I remember when this happened to me. I became furious and angered at being treated this way. I left the shop flustered and overall just pissed off to be treated in such a degrading manner. Afterwards I felt more likely to enact revenge on the shop in some unlawful manner, but I didn't because that is not who I am.

I'm a white male.

I was 22 and I ended up in a shop with two of my best friends. Twin black males of the same age. I asked them afterwards if they were pissed off or angry about it. They had not seemed to notice because after a lifetime of this they had come to expect it. These guys were two of the most stand up best people I have met in my life. They help everyone in need, constantly volunteer, and one of them even works with disabled children. Today I am still not sure what sickens me more. The fact that people are treated like this. Or that these two great guys are treated this way so often that it is the norm for them.

I may get some flak for this next statement but I do have to say. You really can't understand how this makes you feel until it happens to you. Even if you are empathetic and understanding of the situation.

I find this too funny.

I'm skeptical about this video simply because of the way it was edited. I am always against police brutality and excessive force. I just don't like being misled. I too want to know the full situation. The news link is just someone's blog post. There is no actual investigative information.

At the start of the video you see the guys legs kick up and then brace against the sidewalk. He pushes up with his legs and locks forcing the officers and him into a standing position which actually increases the distance in which they slammed into the sidewalk.

The video clearly cuts out everything before the moment the officers grabbed the man and then quickly cuts out as soon as they clam the surrounding situation and begin to explain.

Haha, 1 minute in and I'm laughing too hard already.

This looks like 19th and Lincoln in SF.

"I've have a tie, you don't have a tie." - What a douche.

Haha, the first thing I noticed was AVGN as well. I'm glad to have scrolled down and found I wasn't the only one.

Same question. It might just be harder to track via the handy cam. The guy controlling it has to have a better sight on the plane.

It is probably a bot.

It looks to me like they wanted you to play as the gunner. MW2 does this in their AC-130 gunship levels. Why is this viewed differently? At least it isn't in crappy black and white cam mode.

Non-stop Whining.

What the heck is with the VHS tapes. Fail.

Haha, the nightly ritual of rubbing it off. I think I have that nightly ritual too.

He almost sounds like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYwyODsQ7do half way through.

Hmm, did anyone else get a commercial about a use and throw away plastic duster at the beginning of this video?
