#1 We did not see the beginning of the incident.
#2 We don't know the prior history of boarders in that particular area -- could be an escalation of previous problems.
#3 The FISHEYE camera lens, being held at CHEST LEVEL, and it's motion, also suggests a concealed camera carried inside something else.... definitely NOT a camera phone, and the lens does not suggest a typical camcorder......so this whole episode MAY be staged by the kids, or someone coaching them.
#4 The officer's reaction is tied to previous 2 points as to how justified or over the top it was. The kids were definitely in the wrong.
#5 Checking..... Checking...... NOPE.... I've no sympathy for the skater rats in this piece. I've seen the actions of too many of them in public areas before this to care at all about them.
Point number 3 is my biggest issue with this one though.
