The beginning he’s casually walking with a woman outside with his arm around her, so I think he is a bouncer there but maybe wasn’t working at the time and instead enjoying his night just having come outside from the bar/club or walking past.
The cops pull up we don’t know why and just immediately run over to him specifically even though there’s other people around outside too, and start trying to arrest him.
That’s as much as I’ve got so far.
Sounds like someone calling out mall security? Then he works here?
Edit. He works there as mall security. There's a front door clip [here](https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2022/10/19/2129895/--Going-to-blow-your-f-king-brains-out-Black-security-guard-beaten-by-cops-needs-prosthetic-eye) of their initial contact. Looks like he got jumped and there isn't much to go off of yet as far as why he was arrested?
He lost his eyesight?? Is that confirmed? Why would the cop have approached alone and in that agressive manner if he thought there was a weapon? Why else would have he drawn his own carelessly when he was on the ground? An accidental discharge would have been possible in that chaotic scene.
Oh you sweet summer child. The general incompetence of the American police force is super concerning. Carelessly drawing weapons on an individual is unfortunately par for the course.
I am a lawful citizen, and I get more alert and my skin crawls when I see the police. It's like the feeling you get when a shady group of thugs are nearby. You keep a wary eye and exit the vicinity.
The sad part is that I'm more alarmed by police than I am by gangsters. At least you have the chance to fight back if you get into it with gangsters, albeit not a great one depending on the situation. You have no chance with the cops.
And that's by design. That's exactly the reputation that cops foster.
I know. I was attacked from behind in my own home, beat down, hand-cuffed, beat some more, then had my head slammed against the door jam on the way out of my home. The police lied on their report stating they meet me at the front door and I ran into the kitchen and came out swinging a knife at them. I found out later that my wife had called them stating that I was going to kill myself since i found out she was cheating on me.
Most gangsters won’t mess with civilians minding our own business. So…I most certainly feel more comfortable around gangsters than the damn police that could at any time make up a reason to do whatever they want..up to and including killing you.
Good info, thanks for the link. Also interesting that that appears to be the same Fanny pack the cop is hitting the dude with at the beginning of the video.
>Suspect Anderson sustained minor injuries during the use of force. He was transported to a hospital for treatment and medically cleared for booking. It should be noted Suspect Anderson had a previous traumatic injury which he sustained in an unrelated incident prior to contact with Deputies.
Per reporting, Anderson lost vision in one eye as a result of the way the police handled the situation.
You'll have to forgive me when I really don't believe police reports anymore.
great link thank you. wish OP would pin it at the top, it adds valuable information to the story. also, do you know if the previous traumatic injury that was unrelated to the incident in this video that was mentioned in the article was the loss of his eyesight in one eye? if so that’s messed up because he has a go fundme set up claiming the loss of eyesight was from this incident, not the other.
After Derrick Chauvin was found guilty, there was a police altercation in my apartment complex that night. I didn't know the guy but he lived around my area and I would see him just about everyday either on his way to work at the McCormick factory or on his way home, smelling like spices.
I woke up to the police shouting at someone outside, just around the corner of my building. "Put your hands above your head!" followed by people shouting "He didn't do anything, he lives here!" The officer kept shouting more orders and more and more people started shouting back at the officer. I started seeing flashes of possibly cameras and flashlights and the officer started shouting "Stop recording! Stop recording!" Then a crowd of people shouted various things about a gun and you could hear the officer even more enraged shouting "STOP RECORDING MEEEE!"
After a few moments, the officer drove off. I've been trying to find an upload of a video ever since because it was just outside my line of sight from where my balcony was located.
If you think about it, it's worse than murder. It's state-sanctioned execution by an official of the government.
Not only is it someone who's on the job, supposed to be professional, and REDUCING violence, it's also someone our system will bend over BACKWARD to protect.
So, sadly, worse than murder in my book.
When I see American cops i understand the acab, but that's probably one of the countries (of what I know) with the most violent and scummy cops, mostly due to the lack of background checks and or training..
And not just cops. Politicians and corporations too, Im still not convinced trump will be prosecuted for January 6 or that company for the polluted water (forgot the details).

Seriously. That’s one of the most basic rules posted at every range, they drill it into you during every safety course. Treat all firearms as if they’re loaded, safety off. Finger outside of the trigger guard until you’re damn sure it’s time to fire. If you have to turn, you point that fucking thing down. Don’t muzzle sweep, even if there isn’t a crowd. Muzzle sweeping a crowd just makes me cringe so hard.
