I try to not post these stories I see often like this, but WT Actual F? This one made me really upset as well. Maybe this is the police brutality that the Harvard study was talking about. This is truly unbelievable, you just have to watch the video.
I see the officer has resigned, but personally, in my opinion I feel that he should be facing jail time, if not prison time, because if I were to walk up to a young black man minding his own business like this and beat him mercilessly for 20 seconds with a baton over his head and body, I'm pretty sure I would be in jail for a very long time, if not prison.
Why on Earth would we allow a person like this to get away with something like this just by resigning, and not putting them through the criminal justice system? And also with video evidence convicting him and actually sending him to jail or prison for the crimes that he committed?
Also notice the government sucking media calls this a takedown instead of what it really is which was a vicious unprovoked beating with a baton.
This is insane. Glad the police dept. released this footage so the officers involved at least are held responsible by the public. How many rights were violated in this video?

Officer Jairus Warren resigned Monday morning and Chief Vera Bumpers said an internal review board validated the excessive force allegations against him and recommended his termination. The investigation has now been handed over to the Harris County District Attorney's Office.
The video, which has no sound, shows Officers J. Warren and D. Reynoso approach Darrell Giles, who is slumped over on a bench on the platform. After a brief encounter, Warren draws his baton and repeatedly strikes Giles.
