I am still curious though how this women ended up on the pavement. I think from this video we are suppose to conclude the police are the culprits. Nothing here leads me to that conclusion. It also appears that previous threads posted by the OP are themed as the Police being the "Bad Guys" and are the perpetrators of excessive force and brutality.

They are human and do both good things and bad. In the case of Police though, they ARE NOT the law or above the law, however, they have been entrusted with enforcing the law AND they hold the power of life and death over the people the interact with so they can and should be held to a much higher standard IMHO. The police I meet in my part of town live up to this, not so much in other parts of town or the entertainment districts or at night.
Then there there is that "Blue Wall/Code of silence" which needs to be smashed into little bitty pieces. That is just as bad and stupid as the "no snitchin'" code in some minority communities. I also fault the attitude that many LEOs have that they are a special brotherhood (privileged in some views) separate from other people and everybody else is disparagingly referred to as "civilians". It really doesn't go alone with "To protect and serve" which in some departments is often treated as a joke.
I think this is a reasonable and balanced view based on the facts I have and my experiences. I try never to assume or jump to conclusions until all the facts are known but am always skeptical in case there could be some official oppression going on in cases like this.
BTW, how about this case in Rochester NY?

Ok, are these "monkeys" who deserved what they got or citizens getting a dose of "official oppression" and unreasonably aggressive police tactics?
Now read the very conservative Lew Rockwell's site and take on it.