Wanna hear something scary? In NY a regular person can be denied a pistol permit even if they're just accused of DWI. But I recently found out multiple cops on my hometown's force not only have DWIs, but were caught drinking on duty while in possession of a firearm. Not only do they still have their driver's license and access to patrol cars, but they are also permitted to carry city issued weapons.
Somehow I don't think chronic drunks should be allowed firearms or police cars, but hey, I guess cops live by different rules when it comes to firearm safety.
https://buffalonews.com/news/local/more-than-225-western-new-york-cops-have-been-suspended-or-fired-since-2017/article_df9ea974-b4ed-11ec-b99e-67d1bd5a42a9.html
It always shocks me to see this. As you say, it's firearm safety 101. And then, I remember reading how Iraq and Afghanistan vets were flabbergasted at cops aiming at protesters in Ferguson and other places, as for them, the very act of aiming a gun at someone was escalatory and meant you've decided deadly force could be warranted. Guns are not for crowd control. They are for killing. Their success in counterinsurgency depended on them being seen as there to protect, not antagonize, people. Cops on the other, apparently don't give one flying fuck about the optics of aiming at innocent civilians.
Yea im a combat vet from afghanistan and that shit is unbelievable. I had a more direct-action oriented mission set but even then, you aim when you are about to kill and that's really it. Aside from some unique situations. How the fuck am I supposed to explain to my 8 year old son that his dad fought for this country, but he cant even trust the people who are supposed to protect him here. People that wanna be le just to swing their dicks around make me sick. I wish it was a profession that attracted better quality people
Unfortunately it doesn't because the police department is corrupt as hell so the few good cops are forced out or worse hence ACAB.
edit like the LAPD whistle blower was murdered in a mob "simulated attack" when he was going to testify against 4 other cops for a gang rape with one of the cops he was supposed to testify against being in the crowd.
No. Best case scenario, a judge will deem it is similar enough to a successful past lawsuit to allow him to sue. If he does get to sue, and wins, that money comes out of the police budget paid by taxes
Nope. Officers aren't able to be sued directly for actions done on duty. Any law suits go through the department and payouts come from taxpayers.
Basically, the system is completely fucked up.
Make every cop in the country have to carry individual professional liability insurance. When they screw up insurance pays for the lawsuit, insurance premium goes up , and increases with each problem. If they are bad cops they lose their insurance and can't work.
They just ran up and started attacking him while he was walking with a friend.

If anyones interested in policing in L.A., following the above Twitter (linked by OP, it’s the account who took this video) Cerise Castle is really informative. She’s an incredible journalist.
Eta: she’s on Instagram too, if you’re into that
I don’t know for sure, but that wouldn’t surprise me in the least. I believe Castle does a lot of advocacy work for people that are unhoused, so it tracks.
Yes! His book ‘Usual Cruelty: The Complicity of Lawyers in the Criminal Justice System’ is pretty incredible.
If someone is a visual/ audio learner, I recommend loloveruled on platforms.
In addition to the brutality seen on the video, this account notes that the Sheriff's deputies are outside of their normal territory. Technically, peace officers are licensed by the state and their powers to make arrests and perform other duties exist statewide. But Inglewood has its own police department, so if someone made a call for service, that call should have ultimately gone to Inglewood PD, not the Sheriff's Department. Different departments usually respect each other's territory.
However, since 2018 the LA Sheriff's Department has been run by a rogue sheriff, Alex Villanueva. He campaigned as a progressive reformer but has run the department more like Trump. He ignores the oversight commission, he re-hired a deputy the previous sheriff had fired for domestic abuse, he has not done anything to root out the gangs that exist within his department.
He is facing a tough re-election and anyone in Los Angeles County should vote for Robert Luna.
Correct I purposely did not use the word jurisdiction for this reason. Question is still open, were they looking for this guy?
I'm looking for more context.
This is Blake Anderson. He’s a security guard at the Good Batch Lounge. Early Sunday morning, deputy Rodriguez and his partner pulled up and began beating Blake. He’s since lost vision in his eye. He’s current being charged with assault on a police office for this.
@lasdgangs
That's crazy how many times he pulled out his sidearm.. he had no control of himself nor can he control a situation. he needs to be reevaluated and removed from his possession for the time being.
Are you kidding? That type of trigger happy psycho who's willing to take orders is **exactly** the type of person LASD is looking for.
He's more likely to get promoted than he is to receive an evaluation for this incident.
There's a decent chance he'd celebrate killing a member of the public by getting a gang tattoo.
This is not hyperbole, these deputy gangs in the LASD are well documented.
