This is unbelievable. If the man hadn't resisted, it wouldn't have been a problem. The police stayed remarkably calm.  Of COURSE the police felt threatened and like the situation could turn dangerous. The majority of the people in that crowd/mob had no idea what was going on.  It was simply angry, easily incited people who are biased against the police and have no ability to think rationally. If I had seen this incident? I would have been frightened - not because of the police, but because of the ridiculous mob.  Anyone can cry out "police brutality" - and this? Was not it. They did not injure the man they were trying to arrest until he had been resisting for minutes, and they needed to quickly diffuse an escalating situation. What a completely unnecessary incident caused by angry, belligerent, crass, foolish individuals. I can't believe this happened in Eugene.
