A "Terry Stop" relies on reasonable suspicion. A patdown is permitted to check for weaponry.
If this was a Terry Stop, they went so far that they turned it into something else; pinning an unarmed one-legged man to the ground, stamping on his legs, is not a Terry Stop. Reminds me of the bullshit they pull where they pick someone up, mess him around, and then kick him back onto the street whenever they feel like it; because they can say "it wasn't actually an arrest" they get away with it.
If this was not a Terry Stop, then it's all just more bullshit from bullyboys in uniform.
You see the footage. Seriously, how do you perform the mental gymnastics to defend this blatantly unacceptable activity? They're not heroes. They're out of control bullies wearing uniforms, and the longer we let them get away with this sort of nonsense, the worse it's going to get.
