Something has to change, and soon
After leading authorities on a nearly three-hour pursuit by car and horseback, Francis Pusok was lying face down in the dirt with his hands clasped behind his back as San Bernardino County Sheriff's deputies moved in.Then the "feeding frenzy" began, as one police tactics expert put it. |
"It is difficult to manage your adrenaline," San Bernardino Sheriff-Coroner John McMahon said Friday at a news conference in which he announced that the 10 deputies involved had been put on administrative leave. "It is very difficult at times to control your emotions, control your adrenaline, but that's not an excuse for what occurred yesterday." |
Ed Obayashi, an Inyo County sheriff's deputy and police use-of-force expert, described the Apple Valley incident as "a case of contagious force." "One deputy does it so another deputy does the same.... You have multiple continuous blows here," he said. "During any pursuit, everyone experiences an adrenaline rush. But peace officers are trained to control themselves. You've got to keep your mind on the job and use your training and experience." |
Or were they, and they chose to ignore the training? The "us vs. them" mentality of the police needs to go away, and the bullies, thugs, and mentally unstable police need to be weeded out, pronto.
The first officer on the scene may or may not have had reason to use force to subdue the arrestee. Maybe even the second one. I've seen how people on various hallucinogenic drugs can react.
But every officer after the first one or two that arrived needs to be fired and prosecuted for assault with a deadly weapon and put in prison.