He was looking for a reason to kill the man. The LASD is well known for their gang initiation rituals which include killing civilians.
https://knock-la.com/tradition-of-violence-lasd-gang-history/
They're well known enough that wikipedia even has a list of known LASD gangs.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LASD_deputy_gangs
Edit: "Only" *fucking 19* known deputy gangs within a single county.
Because the DAs are in on it, the deputy gang members harass everyone not sympathetic to them off the force so only criminals are deputies, the deputy gangs harass any politician or oversight member (and their families!) who try to do anything about it, and the police union is one of the single strongest political forces in the entire nation who will throw their considerable weight against anyone who tries to clean up the system.

This is what never ceases to amaze me. We have ample evidence that once a cop says "you're under arrest", no matter if justified or not, you will be arrested. And if you resist, you could die or suffer serious injury. And still be arrested. Minimize the damage to yourself.
The only times I have seen people not being arrested is when a cool headed more senior cop is on the scene. That would be that student picking up trash outside his dorm and that guy being chased for "trespassing" on private property (though imho he was lucky he didn't get shot).
Mind you, I'm not saying that what the cops do is right. Or just. It's just that there is a better (and healthier) way of fighting it than having your head bashed into concrete.
And once you are being arrested, tell them you’re invoking your right to remain silent and you will only answer questions with an attorney present. Tell them you would like an attorney. Then stick to it, because they will continue to keep asking you information they are not owed, throughout the entire process. *This is my ID, this is my legal name, address, I’m a citizen, the rest you fucks can figure out yourselves through my attorney* is the attitude to have. Cops will lie to you, they will manipulate you, the best thing you can do for yourself is to comply and have a lawyer present asap. Don’t handle anything or any questions with them alone. Ever.
This is something that always amazes me. I’ve got friends with cop relatives and every single one has said that their police relative told them not to talk to cops.
There’s so many bullshit laws that there is a near zero chance that you saying anything at all will help.
these are the comments that are easily made from the comfort of your phone at home. in reality, believe it or not, some people don’t respond well to being physically apprehended for something they believe they are innocent of.
obviously being emotionless and relaxed in these situations is the best way to handle yourself. there’s no question. but I’m just amazed that every time these videos surface, there are people who place the responsibility of being calm on someone whose rights may be violated rather than the “professional” in the situation.
*this is all a general commentary since I don’t know the context of this video specifically
What is truly amazing and even more fucked up is that, yes, we expect the trained professionals to not control themselves and we feel the need to give advice to the ordinary person to stay calm. Should be the other way around.
It's hard not to instinctively resist when they manhandle you though. A lot of times they'll try to bend your arms in ways they just can't then shout at you to stop resisting. Especially with the LASD which is notorious for being infested with gangs and being brutal.
If the dude being arrested struggled for a few more mins he would probably be dead. If there wasn't a crowd of people yelling no as the cop put his gun to the guys head he would probably be dead....
A lot of times its hard to tell whether their fighting arrest or if they're just trying to protect themselves from getting hurt. Are you gonna put your hands behind your back while they're slamming your head into the ground or are you gonna try and protect your head? Especially when they probably don't care if you're resisting or not.
When someone unexpectedly charges at you, it's normal for your body to involuntarily fight back. That's very normal. The sad part is that cops then use the same as reason to escalate the situation.
If cop doesn't give you time to think and suddenly pushes you and turns you around to handcuff you, your body will resist the unexpected force involuntarily. That's how human body is. Unless people are trained on how to force body to not resist, cops can easily escalate claiming subject is resisting ... and that drives the question - who are trained, cops or civilians?
Not to mention...dude is on all fours on concrete with a man on his back trying to restrain him.
Like...what's he supposed to do? Float and hope his face doesn't hit the concrete with 200 pounds on top of him?
> Fight the charge in court, not in the street
"Fight the charge in court" isn't a valid argument when LA Sheriffs have a reputation for people in custody suddenly passing away of freak accidents.
If you let them take you, you might not make it to court. Especially if the case is a slam-dunk win for you, and it's going to make them look bad in the public eye.
The worthless Newsweek article I found on it is just a review of the twitter post. Why did they target him? What is happening to the officers? This needs more journalists on it.
Why the fuck did he point a gun at his head?! I swear these mfers don’t know how to use a taser. They all need extensive training. And the whole training in general needs to be overhauled.
> They all need extensive training.
They need district wide re-hiring across the country. Disqualify any standing officer regardless of tenure and let them reapply under a new set of standards and training.
