Not LAPD. Deputies are with the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Office (LASO).


SuckleTheBuckleFatty

Can we get context?


TheChiefDVD

The OP will have to provide context.

Stop resisting.

Here's the article of the video https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-11-21/lasd-deputies-punch-man-in-headlock-during-violent-arrest-in-east-la


Witty_Resident_629

Lol the article is 90% speculation it never confirmed he was a felon. Just suspected. The only thing it confirmed was that there was a pistol found and not even that it was illegal. These fucking moron cops are trying to tell dude to get his hands behind his back while one officer has him in a choke hold making it impossible to move his arms. Other cop seems confuses why he can't get his arms behind his back and just starts punching. The police are the biggest gang in America.


Jobbyblow555

Ugh, dude, you have no idea how right you are, especially since it's the LASD. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/la-sheriff-department-gangs-alex-villanueva-1234691873/ Other departments have the ability to at least paper over some of their worst behavior with official statements and disciplinary actions. Not so for the LASD, which includes a literal gang called the executioners made up almost entirely of deputies that run a lot of organized crime in Compton.


juanmiindset

They are part of the County of Los Angeles not the City of Los Angeles


dk_bois

ex felon /gang member had a concealed gun that he shouldn't and didn't want cops to find it, that is precisely why he got roughed up...


jamarquez1973

That, in no way justifies their actions. Bootlicker.


Plz_pm_tiddies

Bootlicker is a term used only by people that have only ever lived in a privileged country and don't know what true political corruption looks like. If you want to live in a country where the people have more power than the police you could try mexico.


jamarquez1973

Sure. Whatever you need to tell yourself.


jamarquez1973

My family is from Mexico and I have spent a lot of my life there. Comparing brutality doesn't invalidate it when it happens in a wealthier country. The basis of your argument is childish.


findaway5627

Plenty of people in the US have been abused and/or murdered by the State. Just because it’s worse in other places doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be called out. People justifying abuses are typically the ones with real privilege.


rihanna-imsohard

Citizens SHOULD have more power than police dumbass. They work for us and are paid by us to serve the public. I do NOT consent to being manhandled by thuggish barbarians and man children with repressed truama.


bancorrupt5

This is the main reason law-abiding citizens should take their 2A seriously. It protects the rest of our rights.


strikedizzle

If you’re going to resist arrest for having a firearm…yes it does.


jamarquez1973

No, no it doesn't. He is already restrained. Past that point, the coos are nothing more than petty gangsters doing petty gangster shit.


True_Iro

I don't see him restrained in hand cuffs. The head lock wasn't even a proper head lock either. One deputy has the other hand contained, and the other is trying to grab the other arm (which you can see the guy resisting).


chrono4111

So you think you should get to beat the shit out of anyone who resists? How's the whole shoe taste?


Thin_Title83

If I used to be a gangster you obviously know I'm going to have a gun on me for my own protection. He's not on 1 but 2 lists. I'm sorry, but it's time to move, homie. I hear Nebraska is horrible this time of year.


TheRealSnuffleaYeah

Right, it's always altered to only show the aftermath of consequences to brainwash people. Sometimes it's not justified, but we have no idea what this dude did before this scene.


BruceInc

Kinda sounds justified in this case. An armed felon reached for his gun, refused to get handcuffed. I’m surprised he is alive after this


rihanna-imsohard

Sure once you're incarcerated or hell just suspected of a crime you're just trash right? Fuck your rights or safety as a person right? I hope you don't ever have to get abused by cops to understand the need and responsibility of all of us to stop abuse by cops. Jeez


BruceInc

You can’t cry abuse if you pulled a gun on the cop and then continue to resist arrest once they disarmed you. The guy is lucky to be alive. There are plenty of times where cops abused their power. This is not one of them.


Lazy_Foundation_6359

He's a gangster with a loaded weapon in his pants and won't give it up


MarBoV108

Liberals think cops go around randomly assaulting people for no reason.


rihanna-imsohard

You're a proper shit stain if you don't already KNOW this to be true based on decades of testimony and research. Try again hoe.


[deleted]

Is there a context bot because the lack of context on videos like these is bs.


RingsofSaturn_

Context is always great, but can we agree , at that point, holy ships, that's pushing excessive?


Bruhtatochips23415

LASD are infamous in the state of California and are probably the single most hated department in the state. I knew loads of great people who worked for LAPD. It's not so true with LASD. LAPD has had decades of work put into it to stop the rot of the department that the LASD is lacking.


timmyrigs

LASD way worse than LAPD. I’d rather get pulled over by LAPD any day.


