Has anyone heard anything about this? Apparently an unarmed homeless man with schizophrenia was tasered and beaten to death by three cops in California. Despite video evidence from a bus station camera, everyone was acquitted. Witnesses/video say the man was apologizing and calling out for his dad throughout the beating. I haven't watched this yet, but it is supposedly the video.

There are some pretty graphic pictures out there and a lot of protesters have come out in an attempt to take the case to a higher court.

Interesting to follow, though.

Cops ganging up is never a good thing. I could never understand this mentality that six cops is required to get someone hand behind their back. This just seem to be a cluster fuck of failure. Thousand pounds of mass holding someone down, multi grabbing at the individual arms and legs and this person is ask to preform a task to put his arms behind his back and stop protecting is face and other blows to the body.... That doesn't make any senses

Cop ganging up needs to stop. If two cops cant cuff one individual that been taser they need more training.

Tough to get a conviction when you have 6 cops covering for each other. FBI is investigating, though.

its a lot harder than you think, especially when someone is intoxicated or has mental problems like him. they don't feel pain the same way or think clearly.

I witnessed some police brutality a few weeks ago.

at my buddies apartment and we hear sirens so we walk outside. Then about a minute later we see a car pull in with the cop behind him. Cop comes up to the window and all of a sudden we see the cop just starting beating the shit out of the guy. After a couple minutes we hear the cop yelling at they guy why did you pull a knife on me. Eventually the cop got the guy restrained and a paddy wagon showed up. We saw them throw him in and then basically a couple cops still punching the guy. If you pull a knife though you should probably learn a lesson like that.
