Watch this LAPD officer wind up and throw a punch at a person on a stretcher being put into an ambulance. This is the kind of culture that exists within @LAPDHQ. Disgusting.

LAPD officer under investigation for alleged excessive use of force with carjacking suspect in San Fernando

The Los Angeles Police Department has suspended an officer after a video clip showed him allegedly striking a stolen vehicle suspect, according to an LAPD press release.

The officer is accused of hitting one of two suspects in an alleged carjacking of a gray Honda CR-V that began in the Mission area of the San Fernando Valley on Saturday. The chase ended after the SUV crashed in the city of San Fernando.

After the suspects were taken into custody, video captured by a community member showed what appeared to be the officer punching one of the detainees after the suspect, who was strapped into a gurney for medical transport, taunted and spit at the police officers.

After the alleged assault, other officers can be heard asking for a spit mask to prevent the suspect from spitting again.

8. I believe the taunting part...

The spitting bit seems like more of a convenient excuse after the fact from watching that video.

6. And it takes his brother cops a full 10 seconds to get him off the person

Very reassuring to us citizens.

14. A few did nothing until the one walked through group to get in front if the "bad" cop. Then the

others move.

7. He should be fired, immediately.

If he can't handle free speech, being called a b*#$%, then he is not suited to protect and serve anyone!

Did you hear the sound effects, that was sickening!

9. assault and battery

11. Cop got lots of support on youtube becsuse suspect was spitting

[Mariana]

12. I notice the other officers didn't arrest him after they witnessed this crime. nt.

13. Teachers put up with worse than that every freakin' day.

Can't deal with a bit of name-calling? GTFO of working in public service, you candy-ass.

[The Magistrate]

15. The Problem, Ma'am, Is Not So Much The Blow

As that he wasn't immediately arrested for felony assault.

There's nothing to investigate here. An obvious crime was committed.

The man who did it should be in custody, and the officers who stood by ought to be suspended without pay while paperwork for firing them is sorted out.
