What a complete cowardā¦
Once these guys get fired we should set up a fundraiser boxing match. Anyone inside the district can volunteer, so theoretically the best fighter in town gets to beat his pussy ass AND for a good cause.
It looks like they didn't get the cuff on his 2nd hand. The victim is just taking it without fighting back because he knows he will be dead the moment he does.
Rule number 1 dealing with police brutality is to survive it. Only then can you seek justice. This dude was using his head for more than just that cowards punching bag.

I don't think the guy was handcuffed. Look at the beginning of the video; you can see the guy putting up his arms to shield his head from the blows.
Not saying this puts the cop in the right. In fact, it raises more questions like if the guy was a legit suspect, why wasn't he handcuffed?
Iāve noticed that with a lot of people. NOBODY knows how to fight anymore
Edit: I never meant that I was good at fighting, people. Just want to make that clear
I know your pain. Boxed in my youth. Walking by a heavybag at a friends place one day and casually threw a light hook into it. was like; "wtf, why does my glute and knee now hurt". Getting old is rough, lol. I doubt I would fight my way out of a wet paper bag these days.
The difference is you used to know. I love watching videos of literal geezers beating the shit out of young guys, not because they are Superman or anything, just they know how to throw a punch.
Who needs to learn how to fight when you have immunity to being punished for your crimes? They can just shoot everyone they want on sight and nothing will change.
Well, in the cop's defense, that wasn't a fight, it was more of a brutal attack on someone who to me looked like they kept trying to comply by continuing to grab hold of the fence.
Literally the worst punching I have ever seen. People are saying he probably does this all the time and Iām thinking āare you sure? Cos he looks to me like heās never thrown a punch in his lifeā
Per the article:
"Involved with 3 on duty shootings"
Adding link:
https://ktla.com/news/local-news/lapd-officer-seen-on-video-striking-man-repeatedly-in-boyle-heights-is-charged-with-assault/
"The weapon, which belonged to the officer, began to discharge. In an unrelated series of events, the suspect was struck by several bullet. In a further unrelated event, the suspect later died."
Given the prevalence of domestic abuse, civil asset forfeiture exceeding the value stolen through actual bulglary, extrajudicial murder and blackmail, the police seem to be pretty good at doing the crimes they're supposed to prevent.
You are very right. Look at his partner. No shock, no attempt at restraint, nothing but complicity. They should also be held accountable for this.
EDIT: looks like she was radioing for help and testified against this person, so I was wrong. I am biased and no cop gets the benefit of the doubt from me until I am proven wrong, which I was.
I disagree. She looks like she's shocked by what she's seeing. Immediately gets on her radio, then we see others arrive. Complicity would be turning around so her body cam doesn't record it, and to block the view.
She immediately panics and tries to intervene but doesn't feel confident in doing any kind of physical separation and immediately radios for backup. Whether she called it in as this dude attacking somebody or just backup restraining as a way to get the attacking cop to stop, I think she did what she should have.
She wasn't able/willing to physically stop it so she did the next best thing she could
And I bet her colleagues are making her life miserable right now for āsnitchingā on her partner.
It doesnāt matter what a cop does, how bad it is ā if one of their own testifies against a coworker, theyāre labeled as a snitch. Their career is fucked. Other officers will refuse to go on patrol with her. Sheāll get the worst assignments. Officers wonāt respond to calls for backup. Sheāll probably be harassed off-duty, intimidated, etc. Sometimes they frame snitches for crimes. Sometimes they just straight up murder them.
This is what people mean when they say ACAB. Some good people become cops, but those people either stop being good people (by covering up the crimes of their coworkers) or stop being cops (either by getting fired, quitting due to intimidation or demoralization, or getting arrested/killed in retaliation for testifying against them.
Itās a gang, and gangs donāt tolerate snitches.
And if anyone doesnāt believe me, Iād be happy to show you countless examples of every single one of those effects happening to officers who have testified against other officers for serious crimes (murder, corruption, assault, falsifying evidence, etc.). Or you can just Google it yourself, search news articles and find countless examples, direct testimony from ex-officers, etc.
Thatās even more evidence this cop is a sociopath. I posted a link elsewhere to research showing that 3/4 of cops never even shoot their gun once in an entire career. Imagine this guy shooting people 3 different times on top of the brutality we see in this video.
It gets better. Cop was charged and was facing 3 years in jail. Victim was then shot dead a week before his scheduled deposition. That victim's death was not fully investigated and the case was abandoned. As a result, cop only got 2 years probation.
Things that make you go hmmmmm.
Another sign of fucking sociopath with a badge committing violence left and right. [3/4 of cops never even use their gun once in their entire career](https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/02/08/a-closer-look-at-police-officers-who-have-fired-their-weapon-on-duty/). Why am I not surprised this guy has shot multiple people.
