      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.

          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).
