Yes, I really stupid question just like the one about having no legs and being exempt from criminal activity.

Donna, you keep going on about him having no legs. If he had legs, would it bother you as much?

For me, it would be the same.

I don't agree with police brutality. In this case it was even worse and showed complete incompetence. He wasn't going to get very far without legs was he? Were they vision impaired? 

[azureline**]

You don't seem to get that he had prosthetic legs on at the time. So he did have legs.

I am against police brutality just like everyone else but I can't see how a judgement can be made without knowing exactly what occurred before the limited video was shot.

If he had not resisted arrest, it may not have happened.

[donnashuggy]

It may not have happened if a skilled policeman arrested him instead of an incompetant bully.

I saw at least 4 police officers there.......................the guy was out of control, spitting and biting.

He must have very small legs because I can't see them

Really? I think he has had amputations above the knee. 

I suppose that is because they were off before the filming began.