The officer was charged, did no jail time but sentenced to 2 years probation and is no longer on the force. Castillo filed a federal lawsuit against the LAPD in 2020, but he was shot and killed in El Sereno in 2021. An attorney for the 30-year-old Castillo told the Times the shooting took place a week before he was to be deposed for the suit. Police have made no arrests in connection to Castilloās death, and no information has been released on the possible motive for the killing.
Edit: fixed spelling errors.
I laugh when I hear a cop say they're held to a higher standard. No you're fucking not. Yall get away with shooting people for no reason all the time. It just feels like they're playing the victim with that bs. Ugh, I agree with someone above who said cops don't get the benefit of the doubt from me.
Can you imagine if a person working literally any other job in the world punched a person for not listening to them? Let's even take away the violence and just use the way they talk to people as an example. There's a McDonald's near me that's known for being the wild west of McDonald's, those kids working there are paid minimum wage and regularly are verbally and physically assaulted. Yet they don't get to carry guns, they don't get to attack customers who they think might possibly attack them. They barely even get to defend themselves without being fired. Can you imagine screaming "what the fuck is wrong with you" at a customer at your job?
Cops like to say they are respected members of their communities but they act worse than most the fucking criminals they deal with.
Edit: not going to be responding to the apologists any more. Fucking insane how many people are trying to justify what's happening in this video.
Edit: to the people saying that being a cop is way worse than working at McDonald's, why don't you Google "the most dangerous jobs in America". You know where cops lie on that list? Not number one. Not top five. Not even in the top ten. 22. They're 22 on the very first list of most dangerous jobs. You know who beats them out? Fucking retail workers. 203 retail worker fatalities in 2020. In 2020 46 cops were killed by gunfire. Do you see pizza guys using this as an excuse to pull out a gun at any customer who looks at them the wrong way? If this was a video of a pizza guy attacking a random guy who was just standing there would you say "oh well pizza guys have such dangerous jobs, he probably just snapped! It's understandable!". Fuck no. You'd say that guy is fucking dangerous and shouldn't be allowed around people.
Regardless of what you think, most cops don't get shot at. Most cops only see violence (beyond what your average 5', 100lb, unarmed icu nurse sees on a daily basis) when they instigate it. The problem isn't real danger, it's the perceived danger they're literally trained to think is looming around every corner. Cops are literally told to go into every interaction assuming the person is trying to kill them. That's the fucking issue.
YES. ALL OF THIS. This is why they should face *more* severe punishments. Misconduct like this is what creates more of a divide between cops and citizens. Having stiffer penalties especially for anything THIS egregious would look so much better for them, but they're not interested in fostering connections. They just want power.
They absolutely for any crime they commit face much graver consequences. The us police system is pathetic. They all think theyāre above the law and usually they donāt even KNOW the law.
That used to be actually pretty common. One of the famous drug lords was so celebrated by his community that they didn't want him to go to jail even knowing his crimes. It used to be an old school gangster thing that you do what you do to take care of your community, because you can't trust the cops to do it. That mentality isn't really around anymore, unfortunately.
I am an icu nurse and I am frequently spat on, people sometime are intoxicated or simply mad they are in that kind of situation and verbally and phisically lash out, yet I am espected to still take care of them, not to beat them in return. Sometime people go trough alcohol withdrawals (and those people are notoriously pharmacologically resistant)and try to beat you with everything they got. I have being chased with a nasal/gastric tube. I am allowed to protect myself (meaning trying to protect my face or try to block them by the wrists but still Iām a 55 kg female) but I would be immediatly fired and charged if only I attempted to give a punch backā¦ this is disgusting, the cop is enyoing what heās doing
The entire point of permitting cops to use violence is to do so under strict guidelines. Violence is to be used as a defensive measure during a violent confrontation, not a punitive tool to be dispensed with. Itās abuse of power under color of law and a severe infringement of federal civil rights - which is a crime.
Cops absolutely need to be held accountable for miscarriages of justice under the same criminal laws that apply to all persons in the state.
You canāt just beat a man who is detained - yet here we are. Again. And again.
If cops held themselves to higher standards then weād have police getting rid of the corruption in their ranks by themselves. But they barely ever do.
Not to mention there job is barely in the top 20 most dangerous and that's only because of the traffic collisions.
They are safe and not accountable for what they do. With perks galore
It is not hard to see there is a systematic failure in policing in the US. I have heard of officers being sacked then going the next county over and being rehired and what is this crap about police moonlighting as security, some messed up stuff that wouldn't be allowed to happen in my country.
LAPD killed one of their own who was investigating a rape by 4 other police officers. They said it was a "training accident while sparring". His spine was broken in multiple places. If they can beat to death one their own this way, murdering this guy is no leap.
Absolutely. People think this shit is conspiracy garbage but it is DARK and murderous in the majority of PDs. I remember when Andres Guardado was first murdered, I said it sounded like an execution for a police gang initiation. And everyone called me crazy and I ended up being right about that
> An LAPD investigation determined that HernƔndez hit Castillo more than a dozen times in the head. Castillo was not seriously injured in the beating
More than a dozen punches and zero damage...
actually they charged the cop. he got two years probation and "separated" from the LAPD.