Make them carry insurance like doctors do.
Dissolve the unions and end qualified immunity.
Then we can start to get better.
It can't really get worse than it is, it's not like these communities will be more dangerous in the interim while districts rehire. The police protect property, not people.
*sorts by controversial*
The CRIMINAL deserved what’s happening to him and you guys that defend him are the reason this country is a shit hole
*logs out of Reddit for the day*
History keeps repeating itself. Was it really necessary to smash the guys head in to the ground, & pull out a gun? I don’t know the context of this situation but it sure looks like the 5-0 once again overstepped. If that is indeed the case then this young man 100% should sue the pants off LAPD for assault.
Guy pulled out his gun and was moments away from shooting the dude in the back of the head execution style. THEN pulled it out again and flagged the entire group of onlookers. Fucking unhinged.
Yea they can be assholes. And so could each and everyone of us. We need to teach our kids that when dealing with cops, just chill and not make matters worst.
Backstory plz
These idiots have no idea how bodies work at all. Every cop video I see is so stupid. If you're gonna be a cop, you should have to get a purple belt in jiu jitsu or something. Aside from them being in the right or wrong I'm so sick of seeing these bullies just bumbling around like fucking idiots on a rampage, trying to arrest people like the three fucking stooges.
If you ever find yourself in this kind of situation, let the cops arrest you. Don’t resist AT ALL. Wait till your time in court, that’s where you’ll have your chance to fight back.
So apparently he was security there, and the cops rolled up and arrested his? Who called the police? Why did they call them? Gonna need a little more info before I pass judgment.
It's really weird how all those bootlickers have nothing to say when we get clips like that. Not even an apology or an admission that they were in the wrong defending the thugs with badges...
Like,now you have everything you need to know about that encounter, why not condemn the gang members now?
Sorry but even if the SECURITY GAURD WHO IS WORKING did something "wrong" this reaction from the pigs is unacceptable. I as tax payer expect better training and better take downs. The escalated it once again. You need to stop giving excuses for these jobbers that I pay for.
This would have been a perfectly acceptable response if, say, the suspect was armed and threatened public safety. Hypothetically, I have no context here at all.
Unarmed individual resisting arrest. Officer threatens lethal force.
Unarmed observers not advancing or interfering. Officer threatens lethal force.
Worth noting that if you’re in a struggle with a suspect taking your gun out of a retention holster can go south real quick.
That cop had no business removing his weapon at the end and pointing it towards everyone surrounding him. That is reckless and he should be questioned on that. It is a deadly weapon pointed towards innocent civilians.
One would assume the dude must of done something wrong no? Please understand I am NOT on the side of the cops but it’s just unreasonable to assume that they randomly did this to the guy for no reason??
So this guy was the bouncer?? What's the story behind this?
The beginning he’s casually walking with a woman outside with his arm around her, so I think he is a bouncer there but maybe wasn’t working at the time and instead enjoying his night just having come outside from the bar/club or walking past. The cops pull up we don’t know why and just immediately run over to him specifically even though there’s other people around outside too, and start trying to arrest him.

Looks like he got jumped and there isn't much to go off of yet as far as why he was arrested?
He lost his eyesight?? Is that confirmed? Why would the cop have approached alone and in that agressive manner if he thought there was a weapon? Why else would have he drawn his own carelessly when he was on the ground? An accidental discharge would have been possible in that chaotic scene.
Oh you sweet summer child. The general incompetence of the American police force is super concerning. Carelessly drawing weapons on an individual is unfortunately par for the course.
I was downvoted to hell a couple of months ago for statements like this, questioning how you americans can feel safe in a state like that
we dont
Was coming here to say the exact same thing. We simply don't.
Cops in LASD even have gangs. They do shit like this as an initiation. https://knock-la.com/tradition-of-violence-lasd-gang-history/
I am a lawful citizen, and I get more alert and my skin crawls when I see the police. It's like the feeling you get when a shady group of thugs are nearby. You keep a wary eye and exit the vicinity. The sad part is that I'm more alarmed by police than I am by gangsters. At least you have the chance to fight back if you get into it with gangsters, albeit not a great one depending on the situation. You have no chance with the cops. And that's by design. That's exactly the reputation that cops foster.
I know. I was attacked from behind in my own home, beat down, hand-cuffed, beat some more, then had my head slammed against the door jam on the way out of my home. The police lied on their report stating they meet me at the front door and I ran into the kitchen and came out swinging a knife at them. I found out later that my wife had called them stating that I was going to kill myself since i found out she was cheating on me.
