He ignored jungle law: right or wrong, when you violate the same law and are arrested for it 8 times, don’t be surprised if the enforcers beat the crap out of you hard enough that death is a risk.
Another poster above posted this question, which I think is relevant.... what is there in a violation of the loosie law that would justify a forceful takedown of a violator in lieu of say, issuing him with a ticket?
I assume Seek and Valentine have never had to deal with someone who doesn’t want to comply with the cops. Garner was what is sometimes called a frequent law enforcement consumer.
The cops and the perps all know how things really happen on the streets, and it’s nothing like the old show Dragnet.
Maybe he should have watched this video for helpful tips.
