Bands Assulted By Cops!! This Is Unfair!!

Look if you wanna send rude comments just don't. This video is coming from an outraged fan. I'm not here to say cops are bad I'm just saying their use of this excess force is unnecessary. If you don't agree with me then don't waste your time posting a comment. This is me expressing MY OPPINION!!

THESE VIDEOS WERE TAPED AFTER THE COPS HAD ALREADY BEEN ARGUING AND MESSING WITH THE BANDS!!
Here are the vids as well:

Last night I got a Twitter update from Travis Clark (lead singer for We The Kings) and he said the Philly cops were assaulting and yelling at members of the band and tour crews. From what I've gathered they were being polite and calm until the police started yelling at them and dropping the F Bomb. Then they didn't get rude until one of the crew members was arrested and another was assaulted. Please watch this and show everyone you know. Let this injustice be known about!! These cops are abusing their power and need to be punished!!

i saw the twitter too. this makes me so sick and as i did more looking into this i wanted to scream. it was unfair and after i watched a few videos i was amazed to hear the cops said in the videos there was no evidence of violence. in one video the cops shined a flashlight in the camera to make sure there was no evidence. thanks for posting this. people need to know about it.

shits been going on since the beginning of police, power corrupts and there are few checks and balances for the police department

was there when it happened. i wanted to watch this, cause i was interested what people who werent in philly would think of the twitter updates (tweets? wtf?). so i was watching it, got 40 seconds in, and gagged.

not you, im just not over everything yet.

most terrifying thing ive ever experienced.

i think its just a couple of bad cops being jealous that musicians make shitloads more money than them, I mean most cops are alright but there are the bad apples out there. i wouldn't blame cops in general just the few that are giving the rest a bad name.
