As someone who lives in LA I can say the LAPD does may things wrong (exp. may day riots) BUT in the video he is saying he can't breath, if he couldnt breath he wouldnt have been able to say it.
when you speak you exhale, not inhale, fool!
yes he can breathe. STOP RESISTING ARREST
MORONS...it's still brutality. They had him pinned to the ground by his throat and torso.Two cops,one civil-ian being beaten by an un-civil-ian servant.They must've forgotten to kick the dogs and beat the wives before leaving for work that day. ( imagine forgetting to do your homework in that household)
police work. it isnt pretty. if you cant deal with police, don't call the police next time you get robbed, raped or beaten. if people that get "beaten" by the police fight and resist officers, what do you think they will do to YOU. diplomacy and begging will not work.
we ask to do something, then we tell to do something, then we make you so it. period!
Yes, but notice what Cardenas, the guy on the ground, is doing to the white haired cops testicles. Look at Cardenas squeezing the officers nuts with the right hand. Seems to me if somebody squezzed your nuts (assuming the officer has them) you could get seriously injured for life. I am no fan of todays NAZI like qualities of the police, but sorry, in this case, the guy on the ground is lucky he had two cops showing restraint. There is no brutality here. Certainly no more than wrestling on TV, which is just about as entertaining.
Alex Schleg.. Hope to hear about that pig getting shot in the face soon :)
wowwwwwwwww pure abuse of power
I'm sure there are some bad cops out there, but I can imagine a lot of the BS that they have to deal with also. I'm sure that over time it can take a psychological toll on them. My remedy, just stay out of trouble and the cops won't bother you. Remember, they're people also. Treat them with respect.
When I see video like this I'm so tired of only seeing the middle of it. So what happened in the beginning and the end. This guy is crying that he can't breathe, but he's still not giving up his hands so he can get cuffed. You don't know if he has something sharp in his hands that he could hurt these officer's with. Look to see how many officer's lives are lost every year and how many lives are saved by officer's every year. Get over your cop hating selves. ASSHOLES!
to exhale you must first inhale
repeatedly (inhaling) to scream (exhaling), I can't breathe. He did it for effect. Kind of like a choking person doesn't start screaming "I am choking"
He's showboating.
that said, cops are still scum. I will never help a cop. Ask me for info I will say call back in the AM and talk to someone else or I am not allowed. F em.
police work is very dangerous. In the line of duty police must make arrests. that means to seize; to take into legal custody by physical means. we all know to cooperate with the law, if we don't the enforcer must escalate the use of force. behind the badge these are just middle aged guys getting punched and spit on by our country's lowest inhabitants. I say, if you can't live by the rules... move to a country with fewer rules, dipshits.
need this officers out of LAPD, there are good LAPD cops up there, they dont need this kind of co-workers.
Welcome To The Police State!
"This is not america."
none of you have obviously been in that position with any cops before. Sounds like a bunch of white republicans supporting the boys who do black and blue...wait till you are under that color and see how you react, as a victim, being held down by the throat, with one big heavy cop sitting on you and the other illegally and unnecessarily pounding your face in. You will be running for the nearest lawyer crying foul. But here on this blog, you support it...shame.
he barely gets the words saying that he cant breathe,then the lowlife piece of trash lapd scumbag cop has his knee on this throat for christ sakes,then starts punching him in the face because he could barely breathe.watching this video is absolutely sickening,the lowlife scumbag officers should have the samething back to them and see how they like it.
he did not have his nuts he was pulling his thigh because he could not breathe i dont consider using your hands to protect your face from being pummeled is resisting arrest. that cop has no excuse for punching a human being in the face like that that officer should be charged with assault and stripped of his badge. now with that said after reading comments we need to remember police deserve respect, but they need to remember we do to. as far as we ask then we tell then we make you period what if we all had this outlook i hope someone does that to you period i know a lot of police officers that i have a lot of respect for.
More and more it's a police state sneaking up on us. When our "freedom" is gone and martial law is on, think about how you let it happen. Think about how you agreed with these police officers and supported them.
This is to anonymous.
- Don't call the police if I'm raped or beaten or robbed? The police don't do anything but take your info... bullshit logic. Almost ALL police I have encountered have been extremely negative. Police are mostly dickish, if not always, close to it.
