    Damn, I live in CLT and that video was tough to watch. Looks like an obvious excessive use of force. And the PD already defended the officer's use of force… I have a feeling this will lead to protests.

      I wish this would lead to protests but most of america is oblivious this shit is even happening every day.

        Charlotte had protests a few years back for a similar issue, so it's very possible. I'm all for protests, but sometimes people travel just to cause mischief and for petty crime.

        It's very clear that workers need to unionize for bargaining power. I'm seeing more support for unions day after day so I'd say people are becoming more informed
