Horse Pursuit Police Beating Video: Group of Officers Beat Suspect (1 Viewer)

California sheriff investigates disturbing video of suspect being beaten

The San Bernardino County, California, Sheriffs 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 sheriffs 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 sheriffs 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 sheriffs 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.

About two hours after the chase started, three deputies landed in a sheriffs helicopter, spooking the horse, which threw Pusok off, according to the statement. A Taser was deployed but was ineffective due to his loose clothing, it said. A use of force occurred during the arrest.

Cynthia Bachman, a spokeswoman for the sheriffs department, said that two deputies were being treated for dehydration and that a third was injured. That deputy was kicked by the horse, which was also injured during the pursuit, the sheriffs statement said.

The video surrounding this incident is disturbing and I have ordered an internal investigation be conducted immediately, Sheriff John McMahon said. He said a special detail was also conducting a criminal investigation.

Sorry, you just made these guys chase you around for 2 hours in a desert you deserve it, even if he did give up.

No. That's the reason we have police and not vigilantes. So they don't lynch a guy when they catch up to him.

Sorry, that isnt how the law works. I understand your sentiments, but that doesnt make it right.

As I always say, don't be a criminal or have a criminal background and your chances of being beat/killed by a cop diminishes to near zero.:stopbreakinthelaw#######!!!:

Cops hate having to exert themselves. Judging by the size of some of those guys, I'm sure there was a lot of huffing and puffing going on.

They really missed a chance to grab their own horses and form a posse.

Another thing is that at the beginning of the video the helicopter newswoman says something about two officers down. If the guy took out two officers and then led the other officers on a chase through the desert then, yeah, obviously the officers' emotion will be running high.

They were down because they were exhausted apparently.

Oh, then #### these officers.
 
As I said in the other thread, police conduct in general is the real issue which needs addressed. Police have to learn that this type of behavior is just not acceptable and there needs to be serious consequences when the line is crossed.

When he was originally caught he could have given up.but noooo. He has to go on this run. Engandering lives of other people not just officers. Stealing a horse not to mention the identity of someone else.

and I'm supposed to feel sorry for this ####### becuase he was given the business? Nope

this wasn't some traffic stop like Rodney King

Ummh, you are aware that Rodney King also led the police on a chase and it wasn't just a traffic stop, right?

She's talking about the guy that stumbled and fell while chasing the guy just as he falls off the horse.

They didn't notice the news chopper right above them, which is odd.

 
Whatver. I'm the problem. This law abiding citizen is what's wrong with the world today.

guess what, I won't run or ever do anything to put people in that position.

oh but that criminal has rights too.

maybe that guy is the problem.

Were the police officers abiding by the law?

yeah ok.

No one is asking you to feel sorry for the victim. But I suspect you're not also suggesting that law enforcement should get a pass on their own criminal behavior simply because the victim is unsympathetic.

When did beating become part of the arrest process? Seems like it would be part of the punishment process? Of which the police are not supposed to administer.

Believe me, I feel almost the same way you do. That being said, cops cant go around beating asses because they are mad. Thunk about all the times you've been pissed off at work. Even if someone deserved it, did you and a couple of guys from accounting beat their asses?

 
I give them a pass on some beat downs.

I know it's not a popular opinion and I don't care. My bar/tolerance for a criminal getting a beat down is higher or lower than most ....

*do I think there are dirty scumbag racist cops. I sure do.

And they should be dealt with. Just like that ####### cop that just shot that guy 8 times. He should fry

Right,

I "get" the thought process of the perp deserving an ### whooping but cops go around doing this to everyone and one day they may feel so invincible they may shoot a guy in the back 5 times and drop a taser by their side as they lay there dead trying to frame a dude.

God help us all if that starts happening...
