KNBC ^ | April 9, 2015 | By Jason Kandel and Tony Shin

Posted on 04/09/2015 11:59:15 PM PDT by dragnet2

Disturbing video filmed on Thursday April 9, 2015 by local news KNBC Channel 4 in Los Angeles captures a group of San Bernardino County sheriffs deputies beating a man after he had clearly surrendered. The man's name is Francis Pusok and he led police on a horseback pursuit. He clearly has his hands spread on the ground, and you can even see one of the cops kick him right in the groin, before proceeding on a full assault on the man.

Wasn’t it Kid Rock who issued the video on how to NOT get your @$$ kicked by the police? One of the points he made was to not run, or not make the police come after you. Because “if the police have to come git you, they’re bringin’ an asswhuppin’ WITH them!”

Yes but those poor cops were winded from chasing this dangerous man,
They belong in prison, even those who stood by doing nothing to stop the beat down.

“America better get control of these law enforcement machines..”

You are correct.

Perhaps if our property & local tax bills showed a separate new ‘surcharge’ showing the taxpayers just how much their share is too pay off the lawsuits...? Just a thought.

Here we go again. Heading toward complete collapse of society. Demonstrates an implosion of the value system in this country. This beating was out of pure rage and loss of control of one’s anger on the part of several policemen.

Am I wrong or are all of those black officers?

No, not all black. That is irrelevant. A society without values will have both citizens and law enforcement going nuts. Note to self: Do NOT get in an unnecessary conflict with police and certainly DON'T run when they tell you to stop.

Had ENOUGH Yet ?

Nope. Waiting for the Democrats to implement gay police forces everywhere so they can beat the tar out of conservatives and Bible-based religious groups.

The police are the muscle of the state. Those who fear the state should know that its the police you’ll have to deal with. The police are out of control because the state is out of control.

Oh I’m sure the bootlickers will be around shortly to justify this since those “brave” cops lives were in such peril at the time he was down & his hands were behind his back.

You may be sarcastic, but I believe that is really actually going to happen.

It’s just a matter of time before some armed leftist groups storm a church and create a Beslan or Mumbai hotel style attack.

“is it any wonder that cops don’t want you filming their actions???”

If you’ve ever been at a psychotic cop’s mercy without surveillance around, you know exactly why

A good number are pure sadists/bullies and they use the badge as a license to abuse people over the smallest infraction (or sometimes with no infraction at all).

But the worst part is not these sick f****. It’s that 99% of their coworkers listen to the stories (or even watch), laugh with them and protect these bastards.

If you report a fellow cop for something that “small”, your career or maybe even your life is over. Truly good cops simply leave the force once they realize this.

This morning i saw an interview of the guy who taped the killing.
He was seriously afraid.
Said he’d thought of erasing it and leaving town.
And that would not be due to fear of anything but fear of the cops.

Investigation?? Every last one of them should already be in JAIL , held without bond, and charged with Felony Assault, Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Attempted Murder, Using a Firearm during the commission of a Violent Felony.
Looks like LIFE IN PRISON to me. They should be immediately be fired also.

Also, if they rough you up anyway, be sure to get their details, and DON'T tell them that you'll be back for a little chat a couple of years hence on some dark night...
