That'll teach him to buckle up! How do you say "don't tase me bro" in farsi?

cops are the same everywhere

^That's too broad a statement. I think it's more accurate to say there are cops everywhere have the potential to do the same.

But the point is true; the one thing all cops have in common is they're human.

Watching this is painful, I can't bring myself to upvote it, though Lucky's point is very good.

This really disturbs me. I almost didn't upvote it. If the video of a crash which consequently killed seven people is unacceptable, how is this any better.

It's an uncomfortable video to watch, certainly (which is why I decided not to Sift it a few days ago), but there's no way it breaches any rules (i.e., it's not snuff if no one died).

Returning this video from Sift Talk - return requested by nibiyabi.

Moving this video to lucky760's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

The other difference is that it is systematic in Iran. The beatings like this are occurring only on a small scale as a warning of what is to come if the protests don't stop.

The Ayatollah has already threatened to begin cracking down on all protests with 'revolutionary force'. This is, unfortunately not an isolated incident, but punishment and intimidation meant to serve as an object lesson to all the other protesters.
