Hmm... seems as though by the time the first cop started swinging the club, Jones was just about done for the day. Didn't seem like he was putting up ALL THAT much of a struggle after they wrestled him to the ground.

*sigh* I guess I'm going to naturally feel "some kind of way" when seeing cops beating up a black person. Just to be clear (and before anyone gets their knickers in a twist), this is N-O-T to say that the cops were racist/to blame, whatever. It's just a sad situation overall.