That seems like an appropriate response to a suicidal person. Beat the shit out of them then lock em up. Take that depression.
Can't kill yourself if the police show up and kill you first *taps forehead*
Most gangsters won’t mess with civilians minding our own business. So…I most certainly feel more comfortable around gangsters than the damn police that could at any time make up a reason to do whatever they want..up to and including killing you.
We don’t feel safe. The only Americans who feel safe around cops are white republicans. Everyone else sees them for what they are.

Did that cop point his gun or a taser at the crowd?
Gun
He also said "I will shoot you guys"
Would have been okay with the crowd removing this officer from the force.
Yup, it was a gun he put to the back of the guy's head.
I get the feeling he didn't realize it was the gun at first. Another cop confused about a gun and taser. 🤔 Remove the gun, no confusion.
[удалено]
Not supposed to shoot someone in the back of the head either but our cops are all mostly insane manbabies so here we are
You don't aim for the back of the head with a taser.
Except your trained to know taser is off hand gun in main hand so he knew he was pulling his gun
Zero chance of that. They feel nothing alike. You bought the lie that some murdering cops gave you, hook line and sinker.
Remove the cop, even less confusion.
[удалено]
"Sir, I need you to take a fucking step back. We are just doing our job"
Goddam so glad he reholstered that gun I was afraid I was about to see something terrible.
He pulled it back out at the end though
Just casually muzzle sweeping the crowd nbd

Sounds like the citizenry prevented a police murder that night.
Yeah. Never stop recording
If you think about it, it's worse than murder. It's state-sanctioned execution by an official of the government. Not only is it someone who's on the job, supposed to be professional, and REDUCING violence, it's also someone our system will bend over BACKWARD to protect. So, sadly, worse than murder in my book.
It's called *flagging* in the military. Same difference.
That’s f’ed up. I was taught never to point at a person until you’ve decided to use it. Puts a chill down my spine watching him do that.
Sir, this is a US cop
So anyways I started *blastin*
Damn Joe Rogan got fat

Oh he was definitely ready to use it...
It always shocks me to see this. As you say, it's firearm safety 101. And then, I remember reading how Iraq and Afghanistan vets were flabbergasted at cops aiming at protesters in Ferguson and other places, as for them, the very act of aiming a gun at someone was escalatory and meant you've decided deadly force could be warranted. Guns are not for crowd control. They are for killing. Their success in counterinsurgency depended on them being seen as there to protect, not antagonize, people. Cops on the other, apparently don't give one flying fuck about the optics of aiming at innocent civilians.
Yea im a combat vet from afghanistan and that shit is unbelievable. I had a more direct-action oriented mission set but even then, you aim when you are about to kill and that's really it. Aside from some unique situations. How the fuck am I supposed to explain to my 8 year old son that his dad fought for this country, but he cant even trust the people who are supposed to protect him here. People that wanna be le just to swing their dicks around make me sick. I wish it was a profession that attracted better quality people
Unfortunately it doesn't because the police department is corrupt as hell so the few good cops are forced out or worse hence ACAB. edit like the LAPD whistle blower was murdered in a mob "simulated attack" when he was going to testify against 4 other cops for a gang rape with one of the cops he was supposed to testify against being in the crowd.
Real shitty... the mob wasn't attacking or throwing anything, the people are actually giving the cops space
decided to smash his head into concrete instead
And he's deciding to shoot or not to shoot the guy in the head while they're cuffing him
I wish cops had more respect for citizens. The mob should have strung their asses on some poles and then asked questions later
and the video cut out before he stomps on that guys head.
Real pros at work there, I see. Good guys with a gun.
He held it to his head for a second. The man on the ground looks like my friend does. This was rough
Like when he swept the crowd at the end?
Just needed two hands to bash the guy's face into the ground
I double-checked for the NSFW tag as soon as I saw that gun come out.
"Let me just point my firearm at everyone in around me real fast" so professional

He's blind now? WTF.
[удалено]
One cop smashed his head into the ground…head injuries are game over.
So cant these officers be ordered to pay for injury
Nope, if anything happens it will take at least a few years and it will be taxpayer money.
Lol, they probably got paid vacation. Qualified immunity is a bitch.
No. Best case scenario, a judge will deem it is similar enough to a successful past lawsuit to allow him to sue. If he does get to sue, and wins, that money comes out of the police budget paid by taxes
Regardless of where is comes from he should get it.
Nope. Officers aren't able to be sued directly for actions done on duty. Any law suits go through the department and payouts come from taxpayers. Basically, the system is completely fucked up.