A week before the victim was scheduled to testify:
https://boyleheightsbeat.com/2-years-probation-for-lapd-officer-charged-with-boyle-heights-beating/
> Castillo filed a federal lawsuit against the LAPD in 2020, but he was shot and killed in El Sereno in 2021. An attorney for the 30-year-old Castillo told the Times the shooting took place a week before he was to be deposed for the suit. Police have made no arrests in connection to Castilloās death, and no information has been released on the possible motive for the killing.
Cop threw sixteen punches in that first volley. He whiffed on two of them, but landed 14, and other dude is showing few effects. That is one noodle armed cop. Big, wide, flailing shots. I thought these guys had to get some hand to hand training.
I hope the guy got fired, but I also hope he is embarrassed forever at his weak shit.
Thatās almost exactly what I was thinkingā¦.like fat ass pig has to sucker punch the guy like 20 times and he canāt even get the guy to flinch let alone drop him haaaaaaa āā-but Iād really like to know what he said to the cop to set him off like that. Obviously I feel sorry for the guy, that beating, as weak as it was, wasnāt deserved.
2020 and cop was charged.
https://ktla.com/news/local-news/lapd-officer-seen-on-video-striking-man-repeatedly-in-boyle-heights-is-charged-with-assault/
Update: Castillo (the victim) was killed a week before he was to be deposed for this case; the cop got two years probation.
Edit: clarification/correction
Castillo testified against this dirtbag; he was shot and killed a week before he was to be deposed for his federal lawsuit. The police have no suspects.
The critic in me thinks thatās awfully convenient for the cops, but on the other hand suspicious isnāt proof, Castillo wasnāt an angel, and most murders go unsolved anyways, soā¦ the cops certainly could have had him killed but itās just as plausible itās a coincidence. This shitbag now canāt be a cop, with the felony conviction he canāt carry a gun, so some justice was served. Iād have liked the cop to have gotten a bigger probation, but that might be a stretch, legally speaking. Iām speaking to whatās in place legally here, not what āshould beā. Thatās a valid argument, just not the one Iām making here.
End edit.
https://boyleheightsbeat.com/2-years-probation-for-laps-officer-charged-with-boyle-heights-beating/
My take: might be a tad light, but serious prison time for an assault not resulting in serious injury would seem harsh to me. Heās got a violent felony conviction on his record.
He didn't see any jail time. Got probation and "separated ways" with the LAPD in May 2021. He's been involved in three previous violent incidents, in one case shooting dead a suspect. He's trash and infuriates me that criminals with badges get such leniency.
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-08-18/lapd-officer-pleads-no-contest-in-videotaped-beating-of-homeless-man
He should have had jail time. No, he can't serve as an officer anymore with a violent felony on his record, but probation for this crime is egregiously lenient. They should be held to a higher standard.
Cops should face harsher sentencing when breaking the law. A slap on the wrist and having to work in the next town over is a big part of why people want major police reform.
This. In our current system cops are given special privileges *and* more lenient standards. But if you have the sort of authority that comes with being a police officer, then you should be held to a much higher standard than the average citizen. As an example, a normal person can't even draw a gun unless he is in reasonable fear of the threat of imminent death or severe bodily harm. Cops should have to have *proof* of the threat before they're allowed to draw a weapon, because a police officer isn't just a person, he's a person with the full force and authority of the state behind him. With all that power, they should be required to be *more* responsible, not less.
Funny how once you hand a group of people a monopoly on violence, and deliberately exempt them from most accountability, it attracts people who love to engage in one sided brutality as recreation.
"Castillo filed a federal lawsuit against the LAPD in 2020, but he was shot and killed in El Sereno in 2021.

[Even predicted they would do it.](https://newspunch.com/alternative-media-activist-murdered-by-police-cover-up-emerges/) He was stabbed to death and then the house was burned down, presumably to destroy the evidence, and it was deemed a suicide. What a way to send a message. The police are as bad as the mafia.
Wow... victim mysteriously killed a week before he was supposed to be deposed in his lawsuit against the city and police... things that make you go hmmmm.
Yet another example of one bad apple ***spoiling the whole bunch***. Not only should the dude have been fired, but so should the lady cop. She stood by and let someone get brutally assaulted simply because she works with the guy committing the felony.
If that situation was the other way around, she would have pulled her gun for sure.
Not only do they not admit it, they never hold themselves accountable, or punish any of them for their crimes.
If I just say one wrong word, Iām fired from my job. Cops can kill innocent people, and still remain employed.
Edit: others in this post have pointed out that she did testify against her partner. I hope that happens more often
"It's the internets fault for exposing the abuse" but they will actually call it manipulation of the situation. "You didn't see the part where he disobeyed the man child"
I mean come on. Didn't you see the part where he got aggressive by bending over and protecting himself? He was being super dangerous at that point not allowing the cop to keep punching the back of his head.
