I dont see what the guys colour has to do with it.
Many people seem to gloss over the part of this which strikes me as incredible.... the guy was carrying a metal IN HIS OWN FRONT YARD WHILE WORKING ON HIS CAR.
I am sorry to stress this overly, but HE WAS ARMED, IN HIS OWN FRONT YARD, WHILE WORKING ON HIS CAR.
When the police came along he obviously says to them "yes, Ive got a metal on me" and shows them the piece... it isnt unreasonable for them to restrain him. Then he starts filming them etc, I mean, either the guy is very naive, as in childish, or he is willfully trying to provoke them.
I dont expect its illegal to go up to a police and say "youre a god damned coward and you dont have the guts to take out your truncheon and hit we with the balls with it, I guarantee it" - but it wouldnt be very sensible would it? And if he did hit you in the nuts it would be a crime, but you damn well know there's no point complaining about it.
There's such a thing as common sense in this world, and if you go out of your way to antagonise police (ie - start filming them, demand that they give your metal back and acting aggressively) you can expect them to make things miserable for you. The guy went out of his way to wind up the coppers and acted in an aggressive and obnoxious way - so he had a hard time. Thats the facts of life, isnt it?