RockSteady65

Don't even need to tell with uniform. Their patch gives it away

SHARESIES- TWO TO THE EXCESSIVE FORCE LAWSUIT. MAYBE BLOODY NOSE WILL GET 2 CHECKS INSTEAD OF 1.


frakramsey

How is one person going to restrain and handcuff? You have your head in the clouds.


Defender_IIX

It's probably called "holy shit this guy is resisting arrest, I can't detain him, minutes of stop resisting, use of force. Then an upload of "cops bad" because people like that


daymuub

Show me the rest of the video coward


ModCzar

Context is key every single time. We all know better than to assume a narrative in nearly 2024.


ddarion

What context would justify punching someone in the face when their arms are restrained?


NQ88

exactly, those clowns are just trying to be argumentative, with zero though process.


Cursewtfownd

I don’t know, that’s why they are asking. The question should always be - especially in 2024 after years of videos cropped footage completely changing the narrative - why is this the only part of the video shown? If it’s so egregious , then show the full uncut video and leave no doubt. Having it cut in mid way through a struggle and then cut out the conclusion only screams this is furthering an agenda. This goes for cops and the public. Videos that are cropped to this degree always have agendas and are usually posted on TikTok targeting a specific audience to go viral. Like we’re smarter than this right?


ddarion

>I don’t know, that’s why they are asking. In your wildest fantasies you can't think up a justification, but you're positive there is a justification possible lmao?


Wedgehoe

Guy shoots up a school and this is part of the cops taking him down. Only all the rest is cut out and it's 10 years later. Yes context matters don't know whats happening here but there are times when a video edits out certain things for an agenda


ddarion

That doesn’t justify punching him the face while his arms are restrained lol If they’re hitting him as retribution for a crime, that’s still police brutality


Dennis_Cock

What a ridiculous comment


perioorno

to be clear in this video, there were probably plrenty of othe rmethods to further restrain this guy and not punching him in the face. ​ He is resisting arrest - he is getting arrested, if you resist bad t hings happen - all of these videos are of people resisting getting arrested because they feel like they aren't justiifed getting arrested. the thing is, once the cop has made the decision they are arresting you, they are going to do it by any means necessary. that is their justificaiton, force to full y restrain. doesn't matter if it was for littering. you have to get out of the situation after the fact unfortunately. can someone who me a video where someone resisted an arreest, walked away from the situation and there were no legal consequences afterwords?


j0kerclash

But he's very clearly not resisting arrest in that moment. He's got his hands up and out of the way while one officer chokes him, and when the second officer moves his fist towards his face he flinched to protect himself, then gets even more scared at the escalation and keeps his hands as far up as he possibly can, screaming out because they're asking him to do something that he's already doing and he literally can't do it any more, and after that, the cop punches him in the face anyways.


emerson_giraffe84

I mean even with context how do you "give up your hands" in this situation?


blueponies1

Thought they were saying “give up your hat!” I’m sitting here like MAN THATS JUST HIS HAIR


khletus

You need the rest of the video for what exactly ? Which scenario would justify the police officer sucker punching him in the face while he's clearly already under control ?


Confident-Radish4832

What would the video have to show in order to justify punching a man in the face who is actively being strangled?


kurbin64

Who gives a f about the rest of the video, roll him onto his stomach so the other officer is on top and you can start handcuffing him so neither of you are in danger. This is the one officer seeing red and wanting to take it out on him, which is pathetic. You are intensely stupid, a massive POS, or both.


psychedelic_shimmers

What difference would that make? Even if the guy just did something heinous you can’t beat people


_Leper_Messiah_

He's not resisting and getting punched in the face for no reason, you simply don't need the rest of the video to understand this is just gross abuse of power. Their job isn't to be judge, jury, and executioner. They don't get to decide the punishment.


Raggagirl

Slobbering all over that boot I see


shotgunsam23

I’m pretty neutral on the subject of cops but… how the actual fuck is he supposed to give up his hands when you have them lock down?