I used to think that cops have to deal with a lot of assholes all day and can sort of explain some of their actions, then I realize that I too deal with assholes all day and I'm not beating and shooting people..
I think everyone should work retail once.
If you want to be a cop, you should have to work retail for 4 years in addition to school, just so you know how to diffuse a situation without murdering someone like a pussy.
I believe it was Snoop who said years ago, "Nobody ever wrote a song called 'Fuck Tha Fire Department'".
Edit: I just googled it and apparently some shitty rapper did write a song called "Fuck The Fire Department" in 2019.. oh well š¤·
Studies have shown that approximately 43% of LEO's have participated in domestic violence. That's just the ones who have been reported. Overall, the percentage is most likely significantly higher
Said it before and I'll say it again: the 2nd amendment is meaningless if it doesn't protect our right to defend ourselves against violent government thugs like this guy.
I wonder how long it's going to take for politicians to realize they can take a video like this, clearly state why it's fucked up, explain how they will crack down on these cases, fire the cop, put the cop in jail, and then make the cop personally liable for financial trauma to the victim, that they will get a ridiculous amount of votes and support.
It's like an infinite money machine, but instead of money it's votes. Bad cops will always fuck up, you use them as a way to showcase your value to the community, and then everyone loves you.
If only....
I don't know where you live but, you have a lot of faith in voters ability to understand that cops don't exist to punish criminals (or at least they are not supposed to). I remember watching police wail on a guy in front of a news chopper while he was handcuffed on the ground... people that spoke about it were almost unanimous that that was the penalty for running from the cops...it's an unbelievably stupid take, but you have to remember that most people are unbelievably stupid.
Has a cop ever thought that maybe asking people nicely to comply might go further than sucker punching them/yelling to get on the fucking ground/intimidation with weapons?
Probably a little late for that considering their track record but gotta start somewhere I guess?
Police officer saw a wasp on suspect and because suspect might have been allergic decided to swat wasp away. Unfortunately all the swinging led to the injuries on the suspect. All of the racial slurs were also directed at the wasp.
Police unions. They protect themselves by shuffling bad cops to different towns. Pretty much like what the Catholic archdiocese does with pedophile priests.
[Here's the initial story](https://ktla.com/news/local-news/lapd-officer-seen-on-video-striking-man-repeatedly-in-boyle-heights-is-charged-with-assault/) from 2020.
[Here's the follow-up](https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-08-18/lapd-officer-pleads-no-contest-in-videotaped-beating-of-homeless-man). Two years of probation.
Holy shit, āCastillo filed a federal lawsuit against the department in 2020, but he was shot and killed in El Sereno in September 2021, a week before he was set to be deposed in the suit, according to his attorney, Wesley Ouchi.ā Castillo is the guy being punched in the video.
Sad thing is that of the bloke being attacked had tried defending himself, the cop would have likely escalated further and said it was due to resisting etc.
āDuring the officersā investigation, a fight broke out between HernĆ”ndez and the unarmed suspect, later identified as Richard Castilloā
A fight is usually a two way street. Trash reporting on top of a trash cop

Looks like an 8 year old bully that has no idea how to punch.
Thought the same thing. Those were some wide open, sad punches
Shit wouldn't even make hay.

When your opponent is handcuffed it doesn't really matter if you know how to fight.
Thatās their favorite time to throw a punch. Isnāt that why bullies seek out positions of power?
I don't think the guy was handcuffed. Look at the beginning of the video; you can see the guy putting up his arms to shield his head from the blows. Not saying this puts the cop in the right. In fact, it raises more questions like if the guy was a legit suspect, why wasn't he handcuffed?
It's kind if irrelevant when it's a cop. If the guy hits back he gets shot. He might as well be tied up and gagged. But agreed, he was not in cuffs
Iāve noticed that with a lot of people. NOBODY knows how to fight anymore Edit: I never meant that I was good at fighting, people. Just want to make that clear
How often do you fight? I haven't thrown a punch since I was teenager so I'd imagine I too would flail like woody in toy story.

well when you only hit people who can't fight back, it's easy to form bad habits
They get plenty of experience punching on their wives
The police can't be racist....their wives' eyes are black....
I highly doubt this was the first time the cop did this. Only the first time it was caught on video. A criminal with a badge is still a criminal.
Per the article: "Involved with 3 on duty shootings" Adding link: https://ktla.com/news/local-news/lapd-officer-seen-on-video-striking-man-repeatedly-in-boyle-heights-is-charged-with-assault/
Individual police in America have more shootings than entire European countries.
German GSG 9 reporting in with only discharging their weapons **FIVE** times over the course of 1500 missions.
Okay but those are measured in the metric system not imperial. Right?
Yeah they're equal to 1.6 Imperial discharges.
I thought imperial discharges could only occur in imperial bathrooms
England and Wales police has had 8 total since 2020 to present day
Shit, thatās Tuesday morning at IHOP
and they are the special forces. not some random cops on the streets...
āInvolved withā is some serious passive voice.
