Before this video was released the officers were only written up and reprimanded.

After the video was released thru FOIA the officers have been charged with battery

No charges were filed against the two officers punching the handcuffed man in this video until 11 months after the incident AND only after our local reporting network partners @SBTribune requested the video. https://t.co/PU0nAe3SJr pic.twitter.com/ALui0T5XVz

Anyone who doesn't think the police force in the US doesn't need to be massively retrained towards a more healthy attitude towards citizens hasn't heard or seen enough sh^t like this & worse sh^t that police do daily in America. Cops are a legal gang basically.

There you go that's the truth

Cops think they can get away with anything they want because the law itself lets them

Did he spit on the cop?

Gotta expect getting tuned up for that.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

fuck being charged and then a year or few down the road they get a slap on the wrist once the media has moved on, throw the book at them. They grossly abused their powers, assaulted a helpless, defenseless man and above that and perhaps the worst thing they have done is contribute to the mistrust in police officer across the nation. We have police officers murdering innocent people, have police officers raping people, we have police officers molesting kids, we have police officers framing innocent people, we have police officers committing hate crimes and worse of all is the caviler attitude their peers have on the matter willinly to look the other way from crimes being committed by their friends you know who do that too GANG BANGERS. You lead by example so if those in charge with upholding the law break the law what example does that set for the rest of society.

Looks like that dude was mouthing off at the officers. Cops are out of line in many cases but at the same time, these idiots ask for it.

What about not running away when confronted by an officer? How about following simple directions?

Naw i dont have sympathy for stupidity.

I think so, it’s common sense. You cant spit at a cop and not expect retaliation.

Cops are just like everyone else.

Dumb, smart, hothead, calm, clean, dirty.....

You spit on a cop it's like spitting on a random stranger on the street.

Some will yell at you, some will try to talk to you but some will just start swinging at you.

Well take the cuffs off him and go in a cell with him for a fair one. I don't have a problem with that.
