It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

CW: some pretty extreme police violence (also I can't fucking believe this video is 9 years old. Fuck all has changed.)

I actually briefly met one of the guys in this compilation (before it happened). Was a big deal locally kinda. Problem was dude didn't make a very ideal victim because he's literally the scum of the earth (and not like, "he's no angel" type shit you usually see (and he's white anyway), I wont get into details because it would require a CW but he's garbage just trust me) so a lot of people I knew couldn't see the systemic problems involved and only saw someone they hated getting fucked up. I was one of the only people that I knew saying "yeah no doesn't matter that he's garbage noone should be treated that way and he wasn't under arrest for those things anyway, he was just in the drunk tank." And honestly, because of the local culture being very enabling of the things he did, most people weren't saying he deserved it because of that but because of more petty shit anyway. The people principled enough to hate him for the things he did were on my side when it came to what the pigs did lol.

Just from the collage of brutality I just saw and your description, I'm gonna guess he was the guy standing handcuffed in a cell that some meathead pig full-force shoved backwards into the wall.

Don't feel any pressure to confirm or deny, just thought I'd throw my guess out there.
