Do you really think had he been saying those words it would have been any different? seems to me more attention would've attracted more punishment!

I don't think the victim was the one who cursed at the cops. He kept saying "what did I do?" If the cops had told him, or, if he heard the cops saying to stop, he wouldn't have been asking what he did.

Jaywalking isn't thought of as a crime by most people so I can totally see someone asking this question after being bum rushed after committing the crime. Generally it's a tickit-able offense.
It's just that Austin is cracking down hard on jaywalking. When you get uppity police officers under high pressure from higher up and citizens who don't think they're doing anything wrong shit like this is bound to happen.
Doesn't mean it's ok for police to be so brutal though for such a mundane offence. It's like police arresting children for common childlike behaviors. Except it's adults being beaten for a simple infraction.

Does anything the cops surprise you anymore ? In America cops do as they please. But then again they are not as corrupted as many other police forces in other countries
