Ever see this? It's a few years old.

Any thoughts? It does seem like the cops were too rough when they arrested the guy; at least they could've taken off his book bag before they handcuffed him with his hands behind his back. But I am a little glad to see the guy get in trouble for thinking he could just walk away from the cops without giving them his ID. I also wonder if all his backtalk and his mentioning that he's specifically a "Ph.D. student" was meant to communicate to the cops that he was superior to them.

The guy gave his side of the story here:

Again, it does seem that the police overreacted, but it would be easier to tell if the guy hadn't been trying so hard to be dramatic and intellectual in his account.