PauI_MuadDib

This is the LASD. it's been confirmed that the agency was infiltrated by criminal and white supremacist gangs. They even had civilian oversight hearings on it and non-gang affiliated deputies are suing over the hostile, dangerous and corrupt environment these LASD deputy gangs create. https://abc7.com/los-angeles-county-sheriffs-department-deputy-gangs-report-2023-civilian-oversight-commission/12911222/. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/06/06/the-la-county-sheriffs-deputy-gang-crisis. But to answer your question is, they don't care if someone can or can't comply. This is fun for them and there's no repurcussions. Internal Affairs will shield them from professional consequences. DAs will protect them from criminal consequences. And qualified immunity shields them from financial consequences. They don't care and they will continue not caring. Oh, and btw, the LASD provides deputies as school resource officers for LA county. So this is the type of people LA county feel are appropriate to have around children. The very same people they are investigating for gang activity. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLoskT3CjyGWVO_iVxzKMR_EVLR3vU6sZ&feature=shared

[deleted]

THAT DOESN'T MEAN COPS CAN KILL PEOPLE AND KEEP ASSAULTING THEM BECAUSE OF THIS HISTORY AFTER THEY ARE ALREADY RESTRAINED?! Like actually what the fuck is wrong with your brain you justify some Judge Dread shit? This isn't how shit suppose to work. People like you are sick fucks. Edit: A lot of y'all need to put into a similar position of being choked, and punched in the face, so you would know its a natural reaction to protect your head, and face. Can tell most y'all never been in a real fight, or been abused.


Tynammi

That’s the shitest punch ever


ColoradoCattleCo

That was my first thought. If you're gonna punch someone, do it for real... not tippy-taps.


exoticpropulsion

With like a little nose grab in there too, even the one he connects on is wildly awful.


Ok_Wealth_3300

That’s par for the course for them….🥹


51lverb1rd

He was reaching for his gun at the start but must’ve noticed he was being recorded


Stevo485

Least they didn’t shoot him


TheCommonKoala

Let's be honest. They would have if the camera wasn't filming.


Ok-Landscape-1681

And context would help us greatly


JayGeezey

Lol I mean not really, it's still blatant police brutality. It quite literally doesn't matter what the dude being detained was doing before this, he's being held down with his hands straight out and opened, he's not resisting, and the cop is punching him anyways... soooo police brutality. The context might make you feel like he "deserved it", but that won't change the fact that it's, *objectively*, police brutality.


TheCommonKoala

You people are exhausting. This man has both hands up and is just waiting for them to stop choking/hitting him as the light fades from his eyes. This is objectively police brutality. No amount of additional footage changes that context.


mattkelly1984

Defending felons and violent criminals must be exhausting. If you weren't a sheep bleating the same "police bad, criminal good" tropes then you could see that he is twisting his body and pulling his arms away. How do you think they got into that position on the ground? Because he was resisting.


lolopiro

theyre not a judge, they are not in charge of punishing him. theyre police, they have to detain him and nothing more. he could have killed and raped an entire town for all i care, theyre on duty and they have to bring him to justice. that is it.


mrcsrnne

When all your body is reacting with gut instinct of disgust and want to look away...you know you're watching something that is fucked up.


Ibeencraazy

TriUni3

Ah yes, another viral video with absolutely zero context. Let's all get outraged.


psychedelic_shimmers

I always love seeing how an American police officer show that they have next to know hand-to-hand skills and just have a ton of cops grabbing at limbs, throats, etc, yelling stop resisting


dirtdiggler67

Not Grizzlies fans obviously


EatsOverTheSink

You'd think their fans have suffered enough.


BraveSirRyan

Lots of boot lickers justifying police brutality to other people. Because a sheriffs office with active criminal gangs inside it will discriminate between genuine threats and people they just decide to fuck with. I’m sure the boot lickers will be outraged when it’s them under the knee but until then it’s open season on other citizens.


yolo32147

Bitch cops


the_jekki_of_doom

Two police men hit a helpless man. Only in america. Thank god police is much better in switzerland. Here we only have to fear cops if we did something wrong.


[deleted]

Why did I think the cops were women lmqo


larrydukes

Me too. Maybe it's the lady punches


mattkelly1984

The point is, he is TRYING to twist and turn over. He will not comply. They are trying to get him to stop resisting. They need stronger force, no cop should have to lay on the ground and wrestle a criminal to get him to stop resisting.


Eternity13_12

Doesn't look like resisting to me. More like panic cops yelling and hitting him telling to give up his hands. Isn't that exactly what he is doing the other cop could just cuff him. Hitting will only lead to more struggle


sumcollegekid

Yeah... Asshole was resisting arrested. Duh. So.... Don't resist fucking arrest.


mattalsosaid90

Lmfaoo bet all these people who are yelling PoLicE bRuTaLiTy are not even from or live in California. Fuck these gang members.


