No one appeared to be alarmed. These guys were very comfortable doing this and speaking about it. Which makes me believe that this is common and accepted behavior. As in the George Floyd case.

I was shocked when Ali Velshi said that the police department said their actions were justified.
That is outrageous. The man was subdued. So no matter what your reason was for going after him. He was subdued and they kept brutalizing him. How is this justified?
If that is acceptable treatment of citizens - then this whole police department needs to be defunded, yes and demolished.
