Google it, you WILL find it.
The guy who ran from cops and got beaten by them on tape which lead to the LA riots later to say "'Cant we all just get along" was found dead at the bottom of his swimming pool.
Now while no law abiding citizen would condone what he did that attracted cops to him for the initial stop. Looking at the infamous tape it was clear, at least to me, that at that point, the cops were in the wrong. There were dozens of cops surrounding him. I do not see why that many cops couldn't have taken him down quickly.
What can happen with groups in times of stress is that their adrenaline can kick in and restraint can fly out the window. There is no way I can side with the cops, from the time the video starts to the time it ends.
