Video Shows Man Being Attacked By Police After Leaving Atlantic City Casino

[Pooh]

lol. Good for them. Looks like the kid needed a good beating. And he got one. Special shoutout to the K-9 unit. Hopefully this little pecker learned a lesson.

[big dick]

I really wanted to see video of what was happening prior to the beatdown and I found it.

I wonder how many time he said "come at me bro" before the ass beating began. I don't condone a beating that bad, but he should have shut his mouth and walked the fuck away when they gave him the chance. At the end of the day his mouth bought him that beating when a little common sense would have gone a long way.

he deserved a few slaps or w/e but def didn't deserve a beating this bad. He is just some drunk 20 year old kid surely the police should realize this.

[sonatine]

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

[Pooh]

This reminds me a bit of a very ugly incident recently in Fullerton, CA.



A bar in the area called Slide Bar was sick of this one homeless guy named Kelly Thomas. He was hanging around the area of their bar (but not going inside), trying to ask for cigarettes from patrons, and generally being annoying. However, Kelly had never attacked anyone or committed any crime against Slide Bar patrons.

Slide Bar management was sick of him and just wanted to make something up to get rid of him. They fabricated a story that he was "playing with door handles on cars", hoping the police would either take him away or shoo him out of the area.

Two cops showed up. Manuel Ramos and Patrick Cicinelli were first one the scene. It appears from the above video that Thomas was attempting to comply with Ramos' orders, but was confused about the instructions. Ramos eventually became frustrated, put on latex gloves, and said, "See my fists? They're getting ready to fuck you up."

He ended up beating Thomas, and soon after Cicinelli joined in, smacking him with their batons, and then eventually getting on top of him to the point where he couldn't breathe. Four other officers showed up and also joined to various degrees, though they believed they were assisting in a situation where a suspect had been acting dangerously. Only one of those four, Joe Wolfe, was charged.

Thomas ended up dying, and his face was completely mangled by the time it was all over.

Ramos, who was most guilty, is currently being charged with second degree murder. The other two were charged with involuntary manslaughter.

The Fullerton City Council ended up having 3 members recalled over this matter.

Anyway, this was a clear example of obvious police brutality. Kelly Thomas was clearly no model citizen. He had 92 run-ins with police since 1990, including one for assault with a deadly weapon, but he was clearly innocent this time. This incident occurred in July, 2011.

The problem is that police officers are a mixed bag. Some are good, honest people who are doing a very tough, dangerous, and stressful job. It's hard to deal with criminals and psychos every day, knowing that at any moment they can attack and kill you. At the same time, law enforcement often attracts power-hungry bully types, who actually enjoy using their badge to abuse others. Manuel Ramos was definitely the latter, but without videos like these, a lot of times it's impossible to tell.

Druff,

Real heartbreaking story about this sweet fellow, with a mere 92 arrests, getting beaten to death by the blue. If you ask me, the worlds better off.

I am not one to hate the police or vilify them when they show a little more force than necessary in certain dangerous situations.

For example, I hate when police are criticized for shooting a guy who pulls out a knife at them, but hasn't used it to attack them yet. As far as I'm concerned, if you pull out a knife when confronted by police, you deserve to be shot.

However, I don't agree that someone should be beaten to death just because they have a long criminal record, nor should they be attacking someone to this degree just because he shouts at them across the street.

Admittedly there could be somewhat of a valid excuse if they were ordering him on the ground, and instead he was daring them to come get him and refusing to comply. At that point, tackling him and cuffing him is reasonable, but I am still seeing too much of "We're going to attack this guy because we're the police and he's an asshole" going on.

If you support abuse like that, you might find yourself to be a victim one day.

Druff, you saw the whole video, and this clown at best was drunk and disorderly. You keep drunkenly MFing a bunch of cops after I'm sure they told him numerous time to get on his bike, then you get what you get. Once they made the decision to arrest him, he clearly was resisting, or they would have had him secured much earlier. The knees are standard procedure to get a suspect to acquiesce and get his hand behind him. They finally had him secured when Starskey rolled up with the dog.

From the k-9 officer's perspective, he is going to assist officers who are dealing with someone who is resisting. The problem is the cops didnt want to get bit so they pulled their hands away just as they had him sorted.

End result, 200 stitches. Who's at fault? The dumbass IMO.

Do you really think the dog was unleashed because the 5 cops were struggling to "secure" the guy, and they needed help from a dog?

To me, it was a clear case of piling on and causing maximum punishment and pain.
And why did they do it?
Because they could.

Bottom line, there's a ton of cops out there who are bullies who walk around every day feeling above the law.
And they get away with it too often.

I like your style sir

lul

I have been in this spot before... It goes a little something like this...

cop: put your hands behind your back
me: Why, I didn't do anything
cop: GET YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK
me: but sir, I

swift headlock and leg sweep to the ground, followed by the knees and elbows to the face....

me: o-ww
cop: STOP RESISTING
me: im not (and im really not at this point)
cop: elbow elbow kneee, stop fn resisting
me: o.k o.k please stop

sort of how it seems to work

The real world doesn't work like this. Cops don't go around giving beatings for the hell of it. They clearly told this little punk to take a walk and nobody gets hurt. Peckerface then antagonized them for the next 3 minutes, starting as soon as he crossed the street. This called for a lesson and he got it. Saying death is proper punishment may be extreme but less punks like this the better as far as I'm concerned.

I've never had a problem with cops. I was friends with a lot of them back when I lived in Ct. These fuckers put their lives on the line and get paid relative shit plus its a thankless job.

As far as that cumstain with 92 arrests over ten years....I'm sure he's missed by many.

this is exactly what happens when the system works.

This is what this thread reminds me of.

Starting at 1:35 is lol

Sadly, the retards in OC just acquitted these meatheads. Unbelievable.
