There is a very simple straightforward way to avoid being manhandled by police.

COOPERATE!

Police will hold a suspect's arms to prevent him reaching into pocket or waistband, and also prevent him breaking away from control. That might be a reason for the arm hold in the video for all any of us (not having seen what led up to that moment) know to the contrary.

It might also be a couple of right bastards treating a prisoner abominably, which would have been less likely if he had been cooperating.

It might also be a prisoner simulating an angina attack (and please don't tell me you've never heard of that happening) to make it more difficult for police to process him.

Isn't it strange that some of the same people who were banging on about the evils of making assumptions in the George Zimmerman case are now so ready to jump in and do the same where cops are in the firing line?

Bottom line?.......None of us knows the full story!!
