38. He got a typical knee party
Sat Jan 19, 2013, 01:37 PM
Jan 2013

They love to do this to people. It is a "legal" way to beat the shit out of their victims.
5 people all with knees in his body as they try to stretch his arms in extremely unnatural ways to get them behind his back.
All meant to cause extreme pain.
7 cops
All of them looked quite comfortable. They've done this to plenty of people.
