White Vallejo Cop Tackles Surrendering Black Man & Then Assaults Him with Fists & Deadly Weapon [Metal Flashlight]
From [HERE] and [HERE] A brutal takedown by a white Vallejo police was caught on cellphone video. Witnesses said the force the officer used on the suspect was too much. It happened Friday afternoon according to authorities after someone called 911 to report a man acting “crazy” at a Valero gas station.
Witnesses said the first arriving white officer chased the suspect for several minutes until the suspect finally gave up and sat down in the middle of the street.
Then, while he was sitting surrendered on the ground the officer dove or pounced on him. Perhaps surprised the suspect appeared to defend himself as the officer started striking him in his face with his fist and elbow. The officer then strikes the Black man with a metal flashlight. Subsequently, another white cop arrives and although both cops appear to have subdued him the cop continues to hit him with a metal flashlight.
“The kid surrendered,” said one witness who didn’t want to give his name. “The cop, on the other hand, came up right behind him and he was tired too. But he immediately dove on the kid and started wailing on him.”
During the assault the suspect repeats, “I am God, I am God.” Off-camera, someone in the crowd is yelling “police brutality.”
Vallejo police said Internal Affairs is reviewing the video to investigate all aspects of the arrest including the officer’s use of profanity. He dropped the f-bomb at least twice in the video.
One officer claimed to be injured in the confrontation [broke his hand on suspect's face?]
The suspect is in jail facing charges of being “under the influence” and “resisting arrest.”
