Stomach-Churning Video: Cops Continue Bashing, Tasing Mentally Ill Man Restrained Laying on Street. You'll Never Call Cops for Help After Watching.
As a mentally ill man lay restrained in the middle of the street, five police state officers in California brutally beat him with batons and shocked him with Tasers. His mother had called police for help due to her son’s illness causing risk of self-harm. Watching the video is stomach churning. Theattack comes less than five years after California police killed mentally ill Kelly Thomas.
The man’s mother said she called police in Salinas shortly after 7 p.m. Friday because her son, Jose Velasco, was running into traffic. He was screaming and jumping onto cars, witnesses say.
Police arrived shortly after called. They claim that they found the 28-year-old Velasco attempting to push his mother into oncoming traffic. The man’s sister says the cops statement is untrue and the video shows none of that. [See police report here.]
“He didn’t try to kill my mom. She walked away just fine,” said sister Antoinette Ramirez.

Cops’ Use Mentally Ill Man as ‘Human Pinata’
A bystander recorded the incident on video. The YouTube video (below) clearly shows officers repeatedly striking Velasco with batons and using Tasers to subdue him, even after he appears to be subdued.
Multiple officers can be seen hitting the victim with haymaker power swings with their batons while Velasco is laying prostrate on the pavement. The video then appears to show the officers holding Velasco down until another officer arrives on the scene. The newly arrived officer immediately begins brutalizing him with his baton as other officers restrain Velasco on the ground.

Whistler Blowers, Insiders
it is difficult to pin down the exact number of cops in the usa,but concensus seems to be around the 600,000 mark.
to police a population of around 320 million.
in any organisation there are bad apples of course.
however,the comparatively tiny number of videos and citizens videos of police abuse suggest to me that incidents of police abuse are far and few between, COMPARED TO, the incredible number of calls they respond to.
we emasculate the police at our peril.
general police bashing is so easy.
however,when you are in danger,who will you call ?
Question: How many police does it take to non-violently restrain a man?
ms dupre,
i am not a police officer,but when you have a large population,asking for assistance under duress,there are tens of thousands of calls every month.
these are tense situations,and with the best training and ethics ever,
mistakes will be made.
accepted.
these are human beings.
i am sure you believe you will perform brilliantly in every threatening situation.
i will agree to differ.
Police brutality has become an epidemic in recent times. Use of excessive force is out-of-control far more than the people. Cops tasing children. Cops bombing houses because maybe a suspect is inside. Cops hand-cuffing little old ladies until their wrists bleed. Cops shooting in the back in self defense…. etc. etc.
Tense situations cause these acts of excessive force? If so, cops need meditation and yoga, or to seek mental health care.
And who mainly do the cops defend in the US? Think about it.
Thinking outside the box?
If you do this you’ll likely notice police brutality really began around the same time the police began lowering their recruitment standards. But ramped up greatly when they decided to create fear among the people 10+ years ago. As a former EMT conversations with some of the so-called Officers of the Law were often depressing as the general opinion among so many cops were that People Are Stupid. You might notice that was a blanket statement. This would include you plsnogod. With some of these guys there was zero compromise. It was pinata time if they figured they could get away with it (then). Now some of these guys seem appointed to cause pain to cause even more fear among the people. But since you want to think outside the box we could bring in the plethora of chemicals we have to breath or ingest because they’ve been determined as safe by those that couldn’t care whether you live or die. Instead I’ll close saying that I too worked in the oil field. I did so on Texas land and off the Louisiana coast in my twenties. Did that for 3 years and I’m really glad I did too. That experience enlightened me to the fact that I was among some of the lowest class of people on earth. The same kind of people now legally brutalizing the general public.
Cops “we have to beat and taser them into complience!” Reality “I have to protect myself or they will kill me!” Yes, you stupid f’n nazis, the natural and absolutely needed responce to a beating is to use your arms and legs to defend your head and body! These things i see you do fill me with extreme hatred towards you! I hope to see the day when the poeple have had enough and put you in your place! Where ever that may be!
And to all you so called good cops, stand up, be seen, and be heard! You swore an auth, which apparently has little meaning! How do we know there are good cops, if you are all in hiding!
i am now retired,but when i was in the oil business,i have lived and worked in certain african countries and a couple of middle eastern countries and one south american country.
in any of these nations,i promise you,you would not want to ever EVER tangle with their police or security forces.
i will put this in even more basic terms:
if you had lived in any of those countries,you would not have written that post.
if you had,the police would be the least of your problems believe me.
okay,our usa is not perfect,and i worry about the march towards federal totalitariasm as much as the other poster’s on this site.
however,our cops are just about the saving grace at the moment. most are OK.
if you don’t think they are,then try living in some of the places i’ve lived.
I’ve lived in a number of those countries and their police are much better. With the exception of a few of those countries, the likelihood of being a victim of police violence is lower than in the US.
That’s why the UN rates the US very high in its police violence rate, iand the US has the highest incarceration rate in the world. In Philadelphia alone, there was one case of police violence per week over four years.
By police violence I mean unnecessary brutality. And there are plenty of videos to document it.
Having been in the oil business you are part of the problem. Our brutal foreign policy is largely oil-driven, and we have worked hard to place tyrannical governments in power in countries where we are extracting the filthy stuff. In the process our military personnel, covert operatives, and mercenaries have been trained to violate human rights and many of the most brutal sadists become police when they return to the US. I’ve met too many oil people who have turned a blind eye to what we are doing to those countries, where most of the time people are worse off due to their resource curse, to credit any of their whitewashing the their crimes.
yes paul brown.
the filthy stuff allows you to power your car,to heat your home,and provide power to almost everything we do.
if we did not have it,your comment and mine would be scratched on a cave wall.
i don’t love it. i may not even like it. but there it is.
in the land of bunnies and fluffy chickens,we would power our lives with lurve..
how would you do it paul ?
and if i may add paul,
i don’t know if you ever think outside the box, however do you not think that lower incidents of police deaths in other countries are perhaps due to the populace are so ssss scared of the police,they don’t confront them.
no great legal redress in guatemala,believe me.
i assume you live on a hilltop,with a small domestic wind turbine,chickens,a fresh water spring,several acres of beetroot and sping onion,and a smug smile.
meanwhile,in the real world…
by the way,you have internet connection. how do you think that happens?
Speaking of thinking outside the box, see
G7 leaders bid ‘Auf Wiedersehen’ to carbon fuels.
Leaders of the world’s major industrial democracies resolved on Monday to wean their energy-hungry economies off carbon fuels, marking a major step in the battle against global warming that raises the chances of a U.N. climate deal later this year.

You can keep touting the fossil fuel industry line, but it’s game over if we continue following it. End of conversation.
