I love the way they blur the teen to "protect" him from... something or other. You can almost only see the cops raining punches and taser on him and he not relenting which should be the first hint something is not quite right with the slant of the story. Then I saw something it caught my attention: the size of the teen's thigh. Holy crap, that does not go with a small gangly teen. So, I looked for the unedited video and it was provided.
Lakeland FL police were called to an apartment complex about non residents using the pool. *reportedly* (news story below) this 16 year old refused to identify himself or provide proof he lived there and was asked to leave. He refused then this happened. Appropriate or… pic.twitter.com/3g5MMFSCex

That is one big asshole. He is taller than the cops and easily outweighs each cop individually. He chose to resist, he lost. I hope it is a lesson he learns. But I doubt he will.