This guy is not choking. He would not be able to repeatedly yell he was choking if he was. I have been choked and you can't get that much sound out. Also he wouldn't have the arm strength that he shows. No these officers are using minimal force to try and get him handcuffed. But the man continues to resist.
any one who looks at this video that can`t tell there was too much force, must be blind or stupid
you can talk when you can't breathe... hold your breath and start talking.. see, simple isn't it??
When being choked, a persons'fight or flight response kicks in giving that person an adrenalin rush that will provide plenty of strength to "fight back" till they're overpowered. Anybody who has been in this type of situation would know this. Personally when my exboyfriend chocked me, I still had plenty of fight left in me till my oxygen resources caused me to start to black out, enough to bloody up his face with my keys.Unfortounatly this also prompted the cop to arrest me instead of him when they arrived. Short story, it took an affidavid from the doctor at the hospital who could still see his hand prints on my neck FOUR hours later to get the charges dropped. Also the cop didn't even want to take me to the hospital and argued with his sergent before taking me. This all happened in Orange county, Florida, where about 80 prcent of the cops are currupt and the jail gaurds have arrest records.
What a good man respect, kill any suspect u see!
all sides are idiots..this sh,,t happens..it happened to me..only a lot worse and for no good reason. The cop who did it later came to my house with mu lisence and told me ( in a round about way, that he sort of apologized) he had jus come from another incident where he had to subdue a guy for real. the guy was suicidal..well guess what..i saw that guy in the jail the night before..he was 65. I am 54 and we both looked like hell. i have fractured jaw, black eyes, scrapre head. I. was pulled over for traffic, and appaerantly got out of the cat too fast. never got a word in at all. by the time i spoke, i was in jail witk bloody clothes, and the rescue squad had me on a gurney...id tell more, but i can't right now
"none of you have obviously been in that position with any cops before.

You will be running for the nearest lawyer crying foul. But here on this blog, you support it...shame." your a fucking moron the guy was resisting arrest and that is a crime legally enforced with blunt force to make the criminal settle down. hes can obviously breathe or he wouldnt be screaming that much. your all fucking one sided people. I do agree that there is too much police brutality but this video is not a good example of that.
im not lying.. i wishh with all my heart that those officers die soon
K so he can breath, but whats up with the punches to the face?
Police Officers are getting payed to protect and serve the community. They are NOT getting paid to get out there and show street justice by bruitaly beating up people that get in their way when they have a bad day due to family, or job issues.
Yes they have to deal with alot of crap while on active duty, but you guys got to understand that it is not right to accept police brutality. What if that was your mothers or fathers or family memeber on the ground?
That person had a life, and he had people that cared very much about him.
And to the person that wrote on Feb. 2nd 2009 at 1:20pm, is a complete jerk.
Why would we wanna call the police if we are getting beat up when we may suspect that they may come down and help the criminals out??
Of course they are just humans, but when they signed that form that said they will protect and serve, i dont think it meant to beat the hell out of the citizens. They are not getting paid for that!
How are we going to have a sense of peace from crime and criminals knowing that out there our so called "law enforcers" are doing exactly what the criminals are doing????
ANYONE CAN DO THAT WHILE WEARING A BADGE AND A GUN YOU DOUCHEBAG!!!
This is bull$*#*.Whar business do the police have htiing people? Does the idiot that defends the cops not realize that there are other ways of restraining people like with a taser(duh).I am sure there have been plenty of incidents where people resist arrest but Im sure mosty of them don't have to be beaten like this. These idiots cops could have also used pressure points to get him to comply.Imagine if God beat us down like this whenver we did not follow his laws.Im not defending the criminal either, he seems like an idiot too. But you would expect somehting like this from a so called "criminal" not the police. I'm sick of all these angry police officers getting away with this crap. It seems that they are above the law and that pisses me off. I have a childhood friend who is a police officer (Ceres, CA) and he lost his job after pulling a knife out on someone while off duty on someone who was threatining him and his girlfriend. No one is perfect including cops but that is no excuse to hit people. We don't get breaks and neither should they. I am far from a racist but Im sure that the guy who defends the cops is white,it seems like they always are. They must beleive that we minortites deserve to be beaten because we are all criminals, am I right? Stop me when I lie.
