Quote:
The San Bernardino County, California, Sheriff's Office opened two investigations Thursday only hours after an NBC Los Angeles helicopter recorded deputies using a stun gun on a man on a stolen horse and then beating him repeatedly.
In the video, a sheriff's helicopter can be seen landing next to the man, who falls off the horse and is stunned by one of the deputies. Two deputies begin punching him in the head and kneeing him in the groin. Then, three others arrive and join in the pummeling, which lasts about two minutes.
The sheriff's office identified the man in a statement as Francis Jared Pusok, 30, of Apple Valley. It said Pusok was being treated at a hospital for undisclosed injuries.
The sheriff's office said deputies were serving a search warrant in connection with an identity theft investigation about 12:12 p.m. (3:12 p.m. ET) when Pusok fled in a vehicle. At some point, he stole a horse from a group of people in San Bernardino National Park and rode off through dirt trails into steep, rugged terrain, the statement said.

Wow just watched it. They literally beat him for 2 mintues. More and more keystone (bleep) jumped on board. Unreal.
Although I suppose he shouldn't have been resisting arrest while laying face down, spread eagled in a posture of surrender. That'll get you beat every time laying prone on the ground like that.

Grew up in the high desert, went to high school at a charter school in Apple Valley.

Strange how their microphones didn't work.
I'm sure the guy cracked his door open to say, "I'm gonna kill you!" when he had no weapon.
These police cover-up stories are getting lazier and lazier. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”
What the (bleep)? Throw these criminals in prison where they belong. _________________ A banana is killed every time a terrible thread or post is made. Save the bananas. Stop creating terrible posts!

A Southern California sheriff placed 10 deputies on paid administrative leave Friday after a TV station recorded several of them kicking and punching a man following a 2½-hour chase during which the suspect rode away on a stolen horse.
San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon said the video "disturbed and troubled" him and appeared to show an excessive use of force.
