Now you mention stress/violence.. What do you think goes on in the head of these kind of people whom do end up in that situation? Yes we can agree the guy was a criminal, but many people have lots of run ins with the cops with out being a criminal.

If you live in a bad area, you can bet your ass you will likely get pulled over or questioned by cops much more than someone in a nice area. Now you compound that over a life time and then you see this kind of stuff or know people whom have been beaten by cops, ect..ect..

Well then don't you think that these people are also under stress when dealing with cops? Meaning they might be more willing to resist if they have seen the other side of dealing with cops which perhaps you or I haven't?

I agree don't resist but hell this guy didn't resist and they all lined up to each take their shots beating the guy.