WHO PUTS THIS POLICE COWERS ON THE STREET?
WHO PAYS THEM ?...OUR TAXES!
For the people that want cops to die and hate law enforcment officers you are very ignorant. You crying uneducated people are the first one's to call law enforcement for any little reason because no one ever taught you to solve problems on your own. If you dont like the police..STOP CALLING THEM.I'm sure with the attitude that you are demonstrating, the world is better off without you in it. Are their corrupt cops out there...YES, but the vast majority of them are good, fair, hard working people that are trying to make your community a better place to live,work, and play. Bottom line, stop doing illegal things and you wont have a problem. Yes, I'm talking to everyone who cant see that every profession has its bad apples. The majority of the people blogging on this site are probably criminals that have been arrested for a valid reason. That is why all of you are crying!
Look at the man's left hand in the white hair cop's crotch,to be able to prevent any injury to themselves if you resist being cuffed and assault police then you will be subdued and if the officer decides to try to knock you unconscience to render you immoble then it is not brutallity.
I'm white, but I see both sides of the fight. I don't know what was really happening in that, but I think it was really f&cked up. Anyone with an ounce of brain can see that (whatever the case may be) that was two to one. To hurt a man lying on the ground.
People need to stop saying that the "bs" cops deal with make them so aggitated and violent. They knew what they were signing up for when they chose to become a police officer. If you don't have the patience to keep from beating the shit out of someone, then you don't need to be a cop. That's why I'll never do it. If I were that man I'd either be dead or in prison, because I would have tried my hardest to tear their disguting faces off.
And then the police wonder, like idiots, why the public a has very low opionion of them. Police should have a civilian review board every year to deem them worthy of another year of employment.
the santa monica PD thru me in jail for 3 nights because a traffic cop told them i was assaulting him with a deadly weapon. they didn't ask questions, even though it "occurred" at broadway and 3rd street at the end of the promenade on a summer saturday afternoon. they didn't arraign me, but released me after seeing video footage from street cameras. there were witnesses everywhere proving i didn't, but they didn't care to hear it. but they still are leaving the case open until after the statute of limitations has expired, a defense in case i sue them. they are the criminals. they and the lapd are corrupt through and through.
I see a lot of ignorant people posting here...
The fact of the matter is there are some good cops out there but many of them are corrupt, hateful, and won’t give it a second thought if they decide to beat you senseless. I’ve seen many cases of police brutality and there are countless cases where someone was simply standing around or perhaps giving the cop a bit of a hard time while trying to dispute whatever it is they were pulled over for and they get tasered and beat for it. It’s perfectly natural to ask questions when you’re unaware of what you supposedly did or to dispute an alleged wrong doing. If you didn’t do anything you shouldn’t be handcuffed and certainly not tasered because the cops’s ego couldn’t stand that little word “No” because all you wanted to sit down and talk about what you supposedly did. I saw a video of a guy who was telling a cop who pulled him over for speeding that the higher speed limit sign began and only then he increased speed and tried to talk to him and tell him his side of the story and he get tasered for it. That is uncalled for.
I came across this video a long time ago and posted it on my blog and I’ve seen the extended version on YouTube and it’s unclear if the man had a weapon in his hand, though it sure doesn’t look like it. It seems to me to be a clear case of police brutality. After all that’s what L.A. cops are known for so there’s no surprise there.
I agree with the last commenter who rightly said that if cops act like this then they shouldn’t be doing what they’re doing. Besides, I’ve felt for a long time now that a lot of cops were likely bullies in school and become cops simply to abuse and harass people for whatever reason. Maybe their dicks are too small so they like to take it out on people. Who knows.
Would I call a cop if I needed help? Hell no. I’d just do it myself. If I got robbed I wouldn’t call the cops. In fact, my vehicle got broken into twice and I didn’t call the cops. Why? They
wouldn’t be able to get my stuff back most likely so what’s the point?
The point is, cops are out of control not only in the US but around the world and it’s time many of you brainwashed citizens wake up to that fact. They view you as the enemy. They view it as “Us vs. Them” and they do not care about you and that’s that.
Wake up people.
