three cops, each of whom outweigh a shirtless, sock-footed guy by at least 50lbs each, and even when they have him on the ground and incapacitated, they don't know how to flip him over and cuff him.

Not sure what the operative word is supposed to be. The guy who got arrested could almost claim police brutality just from the fact that it required so much effort for three larger cops to subdue him.

A drug zombie got tazed a bunch and kept walking around, then a terribly uncoordinated cop threw a girly kick that caused him to shuffle on the wet floor like bambi on ice.

It was pretty great.