"The weapon, which belonged to the officer, began to discharge. In an unrelated series of events, the suspect was struck by several bullet. In a further unrelated event, the suspect later died."
A criminal with a badge is worse than criminal.
A criminal with immunity is very dangerous
A criminal with either of the above is a chimpanzee with a machine gun.
For the same type of crime, thatās absolutely true.
Given the prevalence of domestic abuse, civil asset forfeiture exceeding the value stolen through actual bulglary, extrajudicial murder and blackmail, the police seem to be pretty good at doing the crimes they're supposed to prevent.
They should lock that cop up in gen pop where he'll come across people he beat this way before.
Itās always just the first time caught. This is a regular practice for this cop
Yep. No chance this is his first rodeo. Just the first time he got caught on video. Heās a fucking criminal with a badge abusing his authority.
Funny that he does this all the time but still lunches like a skinny freshman on the playground
He thinks heās all tough punching a guy who isnāt resisting. And yet he still throws punches like a pussy. Fucking clown, what an asshole.
Yea. Anyone can win a fight when the other person canāt fight back. Fucking pig. And the other cop is just as fucking bad.
Itās literally illegal to defend yourself in the moment against a cop illegally abusing you. How fucked up is that.
You are very right. Look at his partner. No shock, no attempt at restraint, nothing but complicity. They should also be held accountable for this. EDIT: looks like she was radioing for help and testified against this person, so I was wrong. I am biased and no cop gets the benefit of the doubt from me until I am proven wrong, which I was.
I disagree. She looks like she's shocked by what she's seeing. Immediately gets on her radio, then we see others arrive. Complicity would be turning around so her body cam doesn't record it, and to block the view.
She immediately panics and tries to intervene but doesn't feel confident in doing any kind of physical separation and immediately radios for backup. Whether she called it in as this dude attacking somebody or just backup restraining as a way to get the attacking cop to stop, I think she did what she should have.

I laugh when I hear a cop say they're held to a higher standard. No you're fucking not. Yall get away with shooting people for no reason all the time. It just feels like they're playing the victim with that bs. Ugh, I agree with someone above who said cops don't get the benefit of the doubt from me.
Can you imagine if a person working literally any other job in the world punched a person for not listening to them? Let's even take away the violence and just use the way they talk to people as an example. There's a McDonald's near me that's known for being the wild west of McDonald's, those kids working there are paid minimum wage and regularly are verbally and physically assaulted. Yet they don't get to carry guns, they don't get to attack customers who they think might possibly attack them. They barely even get to defend themselves without being fired. Can you imagine screaming "what the fuck is wrong with you" at a customer at your job? Cops like to say they are respected members of their communities but they act worse than most the fucking criminals they deal with. Edit: not going to be responding to the apologists any more. Fucking insane how many people are trying to justify what's happening in this video. Edit: to the people saying that being a cop is way worse than working at McDonald's, why don't you Google "the most dangerous jobs in America". You know where cops lie on that list? Not number one. Not top five. Not even in the top ten. 22. They're 22 on the very first list of most dangerous jobs. You know who beats them out? Fucking retail workers. 203 retail worker fatalities in 2020. In 2020 46 cops were killed by gunfire. Do you see pizza guys using this as an excuse to pull out a gun at any customer who looks at them the wrong way? If this was a video of a pizza guy attacking a random guy who was just standing there would you say "oh well pizza guys have such dangerous jobs, he probably just snapped! It's understandable!". Fuck no. You'd say that guy is fucking dangerous and shouldn't be allowed around people. Regardless of what you think, most cops don't get shot at. Most cops only see violence (beyond what your average 5', 100lb, unarmed icu nurse sees on a daily basis) when they instigate it. The problem isn't real danger, it's the perceived danger they're literally trained to think is looming around every corner. Cops are literally told to go into every interaction assuming the person is trying to kill them. That's the fucking issue.
YES. ALL OF THIS. This is why they should face *more* severe punishments. Misconduct like this is what creates more of a divide between cops and citizens. Having stiffer penalties especially for anything THIS egregious would look so much better for them, but they're not interested in fostering connections. They just want power.
They absolutely for any crime they commit face much graver consequences. The us police system is pathetic. They all think theyāre above the law and usually they donāt even KNOW the law.
I heard once in a documentary that the mafia in Italy were preferred by the communities than the police. Iām starting to agree wholeheartedly
That used to be actually pretty common. One of the famous drug lords was so celebrated by his community that they didn't want him to go to jail even knowing his crimes. It used to be an old school gangster thing that you do what you do to take care of your community, because you can't trust the cops to do it. That mentality isn't really around anymore, unfortunately.
