An excessive force investigation is underway today after a confrontation between Long Beach, California police officers and a man was caught on tape. The man is down but the officers continue to tase him, while the woman taping the incident is heard saying, “I’m shaking, I’m so scared.” The woman noted that the officers knocked the man’s teeth out.
Police officers should not be the ones freaking the community out, but that’s just me.
According to CBS, Prior to the alleged beating, security camera footage shows the suspect fighting another man and refusing to comply with officers’ demands. ”During this time when he kicked one of the officers, he kicked the baton out of their hand. When they went to try and go grab a hold of him again, he again kicked one of the officers in the head,” Sgt. Aaron Eaton said. “Eventually, at some point, the officers were able to grab a hold of him and try to get him to roll over. He was still refusing commands.”
Police also say that the suspect was under the influence of alcohol and may have been on meth.
But, I truly wonder why the beating went on for so long. Unless, the officers do not comprehend drug addiction and it’s cool to just beat the fuck out of people. This raises the question that, although the man allegedly did not comply with the officers, when a man is down, why is it permissible for officers continue to beat and tase him?
Watch:
None of the officers involved in the incident have been placed on leave, but authorities are encouraging additional witnesses to come forward to help with their investigation.
