Not so much excessive force but literally punching somebody while they are already down. In the face. Unnecessary and uncalled for force was used

Although he was resisting arrest. Beating him in face was unnecessary.

The man was resisting and not complying. The officers tried other tactics to try to subdue the man.

Just what do you do with a person who is not fazed by a taser, and continues to attack two LEOs? Write them a ticket for disorderly conduct?

They should have just backed off and tazed him. With 2020 hindsight, that is what I would have done.

Hrm, yes you see. My poor neighbors pay for my yards to be watered through their taxes. It's a great deal. We need more poor people in Columbia.

As Mizzou learned the hard way, campus protests can be very bad for the institution of higher learning. Police and even the National Guard should be used to restore order and make it safe for minorities (e.g., Jewish students) to attend class. The left has taken over higher ed, you see results. FJB

Harry, your reply to me is true, and accurate, but a peaceful protest is legal.

Start holding the alumni accountable who use the state taxpayer dollars in the form of their state government salaries to donate and buy tickets to athletic programs of these universities. Revoke their degrees, and find someway of filing criminal charges against them even if you have to make it up.

They need to revoke the degrees of each and every UM Columbia grad who has an engineering degree starting with the walking dictionary we have in my hometown who times stoplights. That computer geek can do nothing but quote a bunch of state regulations and policy that nobody understands.

No, not if they are peaceful, otherwise the answer is yes.

When was the last time you saw a peaceful leftist protest? "We need some muscle over here" ring any bells?