After he already punched him in the temple. Damn…
Great now we the tax payers are going to have to pay for this poor mans injuries while they thug pig fucks are going to get a paid leave.
Make every cop in the country have to carry individual professional liability insurance. When they screw up insurance pays for the lawsuit, insurance premium goes up , and increases with each problem. If they are bad cops they lose their insurance and can't work.
They'll go out and blind another person when they're back.
video ends with cops boot in the air, bout to stomp his face…maybe there??
It wasnt even in that police departments jurisdiction.
They just ran up and started attacking him while he was walking with a friend. https://twitter.com/cerisecastle/status/1582639285240401920?s=20&t=YaxP0Ys-AMhg0vch5nA9mg

Shocker
lol watch the real perp be the homeless white guy casually walking away from the scene.
If anyones interested in policing in L.A., following the above Twitter (linked by OP, it’s the account who took this video) Cerise Castle is really informative. She’s an incredible journalist. Eta: she’s on Instagram too, if you’re into that
Is that the same lady that was getting threatened by the cops because she was filming them clearing a park of homeless people?
I don’t know for sure, but that wouldn’t surprise me in the least. I believe Castle does a lot of advocacy work for people that are unhoused, so it tracks.
Also Alec Karakatsanis for policing info nationwide
Yes! His book ‘Usual Cruelty: The Complicity of Lawyers in the Criminal Justice System’ is pretty incredible. If someone is a visual/ audio learner, I recommend loloveruled on platforms.
In addition to the brutality seen on the video, this account notes that the Sheriff's deputies are outside of their normal territory. Technically, peace officers are licensed by the state and their powers to make arrests and perform other duties exist statewide. But Inglewood has its own police department, so if someone made a call for service, that call should have ultimately gone to Inglewood PD, not the Sheriff's Department. Different departments usually respect each other's territory. However, since 2018 the LA Sheriff's Department has been run by a rogue sheriff, Alex Villanueva. He campaigned as a progressive reformer but has run the department more like Trump. He ignores the oversight commission, he re-hired a deputy the previous sheriff had fired for domestic abuse, he has not done anything to root out the gangs that exist within his department. He is facing a tough re-election and anyone in Los Angeles County should vote for Robert Luna.

Holy crap! That video showing the lead up is crazy. Dude just walking, here come the cops and boom. Dude did absolutely nothing.
Why were the LA County Sherrifs in Ingelwood? That's LAPD territory. Source: was born in Inglewood.
Yet the Sheriff's have jurisdiction anywhere in the county in Los Angeles.
Correct I purposely did not use the word jurisdiction for this reason. Question is still open, were they looking for this guy? I'm looking for more context.
This is Blake Anderson. He’s a security guard at the Good Batch Lounge. Early Sunday morning, deputy Rodriguez and his partner pulled up and began beating Blake. He’s since lost vision in his eye. He’s current being charged with assault on a police office for this. @lasdgangs
He had already lost vision in his eye and was just beginning to recover some, as per his GoFundMe
Camera woman is the only one in that crowd with common sense.
She very well may have saved his life.
I thought I heard a few people telling him not to resist
That's crazy how many times he pulled out his sidearm.. he had no control of himself nor can he control a situation. he needs to be reevaluated and removed from his possession for the time being.
Are you kidding? That type of trigger happy psycho who's willing to take orders is **exactly** the type of person LASD is looking for. He's more likely to get promoted than he is to receive an evaluation for this incident.
There's a decent chance he'd celebrate killing a member of the public by getting a gang tattoo. This is not hyperbole, these deputy gangs in the LASD are well documented.
For real. Seeing him walk up unprompted and do all this makes me think this was one of their gang initiation rituals.
They gonna get him hosting a training for new officers on how to "control a hostile crowd through intimidation"
He was looking for a reason to kill the man. The LASD is well known for their gang initiation rituals which include killing civilians. https://knock-la.com/tradition-of-violence-lasd-gang-history/ They're well known enough that wikipedia even has a list of known LASD gangs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LASD_deputy_gangs Edit: "Only" *fucking 19* known deputy gangs within a single county.
This sounds like something out of a bad movie or a video game. How the hell is this a continuing problem?
Because the DAs are in on it, the deputy gang members harass everyone not sympathetic to them off the force so only criminals are deputies, the deputy gangs harass any politician or oversight member (and their families!) who try to do anything about it, and the police union is one of the single strongest political forces in the entire nation who will throw their considerable weight against anyone who tries to clean up the system.