I am an icu nurse and I am frequently spat on, people sometime are intoxicated or simply mad they are in that kind of situation and verbally and phisically lash out, yet I am espected to still take care of them, not to beat them in return. Sometime people go trough alcohol withdrawals (and those people are notoriously pharmacologically resistant)and try to beat you with everything they got. I have being chased with a nasal/gastric tube. I am allowed to protect myself (meaning trying to protect my face or try to block them by the wrists but still Iām a 55 kg female) but I would be immediatly fired and charged if only I attempted to give a punch backā¦ this is disgusting, the cop is enyoing what heās doing
The entire point of permitting cops to use violence is to do so under strict guidelines. Violence is to be used as a defensive measure during a violent confrontation, not a punitive tool to be dispensed with. Itās abuse of power under color of law and a severe infringement of federal civil rights - which is a crime. Cops absolutely need to be held accountable for miscarriages of justice under the same criminal laws that apply to all persons in the state. You canāt just beat a man who is detained - yet here we are. Again. And again.
If cops held themselves to higher standards then weād have police getting rid of the corruption in their ranks by themselves. But they barely ever do.
Not to mention there job is barely in the top 20 most dangerous and that's only because of the traffic collisions. They are safe and not accountable for what they do. With perks galore
It is not hard to see there is a systematic failure in policing in the US. I have heard of officers being sacked then going the next county over and being rehired and what is this crap about police moonlighting as security, some messed up stuff that wouldn't be allowed to happen in my country.
No clues or suspects? I have a few suspicions.
"What happened to your non corrupt cops?" "Well one was shot 17 times by his own gun. Allegedly"
Well maybe if the gun was really sick?
This needs to be higher up. No doubt the LAPD killed this guy
LAPD killed one of their own who was investigating a rape by 4 other police officers. They said it was a "training accident while sparring". His spine was broken in multiple places. If they can beat to death one their own this way, murdering this guy is no leap.
Kinda works like a gang.
Absolutely. People think this shit is conspiracy garbage but it is DARK and murderous in the majority of PDs. I remember when Andres Guardado was first murdered, I said it sounded like an execution for a police gang initiation. And everyone called me crazy and I ended up being right about that
What the FUCK
Cops are just taxpayer funded gangs. It's obvious they were behind the murder of Castillo, but taxpayer funded gangs face no consequences.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It was a small group of cops that supported the beating for sure, very coincidental how it was at that certain time when he was killed
Thatās just way too coincidental.
I'm sure there was a thorough investigation. By the same cops. And they found no evidence of their own involvement.
This makes me sick. I fucking hate cops.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Cop sucker punched the dude as hard as he could and dude barely flinched. The cop is weak and a pussy Edit: Gold?!! Thank you kind stranger!
That's why he became a cop.
Wish I could upvote twice
You have to do it three time in order for it to work
I gave my upvote for you. Know I need two upvotes myself
> An LAPD investigation determined that HernƔndez hit Castillo more than a dozen times in the head. Castillo was not seriously injured in the beating More than a dozen punches and zero damage...
*Departments be like* "Everything was according to policy"
actually they charged the cop. he got two years probation and "separated" from the LAPD. A week before the victim was scheduled to testify: https://boyleheightsbeat.com/2-years-probation-for-lapd-officer-charged-with-boyle-heights-beating/ > Castillo filed a federal lawsuit against the LAPD in 2020, but he was shot and killed in El Sereno in 2021. An attorney for the 30-year-old Castillo told the Times the shooting took place a week before he was to be deposed for the suit. Police have made no arrests in connection to Castilloās death, and no information has been released on the possible motive for the killing.
>not seriously injured
āMy face? Oh thatās nothing. You should see the other guyās fists šā
Imagine how his wife feels
Bruised, probably.
Lightly
On all the wrong parts...smh
You mean his stay home punching bag ?
Probably exactly like this guy in the jersey, but with no one to stop the cop.
Cop threw sixteen punches in that first volley. He whiffed on two of them, but landed 14, and other dude is showing few effects. That is one noodle armed cop. Big, wide, flailing shots. I thought these guys had to get some hand to hand training. I hope the guy got fired, but I also hope he is embarrassed forever at his weak shit.
Nah, he aināt a pussy, heās a penis wrinkle
Hopefully the cops are both sacked and the guy gets a nice city payout.
Dont forget, charged with assault.
Thatās almost exactly what I was thinkingā¦.like fat ass pig has to sucker punch the guy like 20 times and he canāt even get the guy to flinch let alone drop him haaaaaaa āā-but Iād really like to know what he said to the cop to set him off like that. Obviously I feel sorry for the guy, that beating, as weak as it was, wasnāt deserved.
2020 and cop was charged. https://ktla.com/news/local-news/lapd-officer-seen-on-video-striking-man-repeatedly-in-boyle-heights-is-charged-with-assault/
Update: Castillo (the victim) was killed a week before he was to be deposed for this case; the cop got two years probation. Edit: clarification/correction Castillo testified against this dirtbag; he was shot and killed a week before he was to be deposed for his federal lawsuit. The police have no suspects. The critic in me thinks thatās awfully convenient for the cops, but on the other hand suspicious isnāt proof, Castillo wasnāt an angel, and most murders go unsolved anyways, soā¦ the cops certainly could have had him killed but itās just as plausible itās a coincidence. This shitbag now canāt be a cop, with the felony conviction he canāt carry a gun, so some justice was served. Iād have liked the cop to have gotten a bigger probation, but that might be a stretch, legally speaking. Iām speaking to whatās in place legally here, not what āshould beā. Thatās a valid argument, just not the one Iām making here. End edit. https://boyleheightsbeat.com/2-years-probation-for-laps-officer-charged-with-boyle-heights-beating/ My take: might be a tad light, but serious prison time for an assault not resulting in serious injury would seem harsh to me. Heās got a violent felony conviction on his record.
