So...you're OK with the idea that saying things to police, unarmed, is met with enough force to put you in the hospital?
Because I'm not ok with that. "Known agitator"? Maybe after the thin blue line folks did what they always do and dig up all the dirt on the victim that they can. I'd bet my next paycheck the cops who assaulted an elderly man on video had no idea who he was.
One has to wonder why the military is capable of showing more concern for ROE in more dangerous situations than police are able to show for fellow Americans.
