In that person's defense, I think the VPD may have definitely been doing something wrong there; trying to control a riot by purposely hurting people in such ways doesn't solve anything.

He was there, in the front line. That is proof enough, caught on tape.
Personally, I hope he is so injured he can't plague mankind with his spawn. I wish this had happened to about 200 more people.
In a riot situation, anyone stupid enough to walk towards the police and/or hang out at the front of the crowd deserves whatever they get. It's like falling while mountain climbing, it's your fault for being in the wrong place and doing stupid things.
The police issued plenty of warnings throughout the night that if people didn't leave they would be gassed or banged. Every block they went they announced "move it or lose it"(paraphrased) before taking action. There were times when people would taunt the police and it actually makes me sad that they weren't shot with rubber bullets or bean bags or bitten by the dogs.