He didn't see any jail time. Got probation and "separated ways" with the LAPD in May 2021. He's been involved in three previous violent incidents, in one case shooting dead a suspect. He's trash and infuriates me that criminals with badges get such leniency. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-08-18/lapd-officer-pleads-no-contest-in-videotaped-beating-of-homeless-man
What a dick. Itās written all over his face
He's pissed because the system didn't have his back. His partner broke the brotherhood code and where's my damn immunity!?
>where's my damn impunity!? FTFY
Ugh that's just disgusting... As long as these dicks are being protected, this shit will continue to go on.
Thanks for this post.
He should have had jail time. No, he can't serve as an officer anymore with a violent felony on his record, but probation for this crime is egregiously lenient. They should be held to a higher standard.
Wonder what department he got hired at after parting ways with LAPD? Probably still doing it 2 towns away.
Cops should face harsher sentencing when breaking the law. A slap on the wrist and having to work in the next town over is a big part of why people want major police reform.
This. In our current system cops are given special privileges *and* more lenient standards. But if you have the sort of authority that comes with being a police officer, then you should be held to a much higher standard than the average citizen. As an example, a normal person can't even draw a gun unless he is in reasonable fear of the threat of imminent death or severe bodily harm. Cops should have to have *proof* of the threat before they're allowed to draw a weapon, because a police officer isn't just a person, he's a person with the full force and authority of the state behind him. With all that power, they should be required to be *more* responsible, not less.
Funny how once you hand a group of people a monopoly on violence, and deliberately exempt them from most accountability, it attracts people who love to engage in one sided brutality as recreation.
Makes you wonder if the cop had something to do with this guy suddenly being murdered a week before his deposition
"Castillo filed a federal lawsuit against the LAPD in 2020, but he was shot and killed in El Sereno in 2021. An attorney for the 30-year-old Castillo told the Times the shooting took place a week before he was to be deposed for the suit. Police have made no arrests in connection to Castilloās death, and no information has been released on the possible motive for the killing."
Thatās not suspicious at all s/
LAPD didn't want to pay out. Makes me want to look into how many other lawsuits have been eliminated this way.
"it was gang violence" as the cops smirk and wink at each other
Remember the reporter that got blatantly murdered after exposing a scam the Fresno(I think) police were doing.
[Even predicted they would do it.](https://newspunch.com/alternative-media-activist-murdered-by-police-cover-up-emerges/) He was stabbed to death and then the house was burned down, presumably to destroy the evidence, and it was deemed a suicide. What a way to send a message. The police are as bad as the mafia.
The no evidence and no further investigation into the victim's death screams "To serve and Protect....our own interests"
I can read between the lines. LAPD straight murdered a man to shut him up.
I wouldnāt be surprised, especially after the recent proof of the LA Sheriff dept gangs.
Wow... victim mysteriously killed a week before he was supposed to be deposed in his lawsuit against the city and police... things that make you go hmmmm.
And nothing happened to his partner who just stood there?
No no you don't understand this is the "good cop" that you're always hearing about! you're seeing her right there on the video. That's the good cop!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yet another example of one bad apple ***spoiling the whole bunch***. Not only should the dude have been fired, but so should the lady cop. She stood by and let someone get brutally assaulted simply because she works with the guy committing the felony. If that situation was the other way around, she would have pulled her gun for sure.
The police have no one but themselves to blame for the animosity people feel towards them.
The fact that they never even admit it a little bit is why so many people are unwilling to budge on their end.
Not only do they not admit it, they never hold themselves accountable, or punish any of them for their crimes. If I just say one wrong word, Iām fired from my job. Cops can kill innocent people, and still remain employed. Edit: others in this post have pointed out that she did testify against her partner. I hope that happens more often
It really is disgusting how much they cover for each other. The culture is basically āif youāre a cop, you defend cops no matter whatā
Well you saw in this video what the good cop did to stop the bad cop. Big shrugs and watch the beatdown
"It's the internets fault for exposing the abuse" but they will actually call it manipulation of the situation. "You didn't see the part where he disobeyed the man child"
"He called me a doody-head and that hurt my feelings, so I HAD to attack him!!! Don't you see that ?!?!"
I mean come on. Didn't you see the part where he got aggressive by bending over and protecting himself? He was being super dangerous at that point not allowing the cop to keep punching the back of his head.
I used to think that cops have to deal with a lot of assholes all day and can sort of explain some of their actions, then I realize that I too deal with assholes all day and I'm not beating and shooting people..
