CAUGHT ON TAPE: Fresno Police Officers Violent Arrest of a Homeless Man

Video Here

Of course, no charges have been filed yet.

I don't care what this guy did before the video was recorded, they have the man restrained, two on one. If it were anyone but a cop doing this they would be in handcuffs by the end of the day.

These Guys are boned. I used to work for the California dept of corrections and in 10 years I never had to hit a dude in the head to get compliance. That was excessive they are boned. Its just good they were cought on tape.

These bastard fucking cops. Somebody should hold their hand down to a solid wood coffee table and break their hands with a heavy-duty hammer. Fuck them!

i have always wondered how amusing it would be to walk up to a cop on holloween night.stuff a 12 gauge shot gun in his face..rob him cuff him hand and foot naked to a pole or something nearby his car..take all of his shit out of his car to include his shot gun and assault rifle in the trunk and a police radio...just to let em know what it is like for the shoe to be on the other foot..of course if the pig made a sudden move you would have to blow his brains out..oh well..what a shame..

Well, for every incident like the one on the tape, there are tens of thousands of arrests that are not like that at all. That's why when it happens, its all over the news ... because its rare.

I have LEOs in my family and I hear the stories of the shit they have to put up with, including threats to their lives EVERY DAY. Try living with that day in and day out without blowing a gasket.

And by the way ... if you really, truly hate cops, the next time you're in trouble call a hippy.

Leos in the family, geeze, go figure. I'm not against all cops, but I'll just say this. There was never a cop when I needed one and a few times when I didn't need one, one showed up and busted me, so I have no real need for cops. Cops show up after the crime and take a report, or try and catch the perp, but the damage is done.The three burglaries that have happened to me in my life, all I got was a copy if the police report, they never caught the guys. Yeah, I'll agree that cops mostly deal with scumbags, but they must have low IQs, as they treat everyone as if they are scumbags. Fuck cops and all that they stand for. Enforcing laws that are rediculous like the Marijuana laws show they aren't intelligent at all. I believe it was Henry David Thoreau that said:
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]“a really free and enlightened State” that recognizes “the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived.” It is a state that “can afford to be just to all men, and to treat the individual with respect as a neighbor,” allowing those who did not embrace it to live “aloof.” [/FONT]
Now not knowing how one could live "aloof" these days, the basic tenet still proves to be true. The problem is that from time immemorial, this type of of government has not been known. What a refreshing Idea though, Thanks HD.

Yes, you are right about who they deal with and what they put up with... but let's think about all the times that things like this do happen and are not video taped.

And they can't pretend that they didn't know how it was gonna be going into it.

The fact of the matter is that if you or I did this, we would be in handcuffs immediately. There hasn't even been a mention of suspension for the officer.

Police brutality....when will it end? Who saw that video of Oscar Grant getting shot in the back while he was handcuffed and lying flat on the ground.....That video made me sick to my stomach.

Yeah, I've seen it. I figured everyone knew about it already. Perhaps I was wrong.

Again ... this stuff is on the news because its RARE. Dog bites man ... not news worthy. Man bites dog ... and that's all over the news. I'm not excusing these actions, mind you. In fact, I honestly believe that when officers overstep their bounds and commit brutality, they should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law ... and lose their badges as well. On the other hand, I honor and respect those officers of the law who go by the spirit of the law and not the letter of the law.

Again, for all those who "hate" the cops, call a hippy the next time you're in trouble.

And Med ... you are absoultly correct. The police are usually on the scene after the fact. As you know ... that is one of the most important reasons to preserve our Second Amendment rights.

In the context of the Oscar Grant situation, if someone had called a "hippie" ...one 22 year old young kid would still be alive instead of being shot in his back like it was an execution. Contrary to what you think, there are far more unreported cases of police brutality than there are reported, and generally when they are reported officers get a slap on the wrist ( Desk duty.....or suspended with pay) it is ridiculous what the cops can get away with. I use to volunteer at a downtown homeless shelter and I would see cases of police acting extremely violent almost everyday. I use to have the belief that cops were there to protect you, you could trust police officers, but now.....I know better.

Well, I'm not sure what you're disagring with, Max.

1. I said that police brutality is rare.

2. That cops who step over the line should be prosecuted.

As of this date, I cannot believe that the police are the enemy of the people, unless you are talking about the BATF under the Clintoon administration.

BATF = Burn All Toddlers First.

i dont care how stiff they said the guy was not once in that video did i see the guy threatening the cops life enough that they had to hit him

 

[ilkhan]

Now I don't have sound on this comp so i don't know what was said on the video. However, I can see that the guy seems to be unable to put his hands behind his back. A peace officer is allowed to "use enough force to gain compliance with a lawful order" The suspect was on his belly one officer had his hand and was attempting to restrain the suspect. The other officer took the time to slug the suspect in the head several times. The offending officer should have been more concerned with the suspects free hand then wanting to strike him. The offending officer here is in deep trouble. If this had happened were I worked he would be on the fast track to either unemployment or into working for I.A.

It does happen that many people can not put their hands behind their backs I would say 1 in 50 inmates needed waist-chains. However in an emergency you can just force him into cuffs painful or not. But if that officer felt safe enough with the suspect having a free hand long enough for him to smack him around a bit. Then I don't know...

Smacking a suspect (or an inmate) must be done with the thought process of gaining compliance. Grabbing his arm and shoving it behind his back painful or not is not brutality it is gaining compliance. Hitting them in the head is more like showing them your the boss.

Most of these cops are high school bullies all growed up they follow regulations they love feeling big and bad. Its the baddest gang in town. Deep down many are little Napoleons they know that other officers got their back and many will cover for each-other. They become adversarial towards those they are here to protect and serve. Many revel in the opportunity to hurt them be it citizen or inmate doesn't matter. At the prison were I worked the courts mandated we video tape EVERY planed use of force and that had a great result and I am very proud of my prison for the changes they made. However, other prisons in our state did not have the same treatment so many abuses still take place in them.

You know, I was a prison guard for 4 months. Remember the Texas Seven? I worked at that prison.

Anyway, we video taped all planned use of force as well. But guess, what?

It's really easy for the camera view to be obstructed when there are 4-6 guards in a 6x9 cell with the inmate.

I have quite a few really good friends who are police officers. They use brutality all the time, I hear about all the stories of their abuse of power. The reason it is rare is because not enough people walk around with video cameras taping every arrest.

The police are here to protect and serve, but in their mind they are here to rule and powertrip. I rarely ever see a policeman prevent a crime, its always after the fact, when they can do little to affect the situation.

Hopefully that one officer who did the punching loses his job, gets sued for all he is worth and spends a little time in prison.

If you collect all the brutality videos collected in one year of Police abuse of Power, it would boggle your mind just how rampant the problem really is.

In My state there was a black fella who got pulled over for a simple speeding offense. The patrolman saw fit to make this young man stand outside his car in 40 below zero weather. When the young man complained that he was getting cold the officer replied that he would arrest the young man for non compliance if he got back in the car to warm up. End result that young black man lost his ears to frost bite. The officer is still patrolling our highways. Something very wrong happening in this country, not just economically.
