Stirrer of the Pot
The victim of this abusive cop was exercising his right to peacefully assemble, in a public place, no evidence of a curfew in effect was shown. The civvies were in a place that they were legally entitled to be, and have no need to explain their presence or business there.
That's what the guy's defense lawyer would say, and he'd be right - at least on the surface. But I believe he was excercising his "right" to go out and get a hooker. Police are allowed to investigate "suspicious behavior", and laws against loitering are pretty common in this country (before approaching the guy, one of the LEOs can be overheard talking about how that particular car has been cruising around the neighborhood that evening). While that certainly doesn't excuse the LEO's behavior, it makes it hard for me to have much sympathy for the "victim".
If you don't want to be on the receiving end of an abusive cop, don't put yourself in a situation where you have to deal with any cop!
