You obviously didn't see the whole video... where it shows King being partially subdued, then physically jumping on the police officers... more than once, if I recall.
The beating that was shown every 30 seconds on the MSM was simply the result of King physically attacking the police officers, and getting beat down.... and it very conveniently left out the first part, where he physically attacked the officers.
No, it's not pleasant watching someone get beat with batons, but it's also not pleasant seeing the aftermath of way too many police officers that have been jumped on, had their weapons pulled from their holsters, then shot and killed with their own weapon...... simply because they didn't have the opportunity to beat the perp down to the ground.
