This is uncomfortable to watch.

In the US, you can receive a hefty fine for crossing the road unlawfully, also known as 'jaywalking'. Or, occasionally, as this video shows, civilians are wrestled to the ground by nine police officers. This is the distressing moment when a 16-year-old teenager was manhandled for walking in a bus lane. As you can hear from the boy's family, who have now lodged a complaint for the confrontation in Stockton, this isn't usual protocol. Was the boy resisting arrest? We'll let you judge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=83&v=4nBsZyXnwyI Clip via YouTube/MediaTubeTV
