looks like this guy got a few nice shots to the ribs after he was kicked in the face. but it's hard to tell from the distance the camera's at--maybe the cop who comes into frame second just has a strange twitch that makes it appear as though he his punching a guy down on the ground spread eagled who had already been kicked in the face...
i'm astonished that anyone approves of this. maybe the word "gangbanger" is enough to trigger it; maybe it is a little legacy of shows like "cops" which never seem to show much in the way of civil rights abuse by the police--so you can watch shit like that and get an expanded sense of what normal looks like. which was an effect of and perhaps a rationale for that kind of show. help you expand your mind in the direction of consenting to anything done by those fine boys in blue. anything at all. unless it happens to you, of course. then civil rights matter. but when you're watching someone else get kicked in the face and you've read the word "gangbanger"---well, he deserved it.
