Watch the vid: Drunk was subdued, restrained, while cop continued to beat him.
I watched the video. It was plain as day that the one cop hit the guy twice after he was completely subdued.
That officer should be charged with assault and battery IMHO. He should be investigated and fired.
There should be no place for that kind of behavior in police departments.
That guy makes other cops look bad. Evidence on the video strongly supports firing that officer and charging that officer with a crime.
By the way, 4 large officers vs. one puny unarmed man.
How damn hard could it be to properly subdue the guy ?
Back when I worked as a bar bouncer I'd been fired for asking for help in such a case and laughed right out of the place!
Police have a hard job and its made even harder by actions like that officer engaged in. I know of at least one verified case of a 20 year old guy getting hit in the back of the head by a cop using a nightstick simply because he was too drunk to get into the squad car as fast as the officer ordered. No fighting back, the guy was too slow because he was too drunk. That guy was my younger brother and several witnesses saw the entire thing.
I've spent well over 30 years trying to catch that officer at the right time, right place to deliver a bit of justice but the bastard has now passed on. SOB died back in 2006.--Tyr
