So you don't find any fault with what the officers did?
I guess these officers thought they could get away with it because they’re white beating the everliving crap out of a white guy:

Video (scroll down a bit):

Does Ajax ever make any sense?

These look like another case of someone fighting the police, resisting arrest, and enraging the officers to the point that they beat him up. The idea that officers are just randomly confronting, getting physical and killing black people because of this mysterious systemic racism that seems to infect the minds of all races who serve in the police department is what makes no sense. Watch the whole video on most of these and ask yourself, if you or I behaved this way, ran, resisted arrest, etc would we really be that surprised if the cops started getting physical with me?
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.

Fixed it for you.
After watching Derek Chauvin get put away for life for doing far less than they did? No, I don't think these five officers thought they would get away with this because they were cops.
ajax, you don't think, period. Yet again, we have here an issue you don't understand and can't engage due to being full of biases and false narratives.

Maybe it's because her speech was brief but for the very first time ever, Kamala Harris made me cry for all the right reasons. Granted it doesn't take much to get to me when people are suffering. I hope others will watch this and think about hammering their representatives to pass the George Floyd Justice and Policing Act.

He ran, didn't follow instructions, and resisted the officers during the entire interaction, of course he's going to get beat up. Once he was in custody not one officer mistreated him.

What we're witnessing is what it's like to live in a society where everyone is a victim and everyone should be scared to live because there's an evil person around every corner. Have you ever heard of the saying "Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create hard times." The past 40 years liberals have created weak men through their disgusting policies, so now we're going toward hard times. We're still two generations away from a society that will eventually wake-up and understand what weak liberal men have done to a once prospering society. Until then, we're along for the ride, they have been allowed to brainwash multiple generations into believing this country is evil.
I think, you of all people, talking about “strong men” versus “weak men” is rich with irony, since you’re not in control of your life, you’re miserable looking to blame others for your mental health, can’t seem to figure out the most basic tenets of finance, and probably haven’t really done anything stereotypically masculine to any degree that’d matter. Basically you’re a beta hoping more aggressive men than yourself will destroy the country so you can feel good about being a White person. It’s pathetic.

Who do you think you're talking to right now? But I do agree that hard times create strong men.