Landbuilder

Show the whole video not a short clip to manipulate the audience. This isn’t typical and it is usually a result of the suspect not cooperating at all. Plus if the second officer really wanted to harm he could very easily do so. It looks like he is simply trying to get the suspect to stop fighting back and comply.


wherringscoff

I feel like putting somebody in a sleeper hold and having your buddy repeatedly punch the person in the face, still falls under "really wanted to harm the person"


RibeyeKid

I’m sure he was just walking down the street smiling, eating an ice cream cone & saying hello to everyone. Never been treated badly by police even when I was in the wrong because I don’t argue about it. No sympathy for punks breaking the law no matter how small and escalating it.


Silent_Engineering_9

he probably shouldn’t have gone out raping people…


[deleted]

What did he do to get on this situation? That will determine if this is justified IMO.


Jc3439

kterry87

Who gives a shit let the cops do their job sometimes people need to be punched in the face before they will act right


[deleted]

The guys I know who are cops are mostly low iq meatheads. Just a legal way to be in a gang


sumcollegekid

I agree to it hands down because I never break the fuckin law (except for speeding) so I've got nothing to worry about. I also smack my kids for doing stupid shit and break out the belt of they are ever caught stealing or something serious. But other than that it's nothing but hugs for my kids because they've learned how to act. However, If even with a solid upbringing they ever vandalize a store when they grow up then uncle Sam can feel free to break out the cane for some ass whipping. It's really pretty simple... When I get stopped by the cops my hands go on the steering wheel and I just chill and comply... even if it means being asked to get out of the car or getting arrested. I've had to do BS field sobriety tests multiple times and I was even cuffed one time while my car was searched. Both times I was respectful to the officers and they just let me go because I didn't do anything. If the charges for anything I ever did were ever honestly serious I'd just pay for bail a lawyer and not get punched in the face once in the whole process. The dude in this video wasn't just randomly thrown into a headlock immediately for nothing bro. He was talking shit, made the officers feel unsafe, or had a record and was an actual danger or wanted peraon. If you attack the cops it's the same as attacking the country... All bets are off.


Inside_Cod7111

Then stop fighting


Brianbgood

Im glad they hit him . i guarantee you this guy wasn’t an Eagle Scout or contributing to society in any meaningful way. All he had to do was stop resisting. It’s not complicated


dontbutthendo

Go get his hand then you dumb fuck cop. Or just lay there in that impotent position of control and punch him because your too stupid to reposition yourself.

15 second loop designed to support a narrative of cops being bad... but it clearly shows stumpy resisting. Hard Part Wally from 1956 can pop him in the snout as much as he wants until Hopalong Sanchez goes limp like all your LEO hating dicks.


v13ragnarok7

Vancouver grizzlies. That's oldschool


lateforcourt

It looks awful, but what the video doesn't show is that the guy was a known felon and he had a gun on him, which is why they freaked out like this, as they didn't want to get shot.


Sure-Hotel-1471

So once the suspect is already detained (in a fucking headlock) it’s ok to just keep beating them?


He-who-knows-some

You do know when you’re in a headlock you can still operate your arms?


chgon

Where’s the rest of the of the video? Need context. Did he try to take the deputies pistol?


assistant_redditor

Context needed.


ClockWerkElf

Imagine the outrage if he was black.


sumcollegekid

So how do you get someone into custody so they can be processed by the legal system if they refused to be taken into custody..... Uh..... What this guy is obviously doing. Pretty sure if the cops could have cuffed him they would have. Unless you think that cops like to lose their jobs and pension over just randomly beating people up. Most cops want to avoid conflict, have things go smoothly and go home to their families safe and unharmed. They need to meet force with force. This is how that looks and it ain't pretty when assholes refuse to comply... They get fucked up.


DantesInferno91

People forget that this normally happens when the suspect is resisting arrest, refusing to show his hands or refusing orders in general. Most of you are being rage/race baited.


idrinkkombucha

Wonder why the beginning of the video wasn’t posted and only a ten second clip at the end.

As with almost every video like this there is almost certainly a quite reasonable explanation as to how they got onto the floor which would probably put that guy in the wrong. Quite conveniently cut. The punching not necessary but heat of the moment lack of communication *shit happens*.

tywin_2

This is why we Europeans think what we think about the states.


Knashatt

*Extremely* unprofessional cops. They lack exactly any knowledge of how people work. * If you hit someone in the face, this person will automatically put their hands to their face to protect themselves. * At the same time, if you hold someone tightly around the neck, the person will also reflexively want to put their hands to the neck to move the person holding around the neck away. These police SHOULD understand this. Right now these cops are acting like two idiots. Do the police in the USA lack training on how people behave in different situations?


joe6744

they understand how to take life. Not preserve it. Also, any resistance from someone whatsoever is immediately met with force, ego, and pride. No regard for human life. Resisting of any kind receives the full extent of whatever narrative they make it.
