I’m so glad Obama won:-) Now the subintelligent Republicans can go lick their political wounds and lash out at the world with their misplaced sarcasm all they want. It won’t do much. Those cops should be held accountable. The new progressive govt can show the world how much better they are by using fair due process as opposed to the torture and other 3rd world methods the conservatives prefer.

That video and his mother's lame writeup is further proof that we've lost the war on drugs.

THE POLICE SHOULD ALL BE FIRED AND BEATEN FOR THEIR HORRIBLE BEHAVIOR. LET'S SEE THEM DO THAT TO ILLEGALS AND DRUG DEALERS.

MOST COPS ARE JARHEADS.

He is obviously a camera whore who was looking to get arrested. Since he couldn't provoke the police the first time, who knows what he tried the second time. Whatever it was, looks like it worked. He should be happy.

I didn't see this beating go down but the St. Paul Police department has a history of corruption and anger management issues. I remember a couple years ago the St. Paul Police Chief's son, who was also a police officer, came over to Wisconsin and beat someone down in a bar. I've also met Keith in person before and can say that he wouldn't even be a threat to one cop let alone 5 cops with body armor and billy clubs. I hope that the individual officers are punished both criminally as well as in civil court.

Why? What indication do you have that he's a Democrat? Lots of the protesters here weren't for any party.

I guess you weren't here for the RNC. Bandannas came on every time the riot police leveled their guns or threatened the use of chemical agents, which was quite often. Sure, some so-called anarchists wear black bandannas, but I saw far more bandannas of all colors going on as protection against the police.

I'm sorry, as a Obama supporter, I have to say protesters like this kid make the democrats look like fools.

Maybe so, but I bet they are not covering their faces with the bandanna. I guess you never noticed that terrorists groups (i.e. Al Qaeda, KKK, street gangs, etc) all use bandanna's to cover their faces. This is so they cannot be identified and arrested for their illegal activities.