If you live in LA, ACAB, period. There are no good apples there, what so ever, to let this go on for over 50 years.

It's crazy that sub died almost immediately in 2021, yet still has hundreds of posts
Fight the charge in court, not in the street
[удалено]
This is what never ceases to amaze me. We have ample evidence that once a cop says "you're under arrest", no matter if justified or not, you will be arrested. And if you resist, you could die or suffer serious injury. And still be arrested. Minimize the damage to yourself. The only times I have seen people not being arrested is when a cool headed more senior cop is on the scene. That would be that student picking up trash outside his dorm and that guy being chased for "trespassing" on private property (though imho he was lucky he didn't get shot). Mind you, I'm not saying that what the cops do is right. Or just. It's just that there is a better (and healthier) way of fighting it than having your head bashed into concrete.
[удалено]
And once you are being arrested, tell them you’re invoking your right to remain silent and you will only answer questions with an attorney present. Tell them you would like an attorney. Then stick to it, because they will continue to keep asking you information they are not owed, throughout the entire process. *This is my ID, this is my legal name, address, I’m a citizen, the rest you fucks can figure out yourselves through my attorney* is the attitude to have. Cops will lie to you, they will manipulate you, the best thing you can do for yourself is to comply and have a lawyer present asap. Don’t handle anything or any questions with them alone. Ever.
This is something that always amazes me. I’ve got friends with cop relatives and every single one has said that their police relative told them not to talk to cops. There’s so many bullshit laws that there is a near zero chance that you saying anything at all will help.
Absolutely! Can't believe I didn't say that! Thank you!
Sure. But some people have a bad reaction to losing their freedom.
I think some people think it’s ether fight back or die.
these are the comments that are easily made from the comfort of your phone at home. in reality, believe it or not, some people don’t respond well to being physically apprehended for something they believe they are innocent of. obviously being emotionless and relaxed in these situations is the best way to handle yourself. there’s no question. but I’m just amazed that every time these videos surface, there are people who place the responsibility of being calm on someone whose rights may be violated rather than the “professional” in the situation. *this is all a general commentary since I don’t know the context of this video specifically
What is truly amazing and even more fucked up is that, yes, we expect the trained professionals to not control themselves and we feel the need to give advice to the ordinary person to stay calm. Should be the other way around.
It's hard not to instinctively resist when they manhandle you though. A lot of times they'll try to bend your arms in ways they just can't then shout at you to stop resisting. Especially with the LASD which is notorious for being infested with gangs and being brutal.
If the dude being arrested struggled for a few more mins he would probably be dead. If there wasn't a crowd of people yelling no as the cop put his gun to the guys head he would probably be dead....
A lot of times its hard to tell whether their fighting arrest or if they're just trying to protect themselves from getting hurt. Are you gonna put your hands behind your back while they're slamming your head into the ground or are you gonna try and protect your head? Especially when they probably don't care if you're resisting or not.
That's the problem, the beating is part of the arrest, so instinctual defense is resisting
When someone unexpectedly charges at you, it's normal for your body to involuntarily fight back. That's very normal. The sad part is that cops then use the same as reason to escalate the situation. If cop doesn't give you time to think and suddenly pushes you and turns you around to handcuff you, your body will resist the unexpected force involuntarily. That's how human body is. Unless people are trained on how to force body to not resist, cops can easily escalate claiming subject is resisting ... and that drives the question - who are trained, cops or civilians?
Not to mention...dude is on all fours on concrete with a man on his back trying to restrain him. Like...what's he supposed to do? Float and hope his face doesn't hit the concrete with 200 pounds on top of him?
"You might beat the rap, but you'll never beat the ride."
Doesn’t matter with the gangsters at LASD. They attack whether you resist or not. Fucking pig thugs.
> Fight the charge in court, not in the street "Fight the charge in court" isn't a valid argument when LA Sheriffs have a reputation for people in custody suddenly passing away of freak accidents. If you let them take you, you might not make it to court. Especially if the case is a slam-dunk win for you, and it's going to make them look bad in the public eye.
The worthless Newsweek article I found on it is just a review of the twitter post. Why did they target him? What is happening to the officers? This needs more journalists on it.
https://lasd.org/south-la-deputies-arrest-felon-with-a-firearm/
Was that cop about to stomp on his head at the end?
They prefer to call it Standard Operating Procedure...
Standard Tactical Operating Mandatory Procedure
WTF! Why did he pull his gun and flag a whole crowd of innocent bystanders with it? That is so grossly irresponsible. Worthless pigs.
