AC Transit brawl. I only post this because it appears to be Thomas Bruso, the same guy who got tased at an A’s game, in a video shot by my friend last August. Same hat, same simmering rage. Some points:
- At the A’s game, Bruso was yelling racial epithets as he was surrounded by security personnel, so clearly he’s got issues with black people.
- Bruso appears skinnier this year, compared to the Taser incident, when the cops estimated his weight at 280, while Santa Rita Jail said 225. Maybe he’s been doing a lot of cardio kickboxing. He also claims to be a “67-year-old man” in this video, though he was purportedly 62 last year.
- Fascist and racist YouTube commenters may have to re-examine themselves, the people really excited about the bus fight are basically the same dudes who were excited about the cops tasing.
- “Why would you ever pursue someone wearing an ‘I AM a Motherfucker’ t-shirt?” -Jenny
- How do we resolve this story, and let Oakland start the process of healing? Thomas Bruso needs to fight a mixed-race team of BART cops - no tasers allowed, or guns that are easily confused for tasers - at West Oakland station, to be broadcast on Justin.tv.
