Survey says: Excessive force on the part of the cop. He is done as an LAPD Officer. They will cut him loose by June.

He'll be a LASD Deputy by Fall.

Says “During the course of the investigation a physical altercation occurred between the suspect and one of the officers, resulting in the officer receiving minor injuries to his hand. “

Minor injuries to his closed fists

The suspect kept beating the officer's fists with the back of his body.

No, he was holding his hands behind his back passively waiting to be cuffed when the cop first hit him. Also, he didn’t fight back but was just trying to protect himself from the blows.

For this cop it will start with a quick investigation, followed by his dismissal from the force, and that followed by an assault charge.

For the guy he repeatedly punched, it will end in a very big payday.

The guy obviously said something to the cop that caused this reaction. The cop is wrong at every junction here. He does not have control of his temper and if this is any indication he has no business being a police officer!!

WTF! That cop just lost it! Then after the other cops get there he starts telling all the people to go inside. Also the lady cop is worthless. Then it looks like the cop is about to strike the guy again and she holds the cops arm to like let him know, no more, stop.
I wonder how a beating goes for from the city? 100K or more?

Cops are human beings too, along with all the human frailties.

Perhaps the guy was yelling profanities at the cop, provoking him by saying he has a small penis, etc.

That being said, the cop should know this day and age that there are cameras everywhere. It does not look good for the cop. Even if he is not kicked off the force, the cop will be a marked man.

“Any police department (or university faculty, or military unit, etc.) is only as good as the worst psycho they tolerate.” ~ H/T RedStateRocker

Dr. Clarissa Cole on After Hours AM April 17, 2019

(Start at 1:18:31)

Dr. Cole: He had an epiphany; he was going to become a cop!

Eric Olsen: Ha ha ha what??? Uh, so, wait a minute, he was told by a former employer, if you ever, you better never get a job where you have influence over others, an authority position, or I’ll do whatever it takes to stop you. So wouldn’t becoming a cop kinda give him the ultimate authority over people?

Dr. Cole: Well, you know, lucky for all these other people, he kept moving from county to county so they weren’t really, uh, yeah, it is the ultimate authority he was just moving around so people wouldn’t know what he was doing, and I think getting out of the teaching profession they didn’t know what he was going to do.

He eventually applied to the Broward County Police Unit; he was rejected, though, because he failed the psychological test.

Eric Olsen: Oh that’s it he’s out of the career. No career for him He’s obviously unstable…

Dr. Cole: One, you know what? One would think so, and I actually used to perform these psych tests, and oh, do I have stories! You would think that it would even, it’s supposed to, let me tell you how it’s supposed to work, it’s supposed to prevent you from getting a job as a police officer or a prison guard.

Eric Olsen: Sure.

Dr. Cole: Does that always occur?

Eric Olsen: I would hope that it does.

Dr. Cole: No, no, no, I would say 50% of the time.

Eric Olsen: What?

Dr. Cole: It’s supposed to be a be a requirement, a REQUIREMENT, if you don’t pass, if you are not psychologically fit, you are not supposed to become a police officer or a prison guard. Does that actually preclude you from becoming a police officer even as long ago as what, 2005? No, I was doing them in 2005. Half of the people I rejected still became a cop.

Eric Olsen: How does that happen? How do they get around this?

Dr. Cole: Oh God there so many ways

Eric Olsen: Is it a buddy, a dad?

Dr. Cole: My son, he’s the son of my buddy, his dad is a cop, he has to be a cop, he’s going to work in this county and we’re really understaffed, we need people, we know he failed, but it’s OK. The amount of excuses I heard to employ people.

And that’s the thing, just so the general public is aware, it’s difficult to fail, it’s difficult to fail one of these psychological…

Eric Olsen: What would cause one…

Dr. Cole: It’s not like the bar is so darned high that no one could pass, it’s nothing LIKE that, this test is just to find out is this person basically psychologically stable, are they non-sadistic, do they not have criminal or punishing tendencies or narcissistic tendencies themselves. Basically you’re trying to weed out anybody that has a like God complex; I’m judge, jury, and executioner. You want to get those people out of there. You’re trying to get people out of there that are just psychiatrically so unstable that they can’t control their emotions so, maybe some sort of bipolar thing going on or somebody that absolutely clearly has a personality disorder, like narcissistic personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder. They are not

Eric Olsen: Checks and balances. Checks and balances to protect the general public from somebody that would not do well in that position.

Dr. Cole: And I was very, yeah, I was extremely, forgiving on these psychological tests even when somebody would sort of hit sort of some of those marks on the tests we would give, I would ask in interviews I would ask a ton of questions just to be very, very sure that this person was indeed failing the psychological exam, and I did not fail that many people, but the people I failed, please believe me that it was for extremely good reasons, extremely good reasons, and half of them became cops anyway.

Eric Olsen: So when they‘d leave would they go to a different state and do it?

Dr. Cole: Hah no, they would get hired by different a county, like a couple minutes over usually. Somebody knew them and “Now let’s pick them up.” “No, no, no, he has really strong sadistic tendencies and fantasies of rape and murder, you really shouldn’t hire him” and they would. And that’s exactly, I hope it’s different that was like I said, this was in 2005, it scared the heck out of me and I said I would never have a career doing that I don’t want to know that those people are becoming officers.

Eric Olsen: Tell me it’s in the minority, though, that this happens.

Dr. Cole: It’s in the minority that people fail, the majority of people passed. But those that do fail, like I said it’s for very good reason, but half of them. Half of them got picked up. So no, it’s not a minority a full 50% got hired.

Eric Olsen: That is truly a scary number out there that 50% of...

Dr. Cole: It’s a small sample, a small sample that was in a place that was economically depressed and needed officers…

(End at 1:23:29)

So tell me, did this cop fail his psych exam? If so who hired him in violation of the rules, and therefore is no longer protected by sovereign immunity?

Poor cop, (I’m sure the trespassing perp is no angel and is probably known to the PD), but this cop is just trying to practice his social distancing, and was likely pissed that his AM donut/coffee/steroid break was interrupted by this guy on the wrongs side of the fence.

Time to “serve and Protect” with some punchy-face city-tyrant show.

Ok I watched it intently.....btw that is one big vato

Vato said something to piss him off that’s for sure but the dog barking you can’t hear but man it set him off

I thought I heard “white”

Cop needs to to take some strike lessons..way too many hay makers

They wear you out

Vato was relatively unfazed

Female cop was as usual ....useless as tits on a boar hog....just stood there. ...hesitant ....what do I do....what a joke women on patrol usually is....

A few can shoot ok....not many

He’s lucky his breams showed up....he shoulda tazed him....takes much less cardio

The man was actually resisting arrest

You resist, you can be forcibly restrained.

Cops should have saps and batons for insuring their own safety against resisters. A tap on the head with a lead sap is wonderfully calmng for a resister
