Traumatic brain injuries are no joke. Pretty clear the guy can’t even stand after his head hit the pavement. That’s at least a severe concussion and could be worse.

Need to have a brain in order to have a brain injury.

We send our kids out to get concussions (not to mention countless repeated sub-concussive impacts) all the time because people love american football, but now one’s a reason to get all het up about someone with the temerity to resist arrest i.e. demonstrate how cops are bad at their jobs?

Like it or not people get hurt when their skull hits pavement. If you’re going to tussle on the street, know it means there’s possible massive repercussions to your actions.

I played rugby for four years with pretty reckless abandon to my body, even at my dumbest I never would have played on concrete.
