yeah it's clearly brutality for no reason. doesn't matter what he did before that. i mean, stealing a horse is a serious offense and all, but still, he was down and not resisting. literally moved his hands behind his back and didn't try to stop them from beating him

there's an "internal investigation" on this disturbing video http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local ... 50951.html

37 times punched
17 kicks
4 baton strikes

13 of those blows to head

30 year old man named Francis Pusok

oh, and he laid there for 45 minutes before he got medical attention

f**k. Cops. They act like they're at war then feign shock when a few get executed.

I had a long debate with exploited about violence against police. I was wrong. If they want to act like they're at war with the population I've no problem with people acting like they're at war with cops.

i think a clear way forward is video cameras on cops. if they don't like it, they can quit. if they don't have it on, they get fired.

secondly there needs to be civilian oversight. if an incident happens, and it will because it will all be filmed, no internal investigation, it goes to a civilian board to review. even if cops are protected from criminal wrongdoing, they should lose their jobs

yeah. rodney king resisted at first (he was high on pcp). this guy, while he was running from them, once caught did not resist. hope he doesn't have permanent injury because some cops acted like animals

sheriff said they 2 of his cops were hospitalized: they were dehydrated

probably from severely beating a man in the desert
