Naked Wizard

At the Coachella festival, a man called the Naked Wizard doesn't want to wear any clothing. This is not out of the ordinary at a festival such as Coachella, but three brutish policemen plead with the Naked Wizard to put his robe back on saying, "You'll have more fun with your clothes on." After the man refuses, the police move in on the man while a large crowd of festival goers form a circle, making the police brawl the center of attention. One man films the entire affair (see the video here), and we watch the police men bend the man's arms in painful positions, kicking his legs out from under him, and then one officer uses his fist to pin the Naked Wizard's long hair to the grass.

Soon, the Naked Wizard is being tased, again and again, in the heart and the back of the neck. The officers keep bending his arms and one officer drops his knee into the man's abdomen, which gets a shocked verbal response from the crowd.

It's unfortunate the crowd didn't act swiftly and rush these three policemen and beat them to a pulp. Many shocked reactions can be heard from the crowd as people watch a man getting beaten for not wearing clothing. Maybe America needs to get back to fighting the police when the opportunity arises. The crowd in this instance could have rushed the police, grabbed their tasers, and tased the officers until they couldn't stand any longer. The pretty Coachella girls should have pulled at the officers' hair and dropped their knees into their groins and guts. Some of the men could have twisted the officers arms and tried to make them scream. At least from the video, it looked like the police were enjoying it.

They were trying to beat his clothes back on, perhaps.
