Cop Caught on tape beating a man

San Bernardino police department are under investigation due to a video of a police officer beating a man. Darren Johnson was pulled over after he had commented several traffic violations. The 43 year old man that gotten upset after being stopped. The officer pulled the man out of the car and to the ground. One officer healed Johnson down as the other officer beat him with a baton. One bystander started filming the incident as others were shouting out stop and that is enough.

Cops have to much power. Cops do what ever they want and I think someone needs to put a stop to it. What ever happened to protect and serve. Cops take it to far some times, but what can we do about it. If you try to fight back you are just going to get in more trouble. I am not saying that all cops are bad, but there are a lot out there. I think that cops let all that power go to there head and some use it in the wrong way.

I mean come on maybe Johnson did started it but there was no need for a beat down. The man was on the grown being held down by one officer why did the other cop need to beat him. One blogger made a comment about don't judge the cops until you have walked in his shoes. I don't need to walk in his shoes to know that what I saw was wrong. There job is to arrest bad people not to be judge and jury.

Anyway I just think that the police need to be policed a little better.

  1. I watched the vidio. It would have been nice to seen the entire incident. From what I did see it appeared that Mr. Johnson was still moving around a lot doing something. I think you are correct when you say that police need to police themself.