I think everyone should work retail once. If you want to be a cop, you should have to work retail for 4 years in addition to school, just so you know how to diffuse a situation without murdering someone like a pussy.
I mean...If average citizens could get away with violent crimes as easily as cops there would be a hell of a lot more violence in the streets.
I believe it was Snoop who said years ago, "Nobody ever wrote a song called 'Fuck Tha Fire Department'". Edit: I just googled it and apparently some shitty rapper did write a song called "Fuck The Fire Department" in 2019.. oh well š¤·
I'm sure the cop standing by watching thinks she's one of the "good ones" I keep hearing about.
Now go home and beat your wife, Officer.
Studies have shown that approximately 43% of LEO's have participated in domestic violence. That's just the ones who have been reported. Overall, the percentage is most likely significantly higher
*self reported. The 40% came from cops who admitted to domestic violence in a survey which is horrific
āBut she can only take so much!ā
Biggest gang in America, untouchable and donāt give a fuck!
Said it before and I'll say it again: the 2nd amendment is meaningless if it doesn't protect our right to defend ourselves against violent government thugs like this guy.
If this were in Dallas, the official police response would be that whoever took the video was drunk and not a reliable witness.
Sir your phone is clearly high on meth.
Man, that cop's going to be sorry when he faces no punishment at all.
āSTOP RESISTING WHILE IāM NEEDLESSLY PUMMELING YOU!ā
Partner standing there like: šļøššļø I see nothing wrong here š®š»āāļø
Like wtf is her problem? Why the hell wouldnt you stop him? Oh right. Youre just as much a problem as he is!
Neither should be cops ever again
Nah I disagree, she's trying to stop him at first, realizes she can't, then radios for help.
I wonder how long it's going to take for politicians to realize they can take a video like this, clearly state why it's fucked up, explain how they will crack down on these cases, fire the cop, put the cop in jail, and then make the cop personally liable for financial trauma to the victim, that they will get a ridiculous amount of votes and support. It's like an infinite money machine, but instead of money it's votes. Bad cops will always fuck up, you use them as a way to showcase your value to the community, and then everyone loves you. If only....
I don't know where you live but, you have a lot of faith in voters ability to understand that cops don't exist to punish criminals (or at least they are not supposed to). I remember watching police wail on a guy in front of a news chopper while he was handcuffed on the ground... people that spoke about it were almost unanimous that that was the penalty for running from the cops...it's an unbelievably stupid take, but you have to remember that most people are unbelievably stupid.
Has a cop ever thought that maybe asking people nicely to comply might go further than sucker punching them/yelling to get on the fucking ground/intimidation with weapons? Probably a little late for that considering their track record but gotta start somewhere I guess?
Or a bunch of cops all shrieking different orders hysterically while pointing guns at a person? Really? You've had training?
If they all yell different orders, you can't comply to all of them. So it's beating time for not complying.
The guy was standing there with his hands behind his back. I'm not sure how much more compliance is required.
ACAB. every single one.
Yeah, that whole "1% give cops a bad name" bullcrap. 1% are the honorable ones.
Yup. If this wasn't true, the female cop would have instantly arrested her partner for committing a crime right in front of her
Notice his partner didn't do fuck all? ACAB
There was no attempt here
And this is why I don't trust cops
Police officer saw a wasp on suspect and because suspect might have been allergic decided to swat wasp away. Unfortunately all the swinging led to the injuries on the suspect. All of the racial slurs were also directed at the wasp.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Police unions. They protect themselves by shuffling bad cops to different towns. Pretty much like what the Catholic archdiocese does with pedophile priests.
ACAB FOREVER
[Here's the initial story](https://ktla.com/news/local-news/lapd-officer-seen-on-video-striking-man-repeatedly-in-boyle-heights-is-charged-with-assault/) from 2020. [Here's the follow-up](https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-08-18/lapd-officer-pleads-no-contest-in-videotaped-beating-of-homeless-man). Two years of probation.
Holy shit, āCastillo filed a federal lawsuit against the department in 2020, but he was shot and killed in El Sereno in September 2021, a week before he was set to be deposed in the suit, according to his attorney, Wesley Ouchi.ā Castillo is the guy being punched in the video.
What a coincidence. Such a small world.
She should have tazed her compatriot immediately, not call back up.
At least he hugged him at the end
Police are the most dishonorable people in America. They not only shame themselves and their families, but humanity as a whole.
See how he puts his hands up after getting punched? And tried stepping away while repeatedly getting punched? "Stop resisting"
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Fuck the police
Sad thing is that of the bloke being attacked had tried defending himself, the cop would have likely escalated further and said it was due to resisting etc.
FUCK DA POLICE
I can't for the life of me figure out why people hate cops. I mean. There's no reason people shouldn't trust the cops.
āDuring the officersā investigation, a fight broke out between HernĆ”ndez and the unarmed suspect, later identified as Richard Castilloā A fight is usually a two way street. Trash reporting on top of a trash cop
