The fact that they continued stomping him long after he went limp was a nice touch.
It's nice to see a real-world implementation of a (sadly apocryphal) fake news article that made the rounds a while back.

AUGUSTA, Ga. – A U.S. Marine reservist collecting toys for children was stabbed when he helped stop a suspected shoplifter in eastern Georgia.
Best Buy sales manager Orvin Smith told The Augusta Chronicle that man was seen on surveillance cameras Friday putting a laptop under his jacket at the Augusta store.
When confronted, the man became irate, knocked down an employee, pulled a knife and ran toward the door. Outside were four Marines collecting toys for the service branch’s “Toys For Tots” program.
Smith said the Marines stopped the man, but he stabbed one of them, Cpl. Phillip Duggan, in the back. The cut did not appear to be severe.
The suspect was transported to the local hospital with two broken arms, a broken leg, fractured ribs, a concussion, and assorted lacerations and bruises he obtained when he slipped and fell while trying to run after stabbing the Marine.
The Richmond County Sheriff’s office said it is investigating.
Was out doing yard work and this thing rolled past the house a few times.
Been around train tracks for years and this is the first time in my life i've seen a track evaluation system like this.
Probably not interesting to most people, but i think it's cool.
What you can't see is the laser lights underneath, and all the associated equipment for testing the tracks i assume.
