Sadly, there are plenty of dipshits in this country who believe that cops can and should do whatever they want to people; that police are somehow above the law. In this case, dipshits with that frame of mind will claim, 'well dude in the truck shouldn't have run, he had it comin'.
Under the law, it doesn't matter that this dude led police on a chase before he complied and surrendered. It's not legal and it's not right for law enforcement officers to sentence the dude to a beat down, like a gang of violent thugs, when the dude's restrained. That's not self-defense, that's police brutality and a violation of the suspect's rights.
And, any cop who claims he was justified because he feared for his life in that situation is straight up admitting that he is not qualified to enforce the law.
Based on the video, I think those cops should be terminated immediately and charged with excessive use of force.
