Two San Rafael police officers are on leave, even more are under investigation and the city is clamoring for answers after an encounter with police left a man with blood streaming down his face.

The conflict happened while the man, whose name has not been released, was drinking beer with associates in the Canal area. Some initial questioning from police officers quickly turned into a scuffle and handcuffs, according to his attorney and police body cameras.

“He was treated like he didn’t matter as a human being, and he was treated with, really, an absolute contempt for his personhood,” said the attorney, Charles Dresow. He said his client suffered a concussion and broken nose.

Protests erupted downtown over the weekend after video of the encounter, first reported by ABC7 News, came to light.


Abolish the police.

freedom to ridicule, even freedom to kill.

What the hell makes you think they hate freedom?

On the cops. These thing would be reduced by half. Make it a condition of employment.
LEOs have the same rate of drug use as the rest of the population.

and we're supposed to trust these people.

That smirking asshole, taking a picture of what he had done. It's probably on a private cop social media group, where he's bragging about beating a guy less than half his size.

He gets an adrenaline rush from beating this guy and that is why he is all pumped up and happy.
He is on a high just like any drug addict.
He is also most likely a steroid abuser. 6'2" 250 yea he is sticking an needle in his ass.
Remember the female cop did nothing to try and stop him!

if all Civil Settlements came out of their retirement funds. It would benefit the good cops to eliminate the bad ones.