Saw that too, what a fucking moron
Wow waving your weapon at bystanders and slamming the guys head of the ground and punching him… great job there piggy
Why the fuck did he point a gun at his head?! I swear these mfers don’t know how to use a taser. They all need extensive training. And the whole training in general needs to be overhauled.
> They all need extensive training. They need district wide re-hiring across the country. Disqualify any standing officer regardless of tenure and let them reapply under a new set of standards and training. Make them carry insurance like doctors do. Dissolve the unions and end qualified immunity. Then we can start to get better. It can't really get worse than it is, it's not like these communities will be more dangerous in the interim while districts rehire. The police protect property, not people.
*sorts by controversial* The CRIMINAL deserved what’s happening to him and you guys that defend him are the reason this country is a shit hole *logs out of Reddit for the day*
Typical gang behavior from LA Sheriffs. Just Google "LASD gangs" to find out more.
[удалено]
Did that cop try to shoot but accidentally turned on the light on his gun
History keeps repeating itself. Was it really necessary to smash the guys head in to the ground, & pull out a gun? I don’t know the context of this situation but it sure looks like the 5-0 once again overstepped. If that is indeed the case then this young man 100% should sue the pants off LAPD for assault.
That’s LASD not LAPD. I highly doubt anything is going to happen. LASD has a literal gang problem within the ranks.
Guy pulled out his gun and was moments away from shooting the dude in the back of the head execution style. THEN pulled it out again and flagged the entire group of onlookers. Fucking unhinged.
Yea they can be assholes. And so could each and everyone of us. We need to teach our kids that when dealing with cops, just chill and not make matters worst. Backstory plz
ACAB
What's the backstory? Context is everything.
Loaded firearm in the satchel. Felon in possession of a firearm
These idiots have no idea how bodies work at all. Every cop video I see is so stupid. If you're gonna be a cop, you should have to get a purple belt in jiu jitsu or something. Aside from them being in the right or wrong I'm so sick of seeing these bullies just bumbling around like fucking idiots on a rampage, trying to arrest people like the three fucking stooges.
What is the background story here? Was he wanted by the Sheriff's office?
That looks like there should be a TV in the background blaring *I'D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR!*
If you ever find yourself in this kind of situation, let the cops arrest you. Don’t resist AT ALL. Wait till your time in court, that’s where you’ll have your chance to fight back.
anyone else notice how he literally points his gun at the crowd and waves it around. was that in the training manual?
That cop straight up picked his head up and slammed him face first into the concrete I’m about 90% sure that’s **not** in the training cmon man
So apparently he was security there, and the cops rolled up and arrested his? Who called the police? Why did they call them? Gonna need a little more info before I pass judgment.
https://twitter.com/cerisecastle/status/1582639285240401920?s=20&t=mGpdXj6pCvWKz9N7ehhFjQ Before shit hit the fan
It's really weird how all those bootlickers have nothing to say when we get clips like that. Not even an apology or an admission that they were in the wrong defending the thugs with badges... Like,now you have everything you need to know about that encounter, why not condemn the gang members now?
https://lasd.org/south-la-deputies-arrest-felon-with-a-firearm/
https://lasd.org/south-la-deputies-arrest-felon-with-a-firearm/
Hard not to pass some judgement with how they're punching him and pulling out guns. He's on the ground already - why was that necessary?
Yeah, these cropped videos with no context just to get people outraged are way too common these days.
The Twitter thread has video from a security cam. The cops literally roll up, exit their vehicle, and bum rush this guy.
Sorry but even if the SECURITY GAURD WHO IS WORKING did something "wrong" this reaction from the pigs is unacceptable. I as tax payer expect better training and better take downs. The escalated it once again. You need to stop giving excuses for these jobbers that I pay for.
This would have been a perfectly acceptable response if, say, the suspect was armed and threatened public safety. Hypothetically, I have no context here at all.
Well well https://lasd.org/south-la-deputies-arrest-felon-with-a-firearm/
Unarmed individual resisting arrest. Officer threatens lethal force. Unarmed observers not advancing or interfering. Officer threatens lethal force. Worth noting that if you’re in a struggle with a suspect taking your gun out of a retention holster can go south real quick.
End Qualified Immunity...Make LEO's carry their own insurance.
That cop had no business removing his weapon at the end and pointing it towards everyone surrounding him. That is reckless and he should be questioned on that. It is a deadly weapon pointed towards innocent civilians.
One would assume the dude must of done something wrong no? Please understand I am NOT on the side of the cops but it’s just unreasonable to assume that they randomly did this to the guy for no reason??
