Or not really shocked but instead a shameless liar. Neither is very flattering.

5 men beating down 1 man like a piñata is a little above and beyond most police brutality videos we see these days. Theres a reason why the murder of George Floyd was such a huge catalyst to protests- because the video was *shocking*. I expect this one will be at least as galvanizing as that one- based on reactions by senior cops in Memphis, the DA office, and the victims family. I think being *shocked* may not sound so strange to you, after the video is released.
