Have you been beaten with a baton?

Are batons swords?

I see 1 baton hit in the entire video. There was a second cop with a baton out, presumably for another hit. Let's say 2 then.

Batons are pretty common in crowd control scenarios. Usually cops don't hold back and just start swinging left and right.

2 baton hits are not nearly on the same level as executing them.

Seems disingenuous to start writing comments without even searching for more information.

Also they hit them 2 so it's ok is the dumbest argument ever.

Yes. Seeing more posts, it is absolutely disproportional. And there are some videos where they absolutely maul them for basically nothing.

I commented on the post I commented on though, which has very little police violence (compared to the other ones).
