i dont usually post police abuse videos.many times the context is missing,othertimes it is unclear.i like a good shock video like anybody else but i realize there are more good cops than bad.
but this video has really shaken me.
and my question is this:where the FUCK are the good cops? are we to believe you are not aware of the sociopaths in your midst?are we to believe that you would CHOOSE to defend these brownshirts and remain silent while they perpetrate violence in this manner?
do you REALIZE the "us vs them" mentality is not to be shouldered by the public alone.
no sir...YOU bear some responsibility as well.
when i was a kid they used to take care of rogue police like this and many times it was other police who joined in.nothing says "get the fuck out of town" like a good public beating.the good cops need to start stepping up and pushing back..this is not going to end well for anybody.

A investigation is underway in Long Beach, California after a violent incident that erupted between Long beach police officers and a man was caught on tape, CBS Los Angeles reported.
The video, posted on YouTube, shows a number of officers surrounding the man on the ground and viciously beating him. The suspect is seen screaming and begging for the officers to stop. One of the officers is seen striking the man with a baton numerous times while the other uses a Taser on him.
The woman recording the video gasps in horror, “They knocked his teeth out. They keep tasering him! They beat the f@*k out of him. Literally I’m shaking, I’m so scared. They keep on tasering him!” she is heard yelling.
According to CBS, prior to the beating, security camera footage showed the man fighting another man and refusing to comply with officer’s demands.
Police claim the man was under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
Authorities are encouraging witnesses to come forward to help with the investigation.
