I hear you, but if things were right, no police officer should have the rights to hit you with a whip. The most he could have done was arrest you and take you down to the station. Flogging you in the middle of the road while his colleagues held you down to stop you from moving, is just next level police brutality.

Him refusing to wind down his glasses or attempting to run away doesn't give them the rights to flog a grown man.. Doing that was crazy.
