A disturbing video posted to social media that appears to show a uniformed Los Angeles Police Department officer whaling on a man being detained has prompted an internal investigation for misconduct and excessive use of force.
Good synopsis
Thats what I saw too
Whatever he said cop snapped
Maybe that working mans little wifey hed planned on railing early afternoon while her husband was at work had to cancel on him
Put him on edge
“A tap on the head with a lead sap is wonderfully calmng for a resister”
LOL. Damn neart zen like.
Can also give someone brain damage.
Plus the officer lies at the end of the video saying the perp attacked him... which is blatantly false.
It’s something he said....you can hear part of it but you can’t make it out really
If so, the cops will quickly get the body cam video out.
If not, they won't release it due to the, "ongoing investigation."
That's actually a correct term and the correct spelling.

The correct use would have been wailing, wouldn’t it?
Nope. I thought so too, so looked it up!

Whale can refer to a person who is impressive in some way (like a whale is in size), such as a gambler who places large bets. The term is used that way by the character Sam "Ace" Rothstein (played by Robert De Niro) in the 1995 Martin Scorsese film Casino, who at one point calls a gambler named K. K. Itchikawa "a whale who plays thirty-thousand dollars a hand in baccarat." "That's the one you really gotta watch," he advises. (The term whale watching, by the way, as used in ocean tourism, is a relatively recent addition, being first sighted in the mid-1900s.)
Whale is also a verb for the action of hitting something (such as that gambling table, or a punching bag) forcefully and repeatedly. This might be surprising to those people who misuse the identically (or, in some dialects) similarly pronounced verbs wail or wale with the meaning of "to hit." The verb whale can also imply attacking vigorously or repeatedly, as in "the team whaled on their opponent 20 to 2"; a person might also "whale away" during a debate (meaning they are verbally attacking their opponent and showing no mercy) or "whale into/at" that person with whom they are debating.

Someone here say's..."You know..I was wrong!!"
I'm about wrong a 1/4 of the time....
That cop looks latino to me. Latinos excel at pissing each other off. The gangbanger knew exactly what buttons to push.
It’s not the first, nor will it probably be my last time. When I am wrong I admit it. No one knows anything, and sometimes we do not even see correctly. After making the video full screen I saw that the policeman still had the man’s hands behind his back. But I was right in the fact that the man had not been handcuffed. My mistake was that I thought he had pulled his hands away from the policeman. That was incorrect, but technically he was not detained. We was in the process of being detained. 8>)
Either he was overreacting to something or his partner is a useless hump who thinks chatting and narrating over the radio what is occurring is poloce work.
Looked like his partner was a female. I could be wrong though. 8>)
