Another disgusting display of police acting out of line. There is no reason for this kind of act.
LOS ANGELES -- Despite lying on the ground with his arms and legs spread, a suspect got a face full of police boot on Wednesday. The kicking cop added insult to injury by giving a post-beating high five. The brutality was the final chapter of a pursuit that began about 1:30 p.m. at an attempted traffic stop in El Monte, Calif. Police tried to stop the motorist for a traffic violation, said California Highway Patrol Officer Jose Nunez.

That’s what you get for making me chase you, boy.
Sorry I did not see a high five after the kick but after the perp with handcuffed. Yes, I find it disgusting that the officer kicked the perp but a 65 second video does not tell the whole story.
Much as I admire cops and all the crap they have to go through while the rest of us are laying around watching TV, I don’t understand why they do stupid things like this where they can be seen. They’re just asking for trouble with the ACLU and all the lawyers out there looking for a deep pocket.
Make sure you’re behind a closed door with no cameras . . . then kick the perp in the head.
And the cop that kicked him will be out of a job and the taxpayer will have to payout in a lawsuit.
Prolly charge this guy with assaulting an officer....
Justified as the shine on the jackboot was scuffed by his face.
I smell a promotion!
I hate cop beatings but this was one shot to the head to stun him a bit so he could get the cuffs on him.
This was not a beating.
Yeah, I have a solution— we should send in a FEDERAL law enforcement team to make sure all the locals are doing their jobs right... /s
Its like Kris Rock says in his video, ‘if the cops have chase and come get you, they’re bringing an a**kicking with them’
You know, it does NOT tell the whole story. I am waiting to hear it all.
Damn straight.
Yes. Lead the cops on a high speed chase, get your ass kicked. just as it should be.
"I hope that was worth your badge Mr. Former Officer Of The Law. Good luck in your new career."

For no reason?! He risked the lives of not only the cops, but dozens or hundreds of innocent citizens.
regardless of your personal opinion of the cops, they are legitimate authority, and there should be some summary punishment for not following their lawful orders.
Do you really think the sorry ass that started this escapade cares about you, your family, the constitution?
“A society that extols virtue has 270 million policemen. A country that scorns virtue never has enough. “
Correction, not yet cuffed but certainly helpless and not a threat.
And we’ve already got the police officials playing the game. This guy won’t even get a slap on the wrist for a gross violation.
Typical.
I wasn't going to comment on this post but your nonsensical comment cries for an answer. One, doesn't matter what you want to call this, it was a beating. The guy was lying on the ground, clearly had given up and the cop walked up and kicked him in the face. He didn't do it to stun him,there was no need to stun him. The guy was lying spread eagle on the ground and other cops were coming.
There was no need to kick the guy in the face. People who make excuses for this kind of crap when there is a video like this plainly showing the cop kicking the snot out of this guy and, from the looks of it, knocking him senseless for a short time only make themselves look like fools.
Excusing this with dipsh** reasoning is as bad as Nancy Pelosi squirming and lying about what she knew about waterboarding, and just as dispicable. Oh and, BTW, this was a beating. You don't need to rain blows on someone in order to beat them.
