    LAPD Officers Under Investigation After Pacoima Rough Arrest - ktla.com

    One of the reasons I left enforcement to do other things, was the mentality of some of the officers I worked with... these two LA cops bring to mind a number of instances where folks that made a mistake were punished by badged men with an attitude that they are above the law, and have the authority to inflict grave harm if they choose to.

    I am hopeful these two are permanently relieved of duty, and the one that body slammed a handcuffed and non-combative prisoner is prosecuted for aggravated battery.

    Wow. That's awful. From what's shown in the video, I agree completely.

    I can't imagine how two trained men cannot find a better way to handle a situation like this without going straight to the WWF-style take downs. LAPD gas some 'splainin to do.

    I wonder if any nurses at the ER will bother to help out a LAPD officer that shows up on a stretcher after they watch this.
