How do you figure it is obviously police brutality? If HE/she had moved on when told to there would have been no arrests.
I noticed none of these protesters have an address. Bunch of freeloaders that contribute nothing to society.

Housing and transportation is not cheap. I can see how someone can afford the one time expense of a laptop or a monthly data plan by comparison.
How is this a race thing? Clearly the incident can't stand on its own so you have to bring race into it.
And again... a Canadian cop against a Canadian. It has nothing to do with anything "migrating up north". Your issue.
C'mon ES... You know why the race card was played here... When you have no argument to start with and you've been picked appart by many, the last resort is to muddy the waters with diversions.
Some places actually charge a fee to the 1%ers to get a card. No "free DVD loans" for them, just those who can't afford the $10.
In general terms the photo by itself proves absolutely nothing. Who knows what damage a person can inflict upon themselves while flailing around resisting arrest! Sensible people avoid that type of situation.
Not quite innocent. Put yourself in harms way, harm usually follows. I have little sympathy for these 'protesters' although any documented cases of police brutality should be procecuted as should cases of rioting and vandalism done by the 'innocent' people as well.
Resisting arrest: The inability to react any faster than the sound of the officer's "kind words" can travel from his mouth to your ears....
My absolute, all-time favourite 3 minutes of film........
at least in which the actors wear clothes.
Oh COME ON!!!
lol
"Police brutality" is unjustified by definition.
If it is justified, it is not "brutality".
Brutality
1. The state or quality of being ruthless, cruel, harsh, or unrelenting.
2. A ruthless, cruel, harsh, or unrelenting act.
Hiroshima does more to fit that bill, yet a lot of people will argue it was justified to prevent further harm.
Well, if you want to split hairs:
Fine.
1. A couple of black eyes does not indicate "ruthlessness", nor is it necessarily cruel nor harsh if deserved, and obviously the officer (if he even did it!) had relented.
2. See above.
The common usage of "police brutality" is a call against unjustified use of force by police. You know that as well as I do.
No, I look at it in terms of the effect of damage. A bouncer can brutally beat the crap out of a threatening entrant - whether or not it is justified depends on whether his actions were in self-defense or the safety of others.
I don't mind if you disagree or understand the concept differently.
When the police order you to leave the area and you don't comply then you have to be prepared for a forceful arrest.
