The reason why I posted this video was to show how something small can escalate very quickly. The fact the police were involved doesnt make a difference to the point the video makes.

The video starts out with a couple guys aggressively posturing and going eye to eye, but there was no real physical contact between anyone. There was essentially no fight going on, but just some youths having words with each other. A lone officer comes along and uses physical force to detain the youth who was having words with the other youth. Then the scene moves further out of control with non-involved spectators becoming involved in the scene.

The discussion I intended to propagate was on the appropriate level of force. I think its a good video for all to watch as it shows how things can escalate quickly.
