OMG:

So I've seen some vids of police brutality recently and this reminded me of an incident that happened last year around this time. It was on a tight and bright themed bomber Wednesday 2014 and while waiting in line I saw a man being brutally beaten (kicked and kneed in the face) by bomber bouncers. There were several other people in line with my friend and I and no one took action, no one said anything or took a vid because I guess we were all so in shock that someone was being BEAT in the great hall. The victim's face was covered in blood, he was out of breath, and I was honestly worried that they were going to beat him up so badly that they would kill him. When I went up to the bouncer to have them check my ID they told me the guy was giving them attitude so he "deserved it" (paraphrase from what I remember). I don't know if anyone reported this as brutality, but no mater how much attitude someone gives someone else, that does not justify violence. I convocated last term, and I still feel really bad for not reporting this. So I guess my point is please stand up for yourself and others around you. Just because someone has "authority", that does not justify their wrong actions.
