Four members of the Glendale Police Department in Los Angeles have been placed on administrative leave after a cop was caught on camera kicking a shoplifting suspect in the face as his colleagues tried to subdue the man with a flurry of their own punches.
The incident took place June 5, according to Glendale police, but the brutal arrest, captured on bystander video, was shared with local CBS affiliate KCAL9 on Tuesday. The nearly minute-long video shows a man on the ground at a Dick’s Sporting Goods at the Glendale Galleria Shopping Mall being pummeled in the face by two plainclothes officers assigned to patrol the mall, one of whom sat on top of him, as another plainclothes officer held down his legs.
WHY the force!!! Again and again officers demonstrate that they treat other with no respect and don’t thin twice when treating them inhumanly. #policebrutality
"administrative leave" is about all the reprimand cops get nowadays
